HSC exam results by next week

Thiruvananthapuram: The state higher secondary and vocational higher secondary examination results would be declared by the middle of next week.
General education department was planning to announce the results by July 10. However, the triple lockdown in the capital city and the severe restrictions that followed have forced the department to postpone the announcement date.
“We were planning to announce the results by July 10. However, work related to the same and the meetings in that connection could not be completed following the total shut down in Thiruvananthapuram district. We hope, the result could be announced in the week that follow. Final decision on the date would be taken once the triple lockdown is lifted,” said general education secretary A Shajahan. Sources say the result could be out by Wednesday, if there comes up no further impediments.
The higher secondary examinations were to be conducted in two schedules in March and May following the outbreak of Covid pandemic and the restrictions that followed.
Meanwhile, the state government is going ahead with plans for conducting state entrance examination on July 16. tnn
