Results of High School Certificate (Matriculation) examinations, conducted by the Board of Secondary Education in February-March 2020, are likely to be published before July 31.
School and Mass Education Minister Samir Ranjan Dash hinted about this on Monday.
“Evaluation of Matric answer sheets has been completed, while tabulation work is now going on. Date of results will be announced very soon,” said the Minister.
Notably, over 5.5 lakh students have appeared for the HSC examinations this year.
While Matric results are usually published in May, this year it has been delayed due to Covid pandemic.
Regarding Plus Two results, the Minister said the evaluation of work is being delayed as evaluators are not turning up to evaluation centres in fear of Covid. Dash said he would soon write to the Chief Secretary who in turn would write to district Collectors for speeding up the evaluation process so that results can be as early as possible.
