Today, Friday, May 11, the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) announced the results of the SSC examinations, and it was noted that 82.56 per cent of students passed the exam.
This year's pass rate was an amazing 82.56 per cent, up almost 18 percentage points from last year's 64.62, stated a report by IANS.
Despite the overall positive trends, the board identified trends concerning malpractice, capturing 138 students in the act and recording over 400 such cases using CCTV footage.
The considerable improvement in results has increased the number of schools earning a 100 per cent pass rate, with 1,389 schools doing so compared to only 272 in 2023 and 292 in 2022.
On the contrary, the number of schools with lower than thirty per cent results has reduced significantly, with only 264 this year compared to 1,084 in 2023. Students who took the Class X Board exams can access their results at gseb.org.
