Government flags gaps in states with split boards

The Centre has urged Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Kerala, Manipur, Odisha, Telangana, and West Bengal to adopt a unified board for Classes X and XII, addressing concerns over poor academic performance. These states accounted for 66% of student failures in 2024. Integrated board systems, like those in Kerala, Odisha, and Manipur, demonstrated higher pass rates, exceeding 97%.
