The girls again outshone boys with a pass percentage of 72.59. For boys, it was 54.42. PSEB chairman Balbir Singh Dhol, while declaring the results, said the pass percentage dipped this year because they had not given any extra marks to students. Last year, the Board landed in a controversy for giving as high as 27 extra marks to the students to improve the pass percentage.

Amisha Arora and Prabhjot Joshi, both from Ludhiana, bagged the top two positions in the state. Amisha topped by securing 98.44 per cent marks while Prabhjot came second with 98.22 per cent. Ria from Gurdaspur district got 98 per cent marks and stood third.
