SY Chandekar, Secretary, Mumbai divisional board said that Mumbai's performance has been more or less the same since the last two years. "From the time that these exams were started, Mumbai has recorded the pass percentage of 17-22 per cent. The low passing rate can be attributed to a large number of students that appear privately from the division," he said.
A total of 93,271 students registered for the exam, of which 68,605 were boys and 24,666 were girls. As is the usual trend, girls outshined boys by with a 28.72 pass percentage versus boys' 23.61 per cent.
