Cuddalore ranks fifth among government schools in class 12 board exams

CUDDALORE: Cuddalore district has secured the fifth position among government schools at the state level in the Class 12 board exams, Collector Sibi Adhithya Senthil Kumar announced on Thursday.

Addressing the media at the collectorate, he said, “Cuddalore achieved a pass percentage of 96.06%. This places the district in the 10th position across the state, including both government and private schools, and 5th position among government schools alone.”

He stated that this is an improvement from the previous year. “Last year, Cuddalore ranked 22nd among all schools and 23rd among government schools in the state. To improve the pass percentage, the School Education Department took several steps. Students who failed in only one subject last year were identified and given special coaching, which contributed to the improved success rate,” he said.
