The lowest pass percentage, he added, was recorded in 2001 with only 21 per cent students clearing the exam. The results in the last few years, he said, had improved to a great extent. “The result is quite encouraging. I thank all the stakeholders who have made this possible”, the education minister said. Kirankumar Singh, chairman of BOSEM, said the board did not expect such a high pass percentage. “We were quite apprehensive that this time, the pass percentage may decline as the vigilance during the exams was stricter. We have not only cancelled all the private examinations centres but evaluation of marks was also conducted under video surveillance," he said.
