As many as 2,639 schools of the total of 7,536 in the State recorded a 100% pass. A total of 489 government schools recorded a cent per cent pass rate. Private schools outperformed other schools this year, with a pass percentage of 98.72, while government schools recorded 92.16% and government-aided schools registered 96.14%.

Following the removal of Class 11 public exams this year, the arrear exams were held for 20,444 candidates. Of them, 8,491 passed.
Students can check their results at https://results.digilocker.gov.in, https://tnresults.nic.in/ or www.dge.tn.gov.in by entering their roll number and date of birth. This time, students can also check their results through WhatsApp by contacting 7845252525.

Noting that the number of centum this time around has come down, N. Vijayan, senior principal of Zion and Alwin Group of Schools, said, “Centums in physics have come down and also in the core subjects. This will affect those pursuing engineering, but overall the results are good.”
“Government schools this year have done well. The results are good overall. However, the pass rate of my school has come down, which is disheartening. There is a lot to improve,” said the principal of a government school in Chennai.
In a post on X, the outgoing Chief Minister, M.K. Stalin, congratulated the students. He urged them to focus on higher education to achieve excellence in life. “Those who couldn’t pass this time must not lose heart, seize the other opportunities that come your way, and move forward. Education is the key to success in life,” he said.
