Results of Higher/Senior secondary examination

Examination means the test of a students knowledge in prescribed subjects. Various Examination Boards have been established in the country for holding and conducting an examination at the end of Class X, the Secondary School stage and Class XII, the Senior Secondary School stage. These boards also prescribe conditions of examinations including course of studies for such examination. Normally every year these Boards conduct Annual Examination in the month of February/March. Some of the Boards also conduct Supplementary Examination in the month of August/September on the basis of course/syllabus as prescribed by the Government. The Examination results have assumed high importance for enabling students to enter job markets as well as for pursuing higher education. The result at the end of class XII is all the more significant as this leads students to enter tertiary level of education, including academic and professional courses of the university level. It is of vital importance to compile the results of Secondary and Senior Secondary examinations conducted by various boards. Properly and systematically analyzed data on Examination results not only measure the efficacy of the educational system, it also indicates the flow of students from school level to higher education and job market.
