Of the independent variables, gender of students’ and location of schools
contribute significantly to the model. Board of examination turned out to be highly
significant along with TBSE and CBSE whereas CBSE is marginally significant to the
model. Only medium of instruction (English medium) shows insignificant result.
The performances of female students are 1.839 times higher than that of the
performance of male students. Whereas the performance of English medium schools are
0.530 times better than that of the Bengali medium schools.
As far as board of examination is concerned, it is observed that, TBSE and
CBSE boards are 0.259 and 2.703 times better than that of ICSE board. On the other
hand, urban students are 1.568 times better than that of rural students.
Looking at the length of confidence interval of estimated odds, we find that,
board (1) i.e., Tripura Board of Secondary Education (TBSE) is estimated with 95%
confidence having shortest interval length.
Now we consider Matriculation result as a dependent variable, where as
gender of students, medium of instruction, board of examination and location of schools
are independent variables.
