Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday congratulated the students for clearing their Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) exams this year and said that success and failure are part of life.

“CBSE exam results are out. I congratulate those who have passed the exams. It’s important that you realize your potential, capabilities and choose your path based on that. For those who couldn’t pass, I say success and failure are part of life, you must not let go of this failure, must learn from it,” Prime Minister Modi said while addressing the nation in his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme.

The CBSE had on Monday declared the results for Class 12 examinations.

The girl students outperformed the boys by a margin of around 10 percent.
