But soon we will declare the dates after meeting the chairman,” Meenakshi added. About 3.5 lakh students had appeared in Class X examinations in Haryana. The state board had declared Class XII results just a day back on Wednesday, and 65.4 percent of the nearly 2 lakh students who appeared for the exam this year were successful, as compared to last year’s passing percentage of 62.40. As it usually is the case, girls outshone the boys, with pass percentage of girls at 73 percent being way better than that of boys, which was at just 57.58 percent. The corresponding figures for last year were 70.77 percent for girls and 55.79 percent for boys.
