The overall pass percentage has however, dipped to 82 per cent from 83.05 per cent in 2016.
Anxiety and panic gripped students after the Delhi High Court had earlier this week ordered the board to continue with its moderation policy which was scrapped last month.
I want to congratulate all the students who scored well. I also want to say those who did not do well should try again. #CBSE12thResult2017

After contemplating moving the Supreme Court, the board decided against it as the process would have delayed the results further. Over 10 lakh students had appeared for Class 12 examination this year.
