With seven of its schools among India's best 20, Tamil Nadu tops the list of states going by the best overall aggregates in class XII CBSE exams in 2015. The data, exclusively available with TOI, also reveals that Bengaluru houses five schools among the top 20.

And it's not that private schools are the only ones coming out with flying colours. Two central government-run Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas also feature in this year's list of top 20.

And not just Tamil Nadu or Bengaluru, the entire south has put up a stellar performance. As was reflected in the class XII 2015 results where the top two regions in terms of pass percentage for the second consecutive year were Thiruvananthapuram and Chennai, 15 schools among the top 20 with best aggregates are from the southern states.Apart from Chennai and Bengaluru, two schools from Kerala and one from Andhra Pradesh has made it to the list too.
