The pass percentage of SSLC annual exam-1, results of which were announced on Thursday, declined by 10.49 points compared to last year. The overall pass percentage stood at 73.4 this year compared to 83.89 in 2022-23.
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) officials attributed this to the new monitoring system of webcasting through CCTV in all examination centres.
Officials said the actual result had declined by 30% this year, which is why the State government decided to enhance the normalisation of scores in the interest of students as webcasting was a new intervention.
