In her class 12 exam results, she scored 100 each in Economics, Political science and Psychology; 99 in Music and 95 in English. Sanya is differently-abled as she has damaged optic nerves since birth and can't see. She is also a very good singer.


Earlier speaking to DNA after her Class 10 results in 2018, she had said, "I am so happy to know the result, as it was above my expectation. I want to pursue humanities and sit for civic services exam in the future," said Sanya. She did her schooling from Uttam School for Girls, Shastri Nagar in Ghaziabad and had scored 489 out of 500. She would study on her computer with audiobooks.


The CBSE results for Class 12th was declared at the official websites- results.nic.in, cbseresults.nic.in and cbse.nic.in. A total of 10.59 lakh (10,59,080) students managed to pass the CBSE class 12 exam in 2020, with a pass percentage of 88.78 per cent.


In 2019, the pass percentage was 83.40 per cent. The girls have outperformed boys with 92.15 per cent, while the pass percentage of boys was 86.19 per cent. The pass percentage of transgender students is 66.67 per cent.


The CBSE will not issue any merit list this year. Earlier, CISCE had also announced that it will not announce topper's list for ISC and ICSE exams. "Coming up with a merit list makes no sense as the results are being calculated on the basis of an evaluation method due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic," a senior board official had stated earlier.


Besides websites, students can check their results via IVRS telephone numbers and mobile apps. The schools will also get the results of their students on the registered Email IDs.


CBSE will also provide results through IVRS (interactive voice response system) too. Telephone numbers have been provided by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) on the day of result and the students can use these numbers to know their marks. In 2019, a separate telephone number was provided by NIC for local subscribers in Delhi and another number for rest of the subscribers in the country.


CBSE has also released Class 12th result on various other apps, including Microsoft SMS organiser app, DigiLocker, Umang app and Digiresults app. The results is also available on UMANG Mobile Platform which is available for android, iOS and Windows-based Smart Phones.
