Challenges for boys
Inconsistent study habits, distractions from part-time work or extracurriculars, and under-preparation in some institutions are possible factors.
- Targeted academic support should be introduced for streams where boys lag behind, especially in STEM.
- Share best practices from high-performing girls’ colleges (study routines, mentoring) across institutions.
- Encourage career counselling and proactive parental engagement for all students.

Why Are Girls Performing Better?
Education experts attribute the consistent success of girls to several factors:

- Focused Academic Environments: Many girls’ institutions provide structured, disciplined settings conducive to learning.
- Career Aspirations: Girls aiming for competitive fields like medicine study more rigorously.
- Fewer Distractions: Lifestyle and social factors often help girls stay more focused on academics.
Challenges for Male Students
While boys showed strength in certain areas such as Humanities and Commerce, their overall results point to several challenges:

Experts recommend increased academic guidance and motivation to help male students close this gap.
