NEW DELHI: With the number of 90 per cent and above scorers steadily increasing every year, it is not surprising that students of several schools in the National Capital Region have passed out with flying colours in the Class XII examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education, the results of which were announced on Friday.

Manav Sthali School at Rajendra Nagar in Delhi is a case in point. As many as 277 students of this institution have secured 90 per cent and above in different subjects, while 28 students have their aggregate marks in that bracket.

A fairly high 94 students secured their aggregate percentage between 80 and 90 per cent. Siddharth Grover is the school topper in Science with 94.6 per cent. Rohit Chabbra has scored the highest percentage in the Commerce stream with 94.4 per cent.

Similarly students of Col. Satsangi’s Kiran Memorial Public School in Chhattarpur have also put up an impressive performance.

Some of the high scorers here include Utkarsh Kumar (96.7 per cent), Nadim Rahman (92.7 per cent), Anjali Gupta (90.05 per cent), Prateek Kohli (93 per cent) and Suman Das Gupta (90.2 per cent).There are a number of students who have shown a remarkable improvement since their Class X CBSE results. “An important fact in view of which our results are to be seen is that the school follows the nil failure system evolved by founder-chairman Col. P. S. Satsangi. The school allows each and every child to attempt the CBSE exam. We not only cater to high performers but also strive to facilitate under-achievers,” says Principal Shakuntla S. Jaiman.

The girls of Vidya Devi Jindal School on Delhi Road in Hisar have also notched up high scores. The school has registered a pass percentage of 81.03.

The school topper, Chandreye Dutta (Humanities), has scored a remarkable 97.2 per cent.
