Gandhinagar, May 11 : The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) on Saturday declared the results of the SSC examinations, and the pass percentage was recorded at 82.56 per cent.

This year's pass percentage reached an impressive 82.56 per cent, marking an increase of approximately 18 percentage points from last year's 64.62 per cent.

Despite the overall positive trends, the board also noted malpractice concerns, capturing 138 students in the act and recording about 400 cases based on CCTV footage.

The marked improvement in results has seen a rise in schools achieving a 100 per cent pass rate, with 1,389 schools accomplishing this feat compared to only 272 in 2023 and 292 in 2022. Conversely, the number of schools with less than 30 per cent results has decreased notably, with only 264 schools this year compared to 1,084 in 2023.
