Hyderabad/New Delhi: In 2025, 6,083 students in India completed the International Baccalaureate’s Diploma Programme (DP) and Career-related Programme (CP). Globally, 202,103 students received their results from the May 2025 exams, showing a 4.8% increase in participants.
The IB celebrated these achievements, highlighting how students, over two years, gained valuable knowledge and skills to succeed in today’s world and positively impact their communities.
Graduates now join a network of over 2.7 million learners in 157 countries. The average global DP score for May 2025 was 30.58 points.
Olli-Pekka Heinonen, the IB’s Director General, praised students for their dedication and resilience. He emphasized the importance of the values and global mindset these students carry as they pursue higher education, careers, or community service.
IB graduates not only gain academic knowledge but also acquire the perspective needed to lead and serve. They are equipped to shape a better world, and their impact is already evident.
The DP provides a well-rounded education recognized worldwide, preparing students for university and beyond. Its curriculum, offered in over 795 IB World Schools in the Asia-Pacific and 177 schools in India, promotes critical thinking and ethical leadership.
Studies in 2023 confirmed that DP courses meet or exceed educational standards in countries like South Korea, Singapore, Australia, and others. These courses offer depth, breadth, and adaptability across different education systems.
A 2021 study found DP and CP students in five countries displayed higher global-mindedness compared to peers, showcasing the IB’s success in developing globally aware and responsible graduates.
The CP is expanding in the Asia-Pacific, with 82 schools offering it, including 41 in India. It suits students aged 16-19, blending academics with career-focused learning. The CP builds skills like confidence and responsibility, providing a practical path for students.
In May 2025, DP and CP students completed all assessments, and the IB assigned grades based on their coursework and exams.
