An estimated 9,500 grade 10 students were enrolled in some 78 CBSE-affiliated schools in the UAE for the last academic year.
Schools were busy collating their results at noon today before they could share them with Gulf News.
Delhi Private School (DPS) Dubai said its school topper was Nitin Kumar Ramachandran, who had scored 98.8 per cent.
Nitin said: “I am extremely happy to have got such great marks. Despite having confidence in myself, I was under great pressure this year, especially considering the ongoing pandemic. I would like to sincerely thank my teachers, my parents and finally -- thank God!”
Rashmi Nandkeolyar, principal and director, DPS Dubai, said: “We are thrilled that our students have performed brilliantly! The robustness of our school’s bench strength is our hallmark.
