    Synopsis

    Various schools are affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE),. The results of some of these schools increased very sharply as Covid-19 pandemic struck. Careers360 compares, the percentage of students graduating from Class 10 and 12 boards from schools such as Kendriya Vidyalayas, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, APS, Government Schools and other private schools

    CBSE is the most popular national education board for public and private schools in India. Over 24,000 schools across the country and around 240 schools in 26 countries across the globe are affiliated to CBSE.

    The CBSE affiliates approximately 1,138 Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs), 595 JNVs, 3011 government schools and 16,741 independent schools and 14 central Tibetan schools.

    Careers360 scrutinised the CBSE schools data which was drawn from the website of the Army Welfare Education Society and explored the CBSE school results for Class 10 and 12.

    Army Public schools(APS) and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya(JNV) always show better results compared with the other Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools. During the Covid-19 period, virtual classes and open book exams were conducted and as expected the results of the other CBSE schools, government or private, increased significantly.

    CBSE Class 12 Result : Comparison

    The APSs, KVs and JNVs have had very good results each year. In 2018-19, government schools, private schools and other CBSE schools had a very low percentage of students who cleared Class 12 boards and the difference was more than 10 percentage points compared to the APSs, KVs and JNVs.

    After Covid-19 however, the result of these schools sharply increased. It may be because of the exams which were conducted in virtual mode or the marking was lenient. By 2020-21, all schools showed a result with more than 99 per cent of their students successfully clearing Class 12 boards.
