The wider picture
The RBSE Class 8 results were announced on March 24, 2026, following a thorough evaluation process that took place after the examinations concluded on March 4. This year, a total of 12,86,220 students appeared for the Class 8 examination, which was conducted across 10,056 centres in Rajasthan.
In a positive development, 12,45,735 students successfully passed the Class 8 examination, resulting in an impressive pass percentage of 97.01%. This marks an improvement of 0.35% from the previous year’s results, indicating a steady upward trend in student performance.
When breaking down the results by gender, it was noted that boys achieved a pass percentage of 96.52%, while girls outperformed with a pass percentage of 97.57%. This data reflects ongoing efforts to enhance educational outcomes for all students in the state.
However, not all students met the passing criteria. A total of 38,276 students were placed in the supplementary category, meaning they did not secure the minimum required marks of 33% in each subject. These students will have the opportunity to re-examine in order to improve their scores.
For those unfamiliar with the grading system, a grade of ‘D’ or above is considered a pass for Class 8 students. This system aims to encourage students to strive for better academic performance while providing a clear benchmark for success.
In comparison, the Class 5 pass percentage was recorded at 97.75% in 2026, with 13,68,947 students appearing for the examination. The consistent performance across different grades suggests that the education system in Rajasthan is making strides in enhancing student learning outcomes.
As the education department reviews these results, officials are optimistic about the future. They believe that the improved pass percentages reflect the hard work of both students and educators. Observers anticipate that the focus will now shift towards supporting students in the supplementary category, ensuring they have the resources and guidance needed to succeed in their re-examinations.
Overall, the RBSE Class 8 results for 2026 highlight significant achievements in student performance, while also addressing the challenges faced by a portion of the student population. The ongoing commitment to educational improvement in Rajasthan is evident, and stakeholders are eager to see continued progress in the coming years.
