Nearly 50% Student of CBSE Board Opt for State Syllabus
Nearly 50% of the students, who cleared the CBSE class X
exams this year, have applied for admission to state syllabus schools. Of the
70,020 students who appeared for the CBSE board exams in Thiruvananthapuram
region, consisting of schools in Kerala and Lakshadweep, almost 35,081 students
have applied for admission in state syllabus schools in class XI.
The main reason for this is that students score higher marks in state syllabus
schools thereby increasing their chances of getting admission to professional
colleges. Further, fees in government and aided schools are much lower than in
private schools.
