It helped them take enough rest and restart studying. We had also finished the syllabus by Dec for govt schools, and then started with remedial classes. From Jan to March, teachers were dedicatedly attending to the doubts of students. About the six schools that got a 0% pass percentage, most of them are private schools with a negligible strength.""Our students showed real discipline and determination this year," said Simple Dayama, dean of Slate The School. "Strong mentoring and a structured approach made the difference. This is not just about academics—it reflects the spirit we have tried to build."The SSC examinations were conducted from March 14 to April 16. The minimum pass mark was 35 out of 100 for each subject, except for the second language, where it was 20 out of 100.
