Students who pass the Grade-10 matriculation exams, held annually over two weeks in March, will be admitted to university programs as long as they achieve the minimum scores required for their chosen major. Students who fail can try again next year.

Over 590,000 students across the country took the matriculation exam in 2016, including nearly 20,000 in Mon State, 12,000 of whom were girls, according to official statistics.
“The exam results will be posted in the same places as before. The locations will not be changed,” said an official from Department of Myanmar Examinations.

Mon State came in second, with 43.40 percent, after holding the top-ranked position the previous six years in a row. Not far behind were Magway and Rangoon Divisions, with 40.86 percent and 37.16 percent, respectively.
