CBSE Class 12th Result LIVE: On decline in pass percentage, Dr Jyoti Arora, principal of Mount Abu Public School said, “A slight decline in CBSE Class 12 results may be attributed to a combination of factors rather than any single reason. It may be due to stricter and more competency-based evaluation practices along with greater focus on conceptual understanding under NEP 2020. It may not be appropriate to link it only with OSM checking. It would be premature to attribute the trend solely to OSM checking or evaluation methodology.The pattern indicates a gradual shift from rote learning to application-based assessment.”
