As reported by The Indian Express, this year saw 12,80,211 candidates appear for the exams across 1,677 centres. The overall pass percentage for 2025 stands at 86.56%, slightly lower than last year’s 87.21%, but significantly higher than the 83.73% recorded in 2023. Girls have once again outperformed boys.
