The lowest average score gained by any student is 50 per cent, the school said.

The 14th batch of students from The Asian School also achieved 100 per cent success.

School director Joseph Thomas and principal Elizabeth Joseph expressed delight at the results.

'We congratulate the students, their parents and teachers whose hard work has reaped fruits,' said the school management. 'Every year found The Asian School one step ahead.”

The 13th batch of Class 10 students from The New Indian School maintained their 100pc pass rate, the school announced.
