The Intermediate results this year have marked a significant turnaround in the education sector, with pass percentages reaching their highest levels in over a decade. Under the leadership of Education and IT Minister Nara Lokesh, government junior colleges have recorded notable improvement, reflecting the impact of structured reforms and close monitoring.
As per official figures, first-year Intermediate students achieved a 77% pass rate — the highest in the past 12 years. Second-year students recorded an 81% pass percentage, making it one of the best performances in recent times. Government institutions also showed steady progress, with first-year results rising to 66%, an 8% increase from last year, and second-year results reaching 76%.
Education experts credit these results to a mix of welfare initiatives and academic reforms introduced during the academic year. For the first time, mid-day meals were extended to Intermediate students, while study kits under the “Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Student Mitra” scheme were distributed to support learning. Vacant teaching positions were filled through promotions and guest faculty, ensuring continuity in teaching.
A strong focus on planning and monitoring also played a key role. Regular unit tests, quarterly, half-yearly, and pre-final exams were conducted in a centralized system. Student performance was tracked through digital dashboards, with monthly reviews of teachers based on student outcomes.
The “Sankalpam 2026” initiative further strengthened academic performance by categorizing students based on their learning levels and offering targeted support. Special study material was provided for weaker students, while a care-taker system ensured lecturers closely guided students. Increased parental involvement through meetings and digital communication also contributed to improved results.
The latest results highlight how consistent efforts, reforms, and leadership have helped bring measurable change in the education system, setting a new benchmark for the years ahead.
