Though the fresh academic session started in all the colleges 10 days ago, the Jammu and Kashmir State Board of School Education declared the results of the Class XII exam (private) in the Jammu division today.
Of the total 38,086 students, who appeared in the Class XII exam, 7,601 were declared pass while the remaining students either failed or got re-appear.
However, girls outshone boys with a pass percentage of 20.52. The pass percentage of boys was 16.39. Only one student got distinction while the overall pass percentage was 20, a senior official of the education board said.
Talking to The Tribune over the phone, Dr Javed Iqbal Khatib, joint secretary, Secrecy (Jammu division), of the education board, said the examination process had concluded on June 9 and the results were declared within 46 days.
“The pass percentage was similar to the last year,” Khatib said.
Asked about the topper’s name, he said, “We have not received the topper’s details. The students were desperate about the results to get admission to colleges and hence we declared the results today.”
MS Baloria, secretary of the education board and in-charge of the college admission committee, said, “Yes, the results have come a few days after the academic session started in the colleges, but these students need not worry as the university authorities will issue a fresh notification in this regard. All the students will be accommodated in various colleges.”
Asked whether these students would be able to get admission to all the courses, Baloria said, “They may face some difficulties.” However, he failed to give a satisfactory reply.
Another education board official said of 7,601 students, who passed the examination, 140 got the first division, 1,858 second and 5,368 students got the third division.
However, the results of 70 students, who were caught using unfair means during the exam, were withheld.
