School Education Minister Thangam Thennarasu said that though there was a marginal decrease in the overall pass percentage, it was heartening to see toppers and high scorers coming from all over the State, particularly the rural areas.

Students who wish to apply for photocopies of their answer sheets may collect the application forms at the offices of the CEOs, DEOs and the Regional Deputy Director of Government Examinations.
