Like it has been happening for many years, girls have outdone the boys this year too. A total of 9,13,361 boys appeared for the examination out of which 6,42,033 passed, recording passing percentage of 70.29 percent. A total of 7,63,906 girls appeared for the examination out of which 6,24,828 passed the examination, recording passing percentage of 81.79 percent.

Maharashtra's Education Minister Vinod Tawde explain the reason behind this year's poor SSC result as compared to last year. Watch the video here:

Other than the overall passing percentage, Mumbai division failed to give a good show in the number of cent per cent scorers too. This year, there is no student from Mumbai division who scored a 100 per cent which was more than three students in last year’s result. This year, Latur Pattern seems to have made a come-back with a total of 16 students scoring 100 per cent which is the highest number of students in any division this year.

After Latur, Aurangabad shows three students with a cent per cent score and Amravati follows closely with just one student. Shockingly, neither Mumbai nor Pune have shown any 100 per cent students this year, whereas these are generally considered as big divisions with a good number of high scorers.
