SY Chandekar, Secretary, Mumbai divisional board said that Mumbai’s performance has been more or less the same since the last two years. “From the time that these exams  started, Mumbai  recorded the pass percentage of 17-22 per cent. The low passing rate can be attribute to a large number of students that appear privately from the division,” he said.
