Board chairperson Anand Kishor said a change in the pattern, digitisation of the exam process, OMR sheets and the introduction of 50% objective questions were the main reasons for the improvement in result this year. Last year, 50.12% students cleared the exam, which has been marred by several controversies.

More than 17 lakh students appeared for the matriculation exams that were held between February 21 and 28 in over 1,426 centres in Bihar.

The board claimed that the exams were conducted in a fair manner with strict measures in place and denied any question paper was leaked.

It asked candidates not to wear shoes and socks in the exam centres to deter them from carrying cheating notes. Many students appeared in the exams bare feet and others in slippers.
