CBSE Class 10th Results 2019: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared the Class 10 results this afternoon, registering an All India Pass Percentage of 91.10%. While the national pass percent is optimally up by 4.4% from last year’s 86.70%, another remarkable highlight of today’s results is the pass percentage of Children With Special Needs (CWSN) and Transgender students. Crossing the national average of 91.10%, the CWSN aka differently-abled students achieved a pass percentage of 95.99% while transgender students registered a pass percentage of 94.74%. Dilwin Prince from the CWSN category bagged the top spot by scoring 493 out of 500 marks. Savan Vishoy and Irene Tresa Mathews followed closely at spot 2 and 3 respectively with 492/500 and 491/500 marks. All three toppers are from the top region of the country – Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. A total of 5352 students had registered under the CWSN category this year. 5233 differently-abled students appeared for the CBSE Class 10th Exams 2019, out of which, 5023 CWSN students were declared pass today. These Children With Special Needs (CWSN) have achieved a pass percentage of 95.99% in 2019, improving year on year with 92.55% in 2018 from 89.40% in 2017. 48 more CWSN students have scored 95% and above marks, while a total of 275 obtained 90% and above.

Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” In a new feat, the Transgender students have turned around the numbers completely as compared to the last year. Improving by a staggering 11.41% from 83.33% in 2018 to 94.74% in 2019, the transgender students have surpassed girls this year, who’ve outshone boys on the other hand. While girls students have recorded a pass percentage of 92.45%, boys trailed behind at 90.14%. Back in the year 2016, not even a single student had registered as Transgender for CBSE Class 10th Exams. Here’s a look at the pass percentages of Transgender students in the past three years:
