Dharamsala, July 5
Over 99 per cent of students passed the Class X exam, the result of which was declared by the Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education (HPBSE) today.
A press release issued by HPBSE chairman SK Soni said 99.7 per cent of 1,16,784 students — 88,556 from government schools and 28,228 from private schools — passed the exam.
This comes after the board cancelled the exams this year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, and instead used internal assessment to promote students to the next class. Students could appear for only one exam — Hindi — in person before the state government cancelled the rest.
