The overall pass percentage of students who took the State Board Class XII (HSC) examinations this year has gone up to 84.4 per cent. An increase of 3.4 percentage points from last year’s 81 per cent, this is the highest pass percentage recorded in the State since 2003.
Declaring the results here on Friday, Director of Government Examinations Vasanthi Jeevanandam said 87.3 per cent of the girls had passed, while boys recorded a pass percentage of 81.3.
A total of 5,87,994, students appeared for the Class XII examinations this year in schools across the State.
School Education Minister Thangam Thennarasu told The Hindu that he was very happy with the results. “We have had a series of subject-wise review meetings since the time quarterly examinations got over. Teachers have been focussing on students who did not perform too well in those examinations and have helped them score high.”
