Decline in Pass Percentage for State's Secondary School Certificate Examination: 94.10%
The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) recently unveiled the class 10 Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination results, marking a 1.71% decrease compared to last year's pass percentage of 95.81%. In what's becoming a familiar narrative, the Konkan division dominated with the highest pass percentage, while Nagpur found itself at the bottom.
Did the boys give the girls a run for their money this year? Well, not quite. Girls persevered with 96.14% passing against the boys' 92.31%, maintaining a healthy gender gap in their favor.
This year's SSC exam unfolded between February 21 and March 17, with the board revealing the results earlier than ever before – giving class 11 admissions a head start. Last year, the SSC results were announced on May 27, the earliest since the board's inception in 1975. Traditionally, results would be declared in June.
Chairman of the board, Sharad Gosavi, was unfazed by the dip in pass percentage. According to him, yearly variations averaging 1.5 to 2 percentage points are common. No specific cause for this year's decline was pinpointed.
Gosavi emphasized that numerous reforms have been implemented to reduce stress during exams and improve efficiency. He highlighted their efforts to ensure timely class 11 admissions and efficient handling of supplementary exam results.
With the aim of curbing cheating, students were duly warned of the consequences of malpractices during the exams. Additional police support was employed to maintain a copy-free environment, and any exam center found involved in malpractices would lose its recognition.
Students seeking to re-evaluate their marks can do so via the board's portal - http://verification.mh-ssc.ac.in. Whether you're a student or a school, the option is available to apply online for re-evaluation.
The Konkan division's victory in the SSC examination extends to the realm of education-and-self-development, as they continue to set high standards for academic excellence in the region. Meanwhile, the cricket pitch remains silent, as the education sector's progression seemingly outpaces the rhythm of the sport.
