Comparison of Odds Ratios obtained in higher secondary and matriculation
examination for the respective set of independent variables.
Discussion
Observing the Figure 3, it may be point out that, females show better
performance in matriculation compared to higher secondary examination. But
performance of English medium schools turned out to be better in higher secondary
examination. On the other hand, Govt. schools are showing almost same performance
in both the examination. Urban schools shows 2 times better performance in higher
secondary examination compared to matriculation.
Overall Conclusion
From the above observations in all the three stages, we may conclude that,
females are always showing best performances in both the examinations. But their
performance is found to be still better in matriculation as shown in our analysis in all
three stages. The performances of English medium schools are found to be satisfactory
in higher secondary examination. Similarly urban schools always show better
performance in higher secondary examination.
