According to a source, the Department of School Education & Literacy, has released an in-depth analysis of the 2023 Secondary and Higher Secondary Board Examinations. This report offers a comprehensive overview of student performance across the nation.
A total of 59 boards participated, including three national and 56 state-level boards. Out of these, 41 boards cater to both secondary and higher secondary levels, while nine are standalone boards for either level. Six state boards, including Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, and Tamil Nadu, still adhere to independent syllabi, rather than the national NCERT curriculum. Karnataka, in a major reform, merged its SSLC (Secondary School Leaving Certificate) Board with the PU (Pre-University) Board, streamlining its education structure.
The exam duration varied greatly across states, with Class 10 exams lasting between 8 days (Bihar) and 34 days (CBSE). For Class 12, durations ranged from 10 days (Bihar) to 63 days (Punjab), reflecting the diverse educational practices in different regions.
In terms of performance, the Secondary Board exams recorded 18.5 million students, achieving an overall national pass rate of 84.9%. Hindi medium students performed the best, with an 85.8% pass rate, while English medium students followed at 84.2%. Similarly, the Higher Secondary Board exams recorded 15.5 million students, achieving a pass rate of 82.5%.
For regular students, 190.8 lakh were registered, with 157.3 lakh passing the exams, reflecting a success rate of 84.9%. Open board students showed lower success rates, with 4.2 lakh registered and a pass rate of 49.6%.
The findings highlight the resilience of India’s education system and its ability to handle large-scale examinations while maintaining consistent student performance across various mediums and boards. These results underscore the adaptability of students and institutions in ensuring high academic standards across the country.
