Class 10 and Class 12 students of the Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education (CGBSE) can expect their 2020 board exam results to be declared today at 11 am, reported Hindustan Times. The results were earlier scheduled to be announced on 26 June.
The results will be announced via press conference. The students can download the provisional marksheets from the websites- cgbse.nic.in and results.cg.nic.in.
The CGBSE board had scheduled the exams in March 2020 but the exams were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent nationwide lockdown. Eventually, the CGBSE board decided not to conduct the pending Class 10 and Class 12 exams as the lockdown got extended.
Students were marked on internal assessment for the pending board exams and graded accordingly.
This year, the board had also mandated that Class 10 and Class 12 students will not receive additional answer sheets during exams.
Almost 3.84 lakh students had registered for the Class 10 exams and over 2.66 lakh students had registered for the Class 12 exams. The overall pass percentage in 2019 for Class 12 was 78.43 percent while the Class 10 pass percentage was 68.2 percent.
