SSLC exam results likely before June 30

Thiruvananthapuram: Results of SSLC examinations concluded on May 28 are likely to be announced by the state general education department before June 30.
Following the outbreak of Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdown, the original schedule for SSLC examinations had to be revised by the government. As per the original schedule, the SSLC examinations were to be held from March 10 to 26. However, following the health crisis, three of the last examinations had to be postponed to May last week.
“Efforts are on to collate the marks and combine the results as early as possible so that result could be ready before June 30. However, no specific date has so far been fixed as to when the result should be finally announced,” said sources close to the developments.
Since majority of examinations had concluded in March itself, the evaluation process was also carried out in a staggered manner. “Collation of marks are being done in evaluation centres itself. So it won’t take too many days to prepare the result once the evaluation is over,” said another source.
Close to 4.25 lakh students have attended the examination this year. Evaluation of SSLC answer books are being held in 54 camps. Following the social distancing norms and travel restrictions, SSLC examinations were held under strict vigil. Elaborate arrangements were made to ensure that health aspects of students are not compromised. In the second phase of the examination, students were given permission to change examination centres and around 2,000 students had availed this facility.
