ICSE, ISC results: State students achieve 99% pass
Chennai: The question papers this year were tougher, but students from Tamil Nadu achieved near 100% results in both the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) and Indian School Certificate (ISC) exams, the results of which were declared on Wednesday.
According to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), of 3,052 students who appeared for the ISC (Class XII) exams from the state, 3,051 cleared the exam, resulting in a pass percentage of 99.9%. Of the 1,646 boys who appeared for the exam, one was unsuccessful, while all the girls cleared the exam.
In the ICSE (Class X) exam, of the 6,174 students who appeared, 6,171 cleared the exam, with a pass percentage of 99.95%. In this exam too, girls achieved a 100% pass rate.
Teachers said both ICSE and ISC exams this year were challenging due to more application-oriented questions in the exam. Some said there were no frequently asked questions this year. "The multiple-choice questions were particularly tough as they asked case studies and application-oriented questions," a teeacher of an ICSE school said.

"Increasing the difficulty level is a welcome change. But it has brought down the number of centum scorers this year," said S Sujatha, principal of Vels International School at Injambakkam. "Despite the question papers being so challenging, the marks were not disappointing. Three students got 99 marks in chemistry and 99 marks in computer science from our school," she added.
Last year, students who appeared for the Class XII exam from the school scored full marks in subjects such as biology and psychology.
Ganesh P from Primrose Schools said that the questions were tricky compared to the previous year. "The council announced that it would increase the difficulty level well in advance. So, we trained our teachers and students," he said.
