There has been an increase in the number of distinction and A-star holders among those who took the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) exams (Oct-Nov session), the results of which were announced on January 23.
“Of our total batch of 107 students who appeared for the examinations, most students got A-stars and A grades. Girls performed exceptionally well in this batch,” said Vandana Lulla, principal of Podar International School, Mumbai.
While most IGCSE students opt for the April-May session for their final examination, a small chunk of students choose the October-November session. Since those who appear for the exams in May get their results by August, they are out of the junior college admission process that starts in June every year.
At DG Khetan International School, Mumbai, 22 of the 28 students who appeared for this exam scored a distinction.
