DK tops state in SSLC results, but no rank holders
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada topped the state in the SSLC-1 exam results announced on Friday, with an overall pass percentage of 91.1%.
Govinda Madivala, DDPI, Dakshina Kannada, shared that a total of 27,796 candidates, including 14,285 boys and 13,511 girls, appeared for the exam. Among them, 12,441 boys and 12,885 girls passed. A total 1,844 boys and 1,070 girls did not clear exam-1. All subjects saw above 90% pass results, and the girls' pass percentage is impressive, with 95% and above in all six subjects.
"Dakshina Kannada showed remarkable improvement in the SSLC results from past years, moving from 21st position in 2022, and jumping to 17th position in 2023, and second position in 2024 among the 35 districts in the state. We will further try to maintain the top rank in the coming academic years," he said.
Meanwhile, despite the district securing the top slot, not figuring in the rank merit list has caused disappointment. "During the preliminary checking, many of the students did not receive marks as they had predicted. Our overall pass percentage should have gone to at least 94%," said a high school teacher.
A head of a private school shared that one of the students scored 95 and above, and 100 marks in two subjects, but failed in mathematics by securing just 12 marks. "A student who excelled in education all through this year managed to score 12 marks in mathematics while achieving 95 marks and above in other subjects. How can it be possible?" questioned the school head.
The schools also pointed out that many students were disappointed with their marks, and are planning to apply for revaluation. As per the details provided by the education department, a total seven candidates scored 624 out of 625. Srujanadithya Sheela K, a student of Govt Junior College, Sullia, topped the district.
