At 51% pass percentage in the Intermediate-II year examinations held in March, the figure is not only concerning for the district, but the lowest in the past nine years.

The district stands at 20th place in the overall performance, while the performance of Intermediate-I year students is even lower.

And compared to Inter-I results in 2010-11 (35%), the results now are 9% better.
