The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared the Class 12 results on Wednesday, with the Gurgaon region recording an overall pass percentage of 88.4%. Out of 94,255 students who appeared for the examinations across 12 districts—including Gurgaon, Faridabad, Palwal, and Sonipat—82,979 successfully cleared the exams.
Gurgaon Regional Office Established in 2025
The Gurgaon regional office was established in 2025 after southern districts were separated from the Panchkula regional office. Across Haryana, a total of 1,55,150 students appeared for the exams, of which 1,34,488 passed, resulting in a state-level pass percentage of 86.6%. This marks a decline from the 91% pass rate recorded in 2025.
Girls Outperform Boys
In the Gurgaon region, girls outperformed boys significantly. Among the 40,530 girls who appeared, 37,232 passed, achieving a pass percentage of 91.8%. In comparison, 45,747 out of 53,285 boys cleared the exams, recording a pass percentage of 85.8%. At the state level, 60,867 of the 67,293 girls who appeared passed, with a pass percentage of 90.4%, down from 94.7% in 2025. Among boys, 73,621 of the 87,138 who appeared cleared the exams, achieving a pass percentage of 84.4%, compared to 88.5% in the previous year.
Educationists Comment on Evaluation Standards
Educationists attributed the drop in pass percentage to stricter and more transparent evaluation standards. A teacher from a private school in the city remarked, “While the numbers are lower, such reforms ultimately strengthen academic credibility and encourage students to focus on conceptual understanding rather than rote learning.”

Naysa achieved perfect scores in biology, chemistry, and psychology, along with 99 in English and 97 in physical education.

In the children with special needs category, 273 students appeared from the Gurgaon region. Among them, Harsh, a humanities student from Amity International School Sector 46, scored 86% despite having dyslexia—a learning disability identified after he failed Class 11.

His mother Kavita is a homemaker, and his father Lalit works as a transport in-charge at a school.
