Solution

In the active form, the sentence is structured as "Her failure to get admission in the Science stream surprised us." To convert this into the passive form, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb "surprised" changes to its corresponding passive form "were surprised," and the preposition "about" remains unchanged.
