The Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education declared Class 12 results on Saturday. The pass percentage is 92.66 per cent—16,783 of the 18,112 students who took the examination passed it. The pass percentage for boys is 90.66 and for girls, it is 94.58.

Last year, when the board could not conduct the Class 12 examination amid Covid-related restrictions and results were declared based on internal assessment, the pass percentage was 99.40 per cent. In 2020, it was 89.27 per cent.

Board chairman Bhagirath Shetye said a special assessment scheme was adopted in the 2021-2022 academic year to “deal with the school closures and challenges of conducting exams due to the spread of the pandemic”. The scheme included two board examinations, first in December-January and the second in April 2022. The first-term exam was based on half of the syllabus while the second-term exam was based on both the other half and internal assessment. A common mark sheet was issued for both terms.

The stream-wise break-up of the results is: arts 95.68 per cent, commerce 95.71 per cent, science 93.95 per cent and the vocational stream 79.04 per. The pass percentage of students in the general, OBC, SC and ST categories was 93.03 per cent, 92.35 per cent, 90.53 per cent and 91.26 per cent respectively.

Four instances of malpractices—writing on hall tickets, a chit with 50 mathematics formulae, using Google to find answers, carrying a cell phone to the exam hall and using a black ink pen that is used by moderators—were recorded during the exam.

Shetye said that the last incident was found to be an innocent mistake and no action was taken against the student. In the other cases, a penalty of Rs 1,000 was levied on the students and they were given zero mark in the second term with the remark “malpractice case”.
