CBSE 2024 Board Exams: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will not award any overall division, distinction or aggregate to the students appearing for the Class 10 and Class 12 exams in 2024. The board will neither calculate nor declare and inform the percentage of marks. The notification comes after the board has received requests from multiple candidates to intimate the criteria for calculating the percentage of students.

The board further announces that if a candidate has taken more than five subjects, the decision to determine the best five subjects may be taken by the admitting institutes or the employer recruiting the CBSE board student.

Saying that if the percentage of marks is required for higher education or in employment, the calculation, if any, can be taken by the admitting institution or employer.
