Meanwhile, 13 students featured in the top ranks of the Arts stream, and seven students secured positions in the Commerce stream's top five ranks.

A total of nearly 13.17 lakh students appeared for the examination this year, conducted across 1,762 centres between February 2 and February 13.

Of these, around 6.75 lakh were female students and 6.42 lakh were male students.

The BSEB had completed the verification process of toppers nearly five days before announcing the results.

Notably, this marks the eighth consecutive year that BSEB has released intermediate results ahead of other boards in the country, continuing its record of timely declarations.

BSEB Chairman Anand Kishor attributed this achievement to ongoing reforms in the examination system and the integration of technology in the evaluation process, which have enabled faster and more accurate result processing.
