The Std. X board exam results were announced by the Department of Government Examinations on Friday. The total pass percentage this year is 89 per cent. What is pleasantly suprising is the number of centums scored.

The number of centums is 559 per cent more than last year. The maximum centums were scored in Maths, Science and Social Science. There were 29905 centums in Mathematics this year compared to 1141 last year. Science centums were 38154 in number compared to 9237 last year.

‘The Maths paper was very easy this time. Most of the questions were along expected lines and there were no altered values to problems’, said a student who scored a perfect mark. ‘The lack of a ‘guide’ to what could be expected in the exams was what really helped students towards top scores’, said a Maths teacher.
