Pass rate sees slight dip over last year result: RKS director
Rajya Shikhsa Kendra, director, Dhanraju S while speaking to Free Press said the overall pass percentage of Class 5 and Class 8 has slightly declined in comparison to previous year. While class 8 has seen a drop of 6%, the pass rate of class 5 has seen a drop of 8%, said the official. The reasons for the fall in result may be many but primarily it looks that private schools were not mentally prepared for the board pattern exams, he further added.
