Here are the results from the 2010 Karnataka State Board Exams (Std X) for students at the Shanbhag School in Kumta, Karnataka. The top three students for the entire Kumta District were from our Shanbhag School. Yaay! I am constantly amazed at the caliber of the students and the teachers who toil for them. Congratulations!
Summary of Results:
82 students appeared for the X Std, Karnataka State Board Exams, 2010:
- Highest score of 98.08%
- 24/82 students scored greater than 90%
- 76/82 scored greater than 60% (First Class)
- 4/82 scored between 50 and 59% (Second Class)
- 2/82 students got pass class
- No student failed the X Std Board exams
Of the four Shanbhag Scholarship recipients in the graduating class, two received first class and two got II Class.
As I have said earlier, I don’t expect our needy scholarship recipients to excel, but I am proud we gave them an opportunity to study and rub shoulders alongside the best students in the district. how awesome is that!
I am still collecting funds to support scholarships for needy students at the school. If you would like to make a contribution, there is now an easy Pay by Credit Card option:

Just received results from the recent Karnataka State Board Exams (Std X) for students at the Shanbhag School in Kumta, Karnataka. What a spectacular performance by the students! Congratulations! Our gratitude also to the teachers who do a fabulous job, every day!
Summary of Results:
74 students appeared for the X Std, Karnataka State Board Exams, 2009:
- Highest score of 96.5%
- 20/74 students scored greater than 90%
- 70/74 scored greater than 60%
- 4/74 scored between 50 and 60%
- No student in the entire class failed the X Std Board exams
Of the two Shanbhag Scholarship recipients in the graduating class, one received 90.4% and the other 69.92%. Excellent performers and we are elated to have contributed marginally to their studies. I hope hope they will be equally successful in college and in life.
I don’t expect our needy scholarship recipients to be at the top of the class, but we have given them an opportunity to study alongside the best students, at the best school. And they held their own. The network effects of this alone are worthwhile. This is akin to bringing deserving students to study at Harvard. You wouldn’t expect them at the top of the class, but just being here, they gain tremendously. Exactly that!
I am still collecting funds to support scholarships for needy students at the school. If you would like to make a contribution, please contact me.

I am cross-posting it here.
When I first posted on the Shanbhag School, the upper floor (1st floor) was still under construction. During my visit in Nov, it was a thrill to see students enjoying lectures in the new classrooms. You can see pics of ongoing classes later in the post. But first, an important question: How are the students performing academically?
In a word – EXCELLENT!
Summary of Results of 58 students who appeared in the 2007 X Std, Karnataka State Board Exams:
- Highest score of 97.7%
- 3/58 students scored greater than 97%
- 20/58 students scored greater than 90%
- 34/58 scored greater than 85%
- 54/58 scored greater than 60%
- 3/58 scored between 50 and 60%
- 1/58 scored between 35 and 50%
- No student in the entire class failed the X std Board exams
WoW! Congratulations to the students on their excellent performance. Also a big pat on the back for the teachers who did an outstanding job of educating the young. Since the Shanbhag School is a private school, it does not receive any Government subsidies or aid. Thus the teacher’s salary are much lower than at local government-aided schools. The dedication of teachers to teach is thus so much more appreciated. The 2008 exams has recently concluded and it will be some months before the results are out.
Here are a few pics of ongoing classes. Note: I did not know that Thursdays are “casual Thursdays” and students did not have to wear their blue and white uniforms (which you see in this post). Thus the school took on a festive appearance. YaaY!
It was a fabulous November afternoon. Looking towards the front of the school. For comparison, see here for pics from a few years ago.
