Plus II exam results by May-end: Min

Bhubaneswar: Results of the Plus II examination conducted by the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) will be declared by May-end, school and mass education minister Samir Ranjan Dash said here on Sunday.
“Evaluation of answer sheets will begin from Monday and conclude on May 7. After completion of evaluation, the tabulation process will begin,” he said.
Evaluation of answer sheets will be done in 65 centres in offline mode and 39 in online mode. “The first phase of evaluation will continue till April 23 and the second phase of evaluation will be completed by May 7,” the minister said.
Elaborate arrangements have been made to make the evaluation process smooth. “We understand the need for timely declaration of results as students will apply for colleges,” said Dash.
Sources said the CHSE was worried as teachers of 622 colleges are on strike demanding equal pay for equal work, which might impact the evaluation process. However, the agitating teachers on Saturday announced they will join the evaluation duty.
