The first term board examination results for Classes 10 and 12 are still being processed, said Central Board of Secondary Education Controller of Examinations Sanyam Bhardwaj. He told The Hindu that the board was taking time to ensure that the large volume of data from the answer sheets were correct.
The board examination process was split into two this academic year to mitigate the effect of COVID-related shutdowns which have disrupted exam schedules for the last two years. The first term exams covering half of the reduced syllabus were held between November 17 and December 30. Given that these exams were entirely in objective format, with answer sheets in optical mark recognition (OMR) format, results were expected by mid-January. With the academic year almost over and the second term exams expected next month, many students are worried about the indefinite delay in result declaration.
