Officials said the pass percentage of students in the Class 10 MP board exams was 66.54, the best in two decades, and that 69% girls cleared it against 64% boys. There were 94 girls and 87 boys on the merit list declared by the board.
This year, 16% more students were declared successful in the Class 10 exams as compared to last year when 49.9% of them cleared it. The reason for the better result could be the inclusion of the marks of the best of five subjects this year.
In Class 12, 68.08% students cleared the board exams and 62 girls and 41 boys found a place in the merit list. Last year, 67.8% students cleared the Class 12 board exams.

Nearly 19,00,000 students, including 700,000 Class 12 candidates and 11,00,000 Class 10 examinees, wrote the exams conducted by the board. The Class 12 board exam started from March 1 and ended on April 3 and Class 10 exams were held from March 5 to March 31.
A board official said the number of lines to the helpline number on which students can call have been increased. The board has also asked schools to organise parent-teacher meetings to help students cope with pressure after the results are declared, the official added.
I have spent over a decade chronicling Madhya Pradesh’s political and social landscape, covering politics, investigative journalism, crime, human interest, and government policy, blending sharp insight with ground‑level depth. I have closely tracked three assembly elections, three Lok Sabha elections, leadership transitions in MP while exposing governance lapses, tender irregularities, and flawed policy rollouts. My reports have revealed gaps in the Cheetah project, irregularities in medical education, rigging in recruitment exams, and loopholes in policy implementation. In crime reporting, I have moved beyond FIRs to map systemic patterns — from organised crime networks and gender‑based violence to custodial accountability — balancing urgency with sensitivity. My journalism is defined by a commitment to human interest. I have profiled the marginalised Bancchda community, documented atrocities against tribal groups, and highlighted efforts to preserve their culture through heritage liquor and revival of spiritual practices. I have reported on farmers struggling with failed MSP promises, giving voice to those often reduced to statistics in policy files. Passionate about field reporting, I have reported on rampant sand mining in Chambal and Narmada, pharmaceutical companies supplying medicines under altered names, the dire condition of schools and colleges, the plight of commercial sex workers, and skewed sex ratios in specific districts. Beyond deadlines, and as HT’s state correspondent and assistant editor in Madhya Pradesh, I engage with ministers, farmers, students, and activists, believing the best policy stories begin with a single human voice. A postgraduate in Journalism and Mass Communication, I also hold a diploma in sports journalism.
