Like the previous year, CBSE has not announced the merit list of students to avoid unhealthy competition among the students. Similarly, the board has not awarded first, second or third divisions to the students.
In Class X, as many as 63035 candidates including 31206 boys and 31829 girls from schools in Kerala appeared for the exam. Out of them 62978 candidates – 31162 boys and 31816 girls passed the exam.

Last year, the results were announced in July only and the delay was a concern for the students, especially Class X, as they feared they could not apply for Plus One admission in state schools. CBSE has earlier assured completion of the examinations and declaration of results on time for the 2022-23 academic year.
The CBSE will conduct the supplementary examinations (which was earlier called compartment examination) in July and the dates will be announced later. The board also confirmed that the final examinations for Class X and XII for the upcoming academic year are from February 15, 2024.
