Intermediate second year results yet again reflected the poor performance of Telangana districts with two of them figuring at the bottom and the remaining except Ranga Reddy district securing results below the State average of 66 per cent.
Adilabad and Medak recorded a low pass percentage of 49 while Krishna district topped the State with 82 per cent passes. Ranga Reddy district with 73 per cent passes topped in Telangana.
But much to the surprise of officials, performance of Seemandhra districts was much better as eight out of the 13 districts crossed the State average. Since schools and colleges in Seemandhra were affected by the bifurcation, officials expected that the agitation would affect the results.
The results declared on Saturday revealed that the pass percentage increased marginally this year with 65.57 passes compared to 65.36 per cent last year. Out of the 8,01,419 students who appeared for the exams, 5,25,526 have passed. Pass percentage in government colleges stood at 65.
Students can collect marks memos from respective colleges from May 7. Any discrepancies in marks can be brought to the notice of the principals by June 1. Those who wish to apply for recounting have to pay Rs. 100 per subject while they have to pay Rs. 600 for photo copy-cum-re-verification of answer book.
The last date for this is May 9. The advanced supplementary exams will be held from May 25.
The evaluation of answer scripts of advanced supplementary exams will be separate for both Telangana and Seemandhra, said the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) secretary, Rama Sankar Naik. The A.P.
