West Bengal Madhyamik result 2025: Check overall pass percentage, region-wise performance, and more
The West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) has declared the Madhyamik Pariksha (Secondary Examination) 2025 results on Friday, recording an overall pass percentage of 86.56 per cent.
Students who appeared for the examination can check their results from the official website, wbbse.wb.gov.in.
A total of 9,84,979 students had enrolled for this year’s Class 10 board examinations, held from February 10 to 22, with additional papers conducted on April 2, 2025. Of the 9,69,425 who appeared, 8,14,440 students were declared successful.
While this marks a modest increase from the 86.31 per cent pass rate recorded in 2024, detailed statistics show that performance gaps across gender and districts continue to persist.
Female students lag behind even with higher participation numbers
A record participation of 5,55,950 girls marked West Bengal Madhaymik exams this year, however, female candidates continue to lag behind their male counterparts in terms of performance.
The pass percentage for male students stood at 89.19 per cent, while that for female students was notably lower at 84.39 per cent, a gap of nearly five percentage points. This persistent disparity remains a point of concern, particularly considering the increasing enrollment of girls in the examination system..
