Kerala SSLC Results Decline Marginally Amid New Curriculum Changes

The Kerala SSLC exam results showcase a minor drop in pass percentage to 99.07%. With 414,290 students appearing, 410,456 qualified for higher studies. A+ achievers dropped significantly. Pathanamthitta district led with a 99.72% pass rate. Officials cite a new curriculum as a potential reason for the decline.

On Friday, the Kerala SSLC examination results were announced, revealing a slight decrease in the overall pass percentage from 99.50% last year to 99.07% this year.

Principal Secretary Sharmila Mary Joseph and Director N S K Umesh disclosed these findings at a press conference, highlighting that out of 414,290 students, 410,456 moved forward to higher secondary education.
