About 73.15 percent students passed the matric (secondary) examination in Jharkhand this year, an official said Tuesday.

This year, boys performed better than girls. Around 75.32 percent boys and 70.84 girls passed the examination. Last year 67.35 percent students passed the exam.
The maximum number of students who passed are from Jharkhand's Hazaribagh district, with 79.55 percent.
