AIZAWL — The Mizoram Board of School Education (MBSE) declared the results of the Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (HSSLC) examinations on Tuesday, marking a significant academic milestone for the state. Held at the MBSE office in Aizawl’s Chaltlang locality, the announcement revealed that this year’s examination saw a total of 12,281 students appear across 100 designated centres.
Out of the total, 12,105 candidates were officially recorded across three streams—8,658 in Arts, 2,798 in Science, and 649 in Commerce. The overall pass percentage stood at an impressive 81.10%, with Science leading at 85.63%, followed by Arts at 81.13%, and Commerce at 74.42%. A notable trend this year was the overwhelming participation of girls, outnumbering boys by 1,015 candidates.
Academic excellence was celebrated across the board, with a total of 701 students securing Distinction, 3,250 achieving First Division, 3,970 attaining Second Division, and 1,896 passing in the Third Division. In a standout achievement for gender representation, all three stream toppers were female students from Aizawl, reinforcing the growing presence and performance of girls in higher secondary education in the state.
Lalrammawii Tochhawng from Mount Carmel School led the Arts stream with a score of 471 out of 500. Cynthia Lalhlupuii Shangpliang from St. Paul’s Higher Secondary School topped the Science stream with 477 marks, continuing her stellar academic streak as she had also secured the top rank in the HSLC examination in 2023. In Commerce, Kristin Laldinpuii Ralte of Oikos Higher Secondary School secured the highest marks with 470 out of 500.
Performance at the institutional level also presented a diverse picture. Among the 207 schools offering Arts, 46 achieved a 100% pass rate, while two schools had no successful candidates. All 69 schools with Science students recorded full pass results, indicating strong academic preparation in the stream. However, in the Commerce stream, two out of 29 institutions failed to produce any passing candidates.
The results not only celebrate individual brilliance but also highlight broader trends in Mizoram’s education landscape—particularly the rise of female academic leadership and the consistency of certain schools in nurturing high-performing students. As the state reflects on this year’s outcome, the success of these young scholars stands as a beacon for future aspirants.
