Mysore/Mysuru: Mysuru district, which was expected to come within the top 10 in the district wise rankings of second PU exam results this year, has once again fallen short of expectations and disappointed the academicians and other stakeholders, by slipping to 17th position. The district had bagged the 13th place in the rankings last year. But this year, despite the improvement in performance (83.13 pass percentage), the district has dropped four places and stands at 17th in the rankings.
A total of 33,876 students from the district had appeared for the exam, out of which 25,566 students have passed out, with the district recording a pass percentage of 83.13. Though the district had recorded a lower pass percentage(79.89) last year, it is intriguing why the district slipped to 17th position, despite improvement in performance. This is attributed to the lower percentage of pass in Arts stream (64.36) which has pulled down the overall pass percentage.
