However, in both regions, pass percentage has dipped significantly compared to 2021 results. Last year, 99.77% candidates in Chandigarh region and 99.46% in Panchkula region had passed. Last year, the results were calculated on the basis of marks uploaded by schools internally and exams were cancelled due to Covid, so the pass percentage had shot up manifold.
This year, the board had divided exams into two parts: Term I and Term II, to reduce burden on students due to Covid.
In the Chandigarh region, a total of 1,37,343 candidates appeared for Class 10 exams of which 1,30,994 passed. The pass percentage for boys stood at 96.98% in the region and it was 98.02% for girls.
