Delhi’s pass percentage improved by over one per cent in CBSE examinations this year. Shagun Goel of Delhi Public School RK Puram who opted for Computer Science emerged as the Delhi topper with 98.8 per cent marks while Ojaswi Malik from the DPS RK Puram stood second with 98.8 percent in Humanities.
Mohammad Kamal Ashraf of Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV), AFS Rajokari stood 2nd in the all India merit list of KVs in Science stream by securing 97.8 per cent (489 out of 500).
The national Capital secured the third rank in region-wise result with Trivandrum and Chennai topping the tally.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Deputy Manish Sisodia, who also hold Education portfolio, took to Twitter to congratulate the students on their performance. “Best of wishes to all students who got their CBSE 12th results today. Can’t wait to interact with you, the next batch in Delhi’s colleges! last year Delhi Govt schools had 2 per cent better result than private schools, this year it is 9 per cent better!,” Sisodia said in a series of tweets.
Even as many successful students rejoiced, experts advised caution for those who may not have done well.
Dr (Brigadier) S Sudersanan, Senior Consultant, Psychiatry, BlK Super Speciality Hospital, said, “CBSE results carry enormous burden of unreasonable social expectations and often it may cause unjustifiable anxiety among parents and children. This is the single most factor one should watch out for. Good and bad results can send us into a tizzy-deal with it through self-confidence.”
“Parents are strictly advised to avoid browsing through social media themselves and prevent children from spending time for at least two days. Also counselling not consoling is the way forward. Engage with children—sit with them and talk it out; this is not the end of the world and tell them that one failure could instead be converted into an opportunity,” the doctor added.
