MUMBAI: The International Baccalaureate (IB) on Monday announced the results of its diploma programme (DP) and career-related programme (CP) for the May 2021 exams. The grades obtained by students this year are higher than last year despite the pandemic.
DP and CP are equivalent to Class X to XII and 4,945 students in India emerged successful. Across the globe, results of 1,70,000 students were announced.
The board allowed a dual route for students who could take the physical exam or be assessed by their teachers (non-exam route). Olli-Pekka Heinonen, IB director general, said in a statement, “We believe that the IB’s approach to the May 2021 examination—in which schools that could sit the exams did so—was the fairest possible solution. The non-exam route for allocating results to students who were unable to take exams was fair, clear and allowed for grades to be distributed that reflect their achievements and abilities.”
More students (1,04,275) took the non-exam route than the exam route (65,576). A total of 809 were split between both.
