Sun Apr 13 01:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Andhra Pradesh Records Highest-Ever Intermediate Pass Percentage in 2025
**Amaravati, April 12, 2025** – Andhra Pradesh has witnessed its highest-ever intermediate (higher secondary) examination pass percentage in 2025, with a remarkable increase in successful students. Minister Lokesh announced the results on Saturday morning, revealing an 83% pass rate for second-year students and 70% for first-year students. This surpasses all previous records of the past decade.
Government and aided junior colleges achieved outstanding results, with girls outperforming boys in both years. The overall pass percentage for girls was 84% in the second year and 75% in the first year, compared to 80% and 66% for boys respectively. All subject groups also showed significant improvement.
Krishna district secured the top position statewide, boasting a 93% pass rate in the second year, followed by Guntur (91%) and NTR (89%). This trend continued in the first year, with Krishna, Guntur, and NTR again leading the rankings. Alluri Sitarama Raju district had the lowest pass rate in the second year (73%), while Chittoor district trailed in the first year (54%). The pass percentage for vocational intermediate courses was 62% in the first year and 77% in the second year.
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu congratulated the successful students, highlighting the significant improvement in pass rates over the past decade. He attributed this success to various reforms implemented in the education sector, including WhatsApp groups for classes and a caretaker system.
Supplementary examinations will be held from May 12th to 20th, with applications open from April 15th to 22nd. Recounting and re-verification applications can be submitted from April 13th to 22nd.
Government junior colleges showcased remarkable progress, achieving their best results in a decade. The pass rate for government colleges increased significantly compared to 2024, with a considerable rise in admissions. This improvement is attributed to initiatives such as providing free textbooks and notebooks, reinstating the midday meal scheme, and appointing principals to 217 colleges. A categorization system focusing on students’ learning abilities also played a role.
Minister Lokesh expressed his satisfaction with the results on X (formerly Twitter), urging students who failed not to be discouraged. He emphasized that the result should be seen as a stepping stone to further success.
A poignant case highlighted the impact of even a few lost marks: a student, Dandé Rajaswari, scored 98% in the first year but failed the second year due to receiving only 5 marks in English despite excelling in other subjects.
