In itself, result day is a bit of a bombshell for many students, but the CBSE doesn&rsquo;t believe in softening the blow.

Again this year, the Central Board of Secondary Education announced the Std X results for the Chennai region under which Maharashtra falls without any prior intimation.
Students as well as schools were surprised with the abrupt announcement last evening. &ldquo;Usually, at least schools are informed a day in advance, but this year there was no such intimation.
The good thing is that like every year, Chennai region has announced the results before other regions,&rdquo; said Avnita Bir, principal of R N Podar High School in Santacruz. This is the first year that the CBSE Std X mark sheets reflect Problem Solving Assessment (PSA).
Divided into qualitative reasoning, quantitative reasoning and language convention, the PSA exam is not based on a specific subject, but rather focuses on testing the students&rsquo; problem solving skills. &ldquo;Students found PSA very tough, and we were expecting scores to go down.
But our students have done really well. The number of students who have scored a CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) of 10 has gone up this year compared to last,&rdquo; said Bir.
The school topper, Asutos Mohapatra, has scored 97.6%. At Kendriya Vidyalaya in Powai, some 44 students scored a perfect 10 CGPA, and school topper, Vidyank Momaya, scored 98.6%.
&ldquo;We have a number of students who have scored full marks in subjects like Mathematics as well as the languages. This batch has done extremely well,&rdquo; said Principal N D Joshi. At Rajhans Vidyalaya in Andheri (West), 35 out of 126 students got 10 CGPA, whereas 55 got the A1 grade. Their topper, Nihar Rajapurkar, scored 96.2%.
