While district education officer (DEO) Sushil Nath expressed satisfaction at the overall results, he asked teachers in Mohali to be made more accountable and said their performance will be evaluated.
He said as far as the pass percentage was concerned, the students appeared in offline exams after one year, which impacted the results.
