Nearly two million teenagers had been waiting anxiously for months to find out if they passed. The results showed that 68.45 percent of students managed to clear the exams. Female students slightly outnumbered male students among the nearly 1.9 million who took the tests.
The pass rate took a massive hit compared to last year when 83.04 percent of students succeeded. Education officials confirmed that 11 different boards reported the lower numbers.
