The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has clarified that no Class 10 toppers list will be published this year along with the CBSE result. For the past three years, CBSE has refrained from announcing toppers to discourage unhealthy competition. But, many schools still publish their topper lists with the names of students who achieved full marks. The CBSE Class 10 results have been announced on May 13, 2025. Students can check their CBSE 10th results on the official websites: cbse.gov.in, results.cbse.nic.in.

CBSE has confirmed in 2022 that it will not release a merit list or announce individual toppers for the Class 10 board examinations. This decision aligns with the board's ongoing policy to discourage unhealthy competition among students and to promote a more holistic educational environment.
Instead of publishing a list of top performers, CBSE provides overall performance statistics, including pass percentages and subject-wise performance data. Students must secure a minimum of 33% marks in each subject and overall to pass the CBSE 10th examination.
This year, Trivandrum and Vijaywada recorded the highest overall pass percentage at 99.79%, while Guwahati had the lowest at 84.14%. The district-wise pass percentages for this year are tabulated below.

The CBSE Class 10 merit list is not officially released by the board. Since 2020, the board has stopped publishing CBSE 10th merit lists and individual topper names. This decision was made to discourage unhealthy competition among students and promote a more inclusive and stress-free academic environment.
Although the topper list is not released, CBSE provides:
Overall pass percentage
Region-wise and gender-wise performance data
Subject-wise statistics
Information on students scoring above 90% and 95%
While the official CBSE board websites, cbse.gov.in and results.cbse.nic.in, are the primary sources for results, many individual schools also release their CBSE 10th topper lists. These CBSE 10th topper lists often highlight students who have achieved full marks in particular subjects or scored above 95% or 90% overall. Some media outlets may highlight high scorers based on school reports.
