Take a look at the complete list of toppers below:  This year  CBSE had been at the centre of the paper-leak controversy as the question paper of class 10 math exam and class 12 economic exam were circulated in different Whatsapp groups hours before the examination. CBSE had to re-conduct these two examinations, leading to widespread anxiety and stress among students. The class 12 exam was supposed to end on April 13 with the last Physical Education paper but it was extended to April 27 as a re-examination was ordered for economics. As many as 11,86,306 students had registered for the class 12 exams which were held in more than 4000 centres in both India and abroad.

A message for students: The most important thing we want you to remember is that, if result goes your way, then it’s extremely good, but if things don’t go your way, remember, there are always options open to you. Sometimes, the best opportunities come out of life’s unexpected twists and turns. If you did as well as you wanted, then celebrate. If you feel you could have done much better, there are many ways to improve your performance. Remember, your results do not define who you are or how valuable you are as a person. They are a marker of one day’s performance in your life. Stay calm. Remember that while your exam results are important, you always have additional options. You might be able to retake the exam. So, keep yourself motivated.
