New Delhi, january 04, 2024 : Earlier this week, 398 students in India and 20,385 students worldwide received their Diploma Programme (DP) and Career-related Programme (CP) results from the November 2023 examination session. This marks a 12.18% increase in the number of students receiving DP and CP results from last year.
The IB is immensely proud of all students who have reached this milestone. Throughout the DP and CP two-year learning journey students acquire the knowledge and skills to personally and professionally thrive and make a difference in the world.
With a global average DP score for the November 2023 session of 29.06 points, today’s IB graduates join a community of more than 2.3 million alumni and lifelong learners across 160 countries worldwide.
Olli-Pekka Heinonen, Director General of the International Baccalaureate, said: “In a world full of new challenges, IB students demonstrate resilience and dedication, overcoming obstacles with commendable grace. As they step into the world as IB graduates, I have no doubt they are equipped not just with knowledge but the adaptability and tenacity to thrive in an ever-evolving world. We are immensely proud of their achievements and look forward to witnessing the impact they will undoubtedly make, shaping a better tomorrow for us all.”
As of May 2023, the IB decided to discontinue the publication of data highlighting the number of IB students achieving the highest top mark (45 data points), to discourage the use of assessment results for comparisons among students, schools, or communities.
IB students and World Schools are diverse and have varying contexts, socioeconomic positions, and cohort sizes. Additionally, IB students’ individual achievements go far beyond their assessment scores. Given these considerations and the long-term impact of the pandemic as well as other global challenges, the IB has decided to refrain from sharing assessment data to prevent generalized comparisons. The IB is equally proud of all students and the accomplishments they achieve during their two-year DP or CP journey.
For the November 2023 examination session, DP and CP students completed all assessment components for each subject and the IB awarded grades using all components, coursework and examinations. Learn more about the November 2023 examination session here.
