CBSE results 2017 for Class 12 have finally been declared around 10:15am, ending a week of speculation around the date and time the CBSE 12th results will released on CBSE.nic.in and other sites. Predictably, students, parents, and teachers alike will be trying to log on to the three official sites where the public can get the CBSE Class 12 results 2017. Unfortunately, the official CBSE.nic.in and other sites  are slow to load due to heavy traffic from everyone trying to get their scores as early as possible.

Raksha Gopal of Amity International School, Noida emerged the board topper with 99.6 percent marks in her CBSE 12th exams. Bhumi Sawant De of DAV Chandigarh with 99.4 percent, and Aditya Jain of Bhawan Vidyalaya with 99.2 percent were next in the pecking order. The overall pass percentage has declined slightly from 83.05 percent last year to 82 percent in 2017. If you are also waiting for the CBSE Class 12 results 2017 too, here are a few tips to check your scores online.

   The CBSE Class 12 results 2017 had been delayed because of uncertainty over the marks moderation policy. The CBSE had struck down the moderation policy for this year, but was then directed by the Delhi High Court to continue with it for at least this year. The start of Class 12 CBSE exams too had been delayed, from March 1 to March 9, due to assembly elections in five states.
