CBSE 2026 Exam Data Shows Fewer Perfect Scores in Regional Languages Compared to Electives

CBSE's 2026 Class 12 exam statistics reveal a significant disparity in perfect scores between regional language subjects and mainstream electives. Subjects like Marathi, Manipuri, and French had very few students scoring full marks, with Marathi recording only one perfect scorer. In contrast, vocational and commercial electives saw higher numbers of top scorers. Punjabi and Malayalam performed relatively well among regional languages, highlighting shifting student preferences toward elective subjects with practical or commercial relevance.
