The students of two educational institutions- Delhi Public School (DPS), Bokaro and Pentecostal Assembly School- have performed exemplary well. Of the three top rankers, one is of DPS and two belong to Pentecostal.

The CBSE 12th results have been prepared in an alternative way as board exams could not be held this year due to a surge in Covid-19 cases. The board had adopted an alternative assessment scheme to finalise the result.
