The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to announce the result for the term 1 board exams by January 24, Monday, claim reports. Officials from CBSE informed News18.com that no date has been finalised yet. CBSE usually makes an official statement on result dates via Twitter only a day ahead of the D-day.
The Board had earlier said that students can expect results around January 15, however, the final result date is yet to be announced by the board. This is the marks-only result, implying, students will be given marks but no pass, repeat or compartment score will be announced this time.
Students can estimate their score ahead of results by the answer key released by the board. This was the first time ever that the board exams for both 10th and 12th were held in MCQ or multiple choice questions format. The CBSE had released answer keys for almost all subjects at cbse.nic.in. While many teachers claimed that there were errors in answer keys and the question papers, the answer key can still give an estimate their scores based on the same. The final answer key will be released along with results.
