No Mohali student made it to merit list
This year, a total of 302 students from the state bagged more than 489 marks out of the total 500, and made it to the provisional merit list. The merit list consisted of the top nine scorers in the state. However, of the 302 students, not even a single child from Mohali district could enter the merit list. Students from Gurdaspur, the district with the lowest pass percentage, also figured in the merit list.
Mohali district education officer (DEO) Shushil Nath, said, “Mohali’s pass percentage is improving but we will work harder to make it to the merit list. In the ongoing academic year, we will motivate teachers and students to enhance their capabilities so that we can improve the Mohali’s results.”
“The education department of the district is planning to start evening online classes for students of all schools, whose percentages in ninth and eleventh classes are above 60. Teachers from PSEB schools will be allotted the students even if they are not from their own school. This activity will surely help Mohali students to make it to the merit list,” the DEO said, adding that better results are expected next year.
