66.8 pc students clear HSC exams in Orissa

Against a record pass percentage of 71.74 last year, only 66.75 per cent of students passed the annual High School Certificate (HSC) examinations results of which were announced on Saturday. The government school students recorded a dismal show as more than 56 per cent students failed in the examinations.
The state government, however, indicated that it would look into such poor performances of students studying in government, aided and bulk-grant schools, which are directly under the department of school and mass education.
We will look into this. The results this year are not satisfactory, said school and mass education minister Pratap Jena, when asked about the reasons why the government school students are not doing well in comparison to their counterparts in private schools.
However, the silver lining of the results was the individual performance of this year's topper Sarthak Pradhan of Saraswati Vidya Mandir, Balangir, who secured 97.66 per cent marks, an all-time record in the history of the HSC (matriculation) examinations.
A total of 4,15,037 students appeared at this year's examinations in the regular stream, of which 54,464 passed in first division, 76,902 passed in second division and 14,2354 in third division.
Similarly, 49,252 students wrote the papers in the ex-regular stream, of which 17,423 passed recording a pass percentage of a mere 37.45.
More than 56 per cent students had passed in this stream last year. The results of students studying in correspondence course were also declared on the day.
Unlike most other examinations in the country, the boys in the HSC examinations are consistently doing better than the girl students. While 68.75 per cent boys passed the examinations in the regular stream, the pass percentage among girls was a little less at 64.73. The same pattern was also seen in the other streams.
The results this year also showed another dismal statistics when it was learnt that as many as 7,030 students were booked for malpractices and results of 789 students were withheld for various reasons.Board of Secondary Education president Satyakam Mishra informed that while only 274 schools showed 100 per cent results (439 schools last year), as many as 193 schools showed 'nil' results. Only 43 schools had registered 'nil' result last year.
District-wise analysis of the results revealed that while the students of Dhenkanal have registered the highest pass percentage (79.55), the tribal district Kandhamal recorded the lowest pass percentage of 49.19.
