Allahabad:
Over 90 percent of the girls who took the Uttar Pradesh state
board's Class 12 exams passed as compared to 70 percent of the
boys, an official said Monday.
"Once again girls took the lead. The pass percentage of girls
stood at 90.76, while that of boys was 70.53 percent," director of
Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad Sanjay Mohan told
reporters in Allahabad, 200 km from Lucknow.
According to officials, this year over 19 lakh students appeared
in the Class 12 exams out of which over 15 lakh passed.
Though no official merit list is released by the Uttar Pradesh
board, sources said Gyan Prakash Verma, a student from S.S. Higher
Secondary School in Barabanki district topped the exam with 94
percent.
A few years ago, the board officials decided to scrap the merit
list, saying it created unhealthy competition among students.
The Class 12 exams were held March 17-21.
