THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Kerala registered a record 98.82 pass percentage in the SSLC examinations this year. This is a 0.71 percent increase from the pass percentage registered last year, said General Education Minister C Raveendranath while announcing the results here on Tuesday.

“A total of 4,17,101 students out of 4.27 lakh have qualified for higher studies. No moderation has been given this year too and government schools performed better compared to last year,” Raveendranath said in a press conference.
