Announcement of School and College Exam Results in Kerala and Odisha

Introduction

Education officials in Kerala and Odisha are preparing to release the board examination results for the 2026 academic year.

Main Body

In Kerala, the Pareeksha Bhavan has announced that the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) results will be released on May 15, 2026. Students can access their specific school data after 3:00 PM. The exams ended on March 30, 2026, and involved 4.17 lakh students across 3,031 centers. To check their results, students must enter their roll number and date of birth on official websites such as pareekshabhavan.kerala.gov.in. Looking back at 2025, Kannur district had the highest pass rate, while Trivandrum had the lowest; furthermore, 2,331 schools achieved a 100% pass rate last year. At the same time, the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) in Odisha is getting ready to publish the Class 12 results. As is usual, these results are typically released in May. Board officials will hold a press conference to share detailed information, including pass percentages for Science, Commerce, Arts, and Vocational streams, as well as data by gender and district. For example, 2025 data showed pass rates of 87.49% for Science and 80.51% for Arts. Students can find their mark sheets on chseodisha.nic.in or orissaresults.nic.in.

Conclusion

Both states are now completing the final steps to publish these academic results.

πŸš€ The 'Connective' Jump: Moving from Simple to Complex

At the A2 level, students usually write like this: "Kannur had the highest pass rate. Trivandrum had the lowest." This is correct, but it sounds like a child speaking. To reach B2, you must stop using 'full stops' for everything and start using Transitions.

⚑ The Power Word: Furthermore

In the text, we see: *"...Trivandrum had the lowest; furthermore, 2,331 schools achieved a 100% pass rate..."

What is it? Furthermore is a fancy way of saying "and also" or "plus." It tells the reader: "I have already given you one piece of information, and now I am adding something even more important."

The B2 Logic:

  • A2: I like apples. I like oranges.
  • B1: I like apples and oranges.
  • B2: I enjoy eating apples; furthermore, I find that oranges provide essential vitamins.

πŸ› οΈ Expanding Your 'Comparison' Toolkit

Notice how the article uses "At the same time" to switch from Kerala to Odisha.

Instead of just saying "Also in Odisha...", the author uses a phrase that creates a bridge between two different locations. This is a hallmark of B2 fluency: managing the flow of information so the reader doesn't get lost.

πŸ” Vocabulary Shift: 'Get Ready' β†’\rightarrow 'Prepare'

Look at the difference in the text:

  1. "...officials... are preparing to release..."
  2. "...CHSE... is getting ready to publish..."

Coach's Tip:

  • Getting ready = Informal/Spoken (A2/B1)
  • Preparing = Professional/Written (B2)

To sound more professional in your writing, replace "get ready" with "prepare" or "arrange."
