Poor show by Silchar students in HSLC exam

CORRESPONDENT
SILCHAR, June 1 – This year in the HSLC examination, the students of Silchar town failed to attain a position on the merit list. Not even in the top 20 position.

There are so many reputed private schools in this town, who always claim to produce good students, but are now nowhere. This is the first in recent times that Cachar did not figure in the merit list.

Every year private schools show better results in connection with ranking than the government schools in the HSLC examination. Last year too, just a single student from suburban Udharband made it to the merit list. But in 2007 Cachar district got ten rank holders.

The Silchar Government Boys School, which once produced a number of meritorious students, had to be happy with a single first division. The 18 students who appeared from this school, all passed with 11 in second division and five with letter marks in Persian.

This year in Cachar district 12,255 students appeared in the HSLC exam out of which 7,927 passed out. Among them 788 students secured first division, 1,657 secured second and 5,482 students secured the third division. The percentage of pass students was 64.841.

The oldest convent school in the town Holy Cross School was on top of the list with 84 first division holders this year, among 90 students. Remaining six students passed in the second division.

Another well-known private school, Silchar Collegiate School, recorded a cent per cent success as all the 133 students of this school passed out with flying colours. 109 students secured first division and a total of 329 letters were earned by the school.

The Ramanuj Gupta Memorial High School also got with a remarkable success as out of 35 students, 24 passed in first division and nine in second divisions. Total numbers of letters were 78.

Ankit Kumar Sethia of Silchar Muktasree School secured the best in the State, 100 marks in mathematics. Sandip Nath of Kalain Adarsh Vidyapeeth also secured 90 as the highest marks in Bengali.

Like in previous years, private institutes in Silchar maintained supremacy on the result sheet while the Government schools recorded a miserable performance.

Another government school in Silchar in which 110 students appeared from Adharchand School and 103 passed out but only 18 could secure first division 31 in the second division and the remaining 54 secured the third division. Four students got star marks and just 30 letters were wrested by the school.

Government schools like Shyama Charan Dev Vidyapeeth and Manmohan Valika Vidyalaya could not produce a single first division. Similar was the story with Tarapur Girls’ Higher Secondary school where nine out of 18 students passed, only two in second divisions and the left behind seven in third divisions. ASSAM TRIBUNE
