At 51% pass percentage in the Intermediate-II year examinations held in March, the figure is not only concerning for the district, but the lowest in the past nine years.
A total of 13,176 candidates had appeared for the exam, and of them, only 6,778 have emerged successful.
The district stands at 20th place in the overall performance, while the performance of Intermediate-I year students is even lower.
The officials, however, pointed out that the district’s performance had, in the past too, hovered around 40% to 60%. In the last academic year (2017-18), the performance of Inter-II year students was the highest at 66% and the second best performance was in its preceding year with 62%.
And compared to Inter-I results in 2010-11 (35%), the results now are 9% better.
