Director of the State Board of Intermediate Education Ranjith Basha has expressed serious concern over the poor results of some government junior colleges that recorded a low pass rate in the recent Intermediate Public Examinations (IPE) held in March 2026.
At a State-wide review meeting on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) attended by principals of 50 government junior colleges that did not perform on expected lines, Mr. Basha pointed out key shortcomings in academic monitoring and the delivery system. He issued a set of strict instructions aimed at improving performance in the coming year.
The reasons identified for the decline in pass percentage included inadequate monitoring of student attendance, delays in syllabus completion, lack of emphasis on revision tests and insufficient supervision of teaching practices by principals, the Director said. Holding both lecturers and principals accountable, he ordered disciplinary measures in institutions with poor outcomes.

The Regional Joint Directors have been instructed to remove guest faculty in subjects that recorded low pass percentages.
