Amritsar, July 16

Rikita Babbar from Pathseekers School, Dera Baba Jaimal Singh, Beas, is the district topper with 98.80 per cent marks in the Class X results announced by the Central Board of Secondary Education on Wednesday.

Rikita is followed by Lovejotpreet Singh, from Guru Nanak Dev Global Academy, Chananke village, near Mehta, who secured 98.60 per cent marks. In Tarn Taran district, Perneet Kaur from Mata Gujri Convent School, Sarhali Kalan, was the topper with 97 per cent marks.

CBSE Class X results this year also followed the format of Class XII results, by evaluating results according to the previous assessment and declared no merit list, given the special circumstances due to Covid-19 pandemic. But since the CGPA system of evaluation to bring out transparency has not been in practice for the past two years, schools are left to interpret the evaluation of the final result of a student, by themselves.
