This year, 11,38,877 students passed the SSC and equivalent examinations. The average pass rate is 62.25 percent.

In the nine general education boards, the pass rate this year is 64.05 percent, which is 3.99 percent lower than last year's 68.04 percent. A total of 1,07,982 more female students passed than male students, and 11,401 more female students received GPA-5. This year, the number of GPA-5 achievers is 1,06,009, which is 19,009 fewer than last year.

The number of institutions with zero pass rate has also increased—57 institutions in general education boards (last year 48), 226 in the madrasa board (last year 86), and 29 in the technical board (last year zero) had no student passing.

At one special examination center, 354 out of 402 examinees passed; there, two institutions had a 100 percent pass rate and one institution had a zero pass rate.
