CBSE has stated that no overall division, distinction, or aggregate shall be awarded to students.
Additionally, if a candidate has taken more than five subjects, the decision to determine the best five subjects may be made by the institution or employer.
The CBSE also stated that it does not calculate, declare, or inform the percentage obtained by students. If there is a need for percentage information, for purposes of higher education or employment, the institution or employer may carry out the necessary calculations based on the individual's performance.
