Why CBSE Does Not Release a Topper List Anymore?

Students look for the topper list of CBSE 12th standard 2026. To avoid unhealthy pressure on students, CBSE discontinued the official merit list release after 2020. Students who achieve a score in the top 0.1% of their region in each subject are awarded a merit certificate by the board. This is the only official recognition now. The toppers of each region are shared via school communication, not on the official website of CBSE.
