The CBSE 2025 board exam results for Class 10 and Class 12 will be released soon. But wait—will the topper list also be released?
Every year, after the results are declared, students and parents are naturally curious to know about the top positions and ranks. Isn’t it?
However, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) does not release an official list of toppers and division-wise marks of students.
For the 2025 session, CBSE Class 10 exams were held from February 15th to March 18th, while Class 12 exams took place from February 15th to April 04th.
Why CBSE Stopped Releasing the Toppers List
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has stopped releasing the topper lists. The board decided not to release the topper list for class 10th and 12th class board examinations due to unhealthy competition among students.
Instead of a topper list, the CBSE releases a merit certificate based on performance, overall result statistics, and subject-wise performance data.
In the past, CBSE released the topper list of students who had secured the highest marks in the board examinations. However, this led to increased competition and pressure among students to secure the first rank.
To maintain a positive and healthy academic environment, CBSE decided to discontinue releasing the topper list. The move aimed to reduce academic pressure and discourage unhealthy competition among students. The decision has been appreciated by many parents, teachers, and educators.
