Moreover, the performance of the both gender in the subjects like, Physics, history, foreign languages and mathematics are almost same. Girls got slightly better result, with maximum 2.5% percent in the history.

In the chemistry, the success rate of girls compared to boys is relatively high, that is about 16%. Similarly, girls also perform best in computer science with success rate of 56.3%, which constitutes about 14% difference with boys. Geography is the only subject in which passing rate of male students are more than female counterpart. 30.4% boy candidates successfully cleared high school competency exam, while female candidates cleared 20.1%, which is about 10% less than male students.
