PREFACE

COBSE started compilation of results for Councils/ Board-members with effect from 2004.

The objective behind this has been to reflect the performances of the students for classes X and XII

level. The respective boards can analyze where one stands and also take steps to raise the level of

performances of the students. Over the years, COBSE had held meetings on this area, reducing the

examination stress/ burden on students, allowing extra time for reading, revising answers etc. It is a

matter of pleasure for COBSE that members share the issues and learn from each other in making

evaluation process to promote and to make examination an ongoing activity reducing stress of

students. We found that the parents, students and society had appreciated these steps. Even some

research scholars are using the data from time to time brought out in its Annual Reports.

I take this opportunity to give a brief of other examination related activities carried out by

COBSE.

COBSE is thankful to all its members for supporting the new initiatives like common syllabi

and design of question papers in science and commerce streams. This had been deliberated in

Hyderabad Conference of COBSE held in 2008. It had been resolved that the States may have 70-

80% common content with 30-20% variation according to regional/ state requirement in these

subjects. COBSE is grateful that most of the States had followed. Copies of the common design of

question papers for class XI in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics was provided to all

member Boards/ Councils in the year 2011.

In the recent past, COBSE has got prepared common design of question papers for class XII

in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. A copy of sample question papers, blue print,

design and marking scheme has been sent to all the Boards/ Councils in the month of June 2016. A

number of Boards have appreciated this document.

I am happy to place before you a copy of the Analysis of Examination Results 2014 done by

COBSE. I am sure this will be of value to members of COBSE and other stakeholders alike. I request

all my colleagues to ensure that they provide complete data on time to enable us to carry out the

work of this nature on a regular basis. I am sure; Boards/ Councils who have not been able to provide

us information would kindly send information on time in future.

I acknowledge the support of members of COBSE in enabling us to accomplish the task. I am

grateful to those who had helped in this work. I profusely acknowledge the quality of work done by

them.

The information on percentage of students in 60% to Below 75% and 75% & Above for the total

students as well as SC and ST students of all the 17 Boards/ Councils, for both regular and private

students, is summarized in the Table 3.11.

students. This is true for both regular and private students. In particular the percentage of pass

students getting 75% & Above or 60% to Below 75% is less for the regular as well as for private SC

students as compared to general students. The performance of ST students is even less than that of

SC students when it comes to the percentage of students getting 60% or more marks.

show any uniform pattern across the state Boards (see Fig. 4.1). The pass percentage data for regular

students is available for 19 Boards for all the 3 years. The number of Boards for which the pass

percentage is shown was 25 in 2012, 23 in 2013 and 26 in 2014. We find that the overall pass

percentage increased gradually from 77.72% in 2012 to 79.37% in 2013 and then 78.10% in 2014.

In some Boards (Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Nagaland and CBSE), the

pass percentage increased between 2012, 2013 and 2014 but in some other Boards (Goa, Haryana,

Meghalaya, Mizoram, Punjab and CISCE), the pass percentage decreased either in 2012 or 2013.

Madhya Pradesh, Manipur, Tripura, Uttarakhand and West Bengal Boards. There is steep increase in

pass percentage of 8.04 in Jharkhand followed by 8.01% in Goa and 6.91% in Maharashtra in 2014
