Koppal, which showed impressive improvement over previous year by climbing 10 steps in the ranking ladder to reach 16th position in the PU examination, managed to maintain its top position in the region in SSLC examination as well by securing 11th position this year from 23rd position last year. However, its pass percentage slumped from 76.95% in the previous year to 76.05% this year.
