Ajmer region that cover Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Dadar and Nagar Haveli, has a steep fall in the passing percentage from 97.73 percent to 91.86 percent. This fall of 5.87 percent was unexpected for schools and a definite shock to many, who had been celebrating having 100 percent passing percentage for decades.
In comparison with other regions, Ajmer region has performed a little above average. The biggest fall is seen in Dehradun region with a fall of 17.69 percent. Dehradun region covers Uttrakhand and Western Uttar Pradesh i.e. Badaun, Baghpat, Bijnour, Bulandshahr, GautamBudh Nagar(Noida), Ghaziabad, Hapur, J.P.Nagar/Amroha, Meerut, Moradabad, Muzaffarnagar, Rampur, Saharanpur, Sambhal and Shamli.
The only region that did not record a downfall in the passing percentage is Delhi. It recorded an improvement in passing percentage of 0.49 percent.
When analysed on gender basis, the passing percentage of boys is much lower than girls. In comparison with previous academic session, performance of boys has fallen much more than girls.
The passing percentage of girls fell from 92.55 percent to 88.67 percent. This recorded a downfall of 3.88 percent in girls overall.
The passing percentage of boys fell from 93.51 percent to 85.32 percent. This recorded a downfall of 8.19 percent in boys overall.
In Ajmer region, girls passing percentage fell from 98.38 percent to 94.62 percent recording 3.76 percent fall. Passing percentage of boys in the region fell from 97.33 percent to 90.07 percent, recording a fall of 7.26 percent.
The possible reason for this fall in percentage is return of board exams after eight years of optional boards. The board had made attempting board exams for class X mandatory for students and was re-introduced in 2018 academic session.
The dual scheme of examination for Class X known as Scheme-I and Scheme-II was discontinued for the students, which had made class X board quite easy for students with the option of school examination.
