Bihar Board likely to announce Class 10 results today

Class 10 students of Bihar have been keeping their finger crossed as the BSEB (Bihar School Education Board) is expected to announce the exam results today. The Class 10 exams happened in the state in the first week of March this year.

The sources say that the results would be released today. Around 15 lakh students had appeared for the Class 10 exam this year.

The Board is hoping to see higher passing percentage compared to the previous two years. In 2016, the results were declared on May 29 (Sunday) and the passing percentage was just 28 compared to 75.17 in 2015. Such a sharp dip had left the Board in an utter shock. “The results are not as expected. But, this result shows the actual merit of our students. Those who have passed will be able to clear national level competitive exams as against those who used to pass because of cheating or other unfair means,” the then education minister Ashok Choudhary said. After a photo of mass cheating during exams surfaced in the social media in 2015, the education authorities had installed CCTV cameras and set up security personnel at the exam centres in 2016.

Controversies In the State:

The state of Bihar had faced a number of controversies of exams cleared through unfair means. The result of Class 12 board exam (held between February 14 and February 25) was announced with only 30.11 students clearing the exams. Only 37.1 per cent students in Arts cleared the exam and 73.76 in Commerce which was better than the former. Ganesh Kumar (Arts) had scored 82.6 per cent. However, it was brought to light that Kumar had lied about his age to the authorities and knew nothing about the subject he had taken in the exam. Similarly, in 2015, the topper of Class 12 Ruby Rai could not pronounce Political Science and said that the subject had something to do with cooking.
