The overall pass percentage in the Class X state board exams in Tamil Nadu touched 95.2% this year, slightly better than last year’s 94.5% and as usual girls fared better than boys. A record 97% girls cleared the exam while 93.3% boys passed.
Of 12,548 schools, nearly half — 6,100 schools — registered 100% pass. More students cleared science subjects
(98.56%) and 96.46% students cleared maths, which was termed as the toughest exam in recent years. Tirupur district registered the highest pass percentage with 98.53% rate followed by Ramanathapuram, 98.48%, and Namakkal, 98.45%.
Headmasters said the number of those scoring centum in science and maths had come down because of the creative questions. “Students who were able to think and answer creatively alone were able to score 100 out of 100,” said G J Manohar, headmaster, Madras Christian College Higher Secondary School, Chennai.
Students can apply for retotalling from May 2
Many students said the five marks section in science was also tough this year. “We have designed the question paper in a way to make it tough to score the centum. Students have to read the entire book and have to understand the concepts to score full marks,” said D.Vasundradevi, director of government examinations.
The matriculation schools registered highest pass percentage with 99%. Government schools saw 92.48% pass percentage, while aided schools registered 94.53%.
Students can download the provisional marksheets through their schools from May 2. From May 6, they can download the marksheets on their own by registering their date of birth and registration number.
Candidates can apply for retotalling from May 2 to 4 through their schools. The fee for retotalling for English and language is ₹305 each and for other subjects, it is ₹205 each.
