Hyderabad: This year, Hyderabad schools witnessed more toppers in Commerce stream, whereas results in Maths and Economics are not up to expectations, say authorities.
According to principals of various schools, Commerce is faring better as in recent years, meritorious students are opting for the stream. Earlier, such students would plump for Science stream.
Scores in Mathematics are relatively low this year, they said, reasoning that most students found the Maths paper quite lengthy this year. This, despite much debate, including in Parliament, about the standard of the question paper, they added.
“Our commerce topper has got 100 in Economics, 98 in Accountancy and 95 in Math and Business studies. Our science topper has scored 95 in Math, Physics, and Chemistry and Computer Science. High scores are noticed this year in Commerce stream as the trend is changing, and meritorious students are opting for commerce,’’ Dr. Narasimha Reddy, Principal, HPS Ramanthapur, said.
“This year, I saw an uptick in English marks, and Physics and Chemistry were much better. Marks in the rest of the subjects were more or less the same as last year, but results in Maths and Economics are not appealing. Our topper is from Commerce stream -- Shruti Nagarajan has topped with 97 per cent. Political Science and Psychology could have fetched better marks,” Anjali Razdan, Principal, AMS P. OBUL Reddy School, said,
