Bengaluru South, which has a high number of elite private schools and has been placed in the ‘A’ grade every year, has fallen to the ‘B’ grade in this year’s SSLC results.
Among the 34 educational districts, only two districts — Bengaluru South and Yadgir — are in the ‘B’ grade. There is no district in the ‘C’ grade this year.
The Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB) has analysed and categorised educational district grades on the basis of the pass percentage of fresh students. The qualitative weightage percentage is a result of 40% of pass percentage added to 20% of the percentage of students who secured 60% and above along with 40% of the total average marks secured.
