Odisha's Matriculation Results Set for May: What Students Need to Know

Announcement of Matriculation Results

In Cuttack, the Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha, has announced that the results for the High School Certificate (HSC) Examination, commonly referred to as the Matriculation or Class-X board exam, are anticipated to be released in the second week of May, as confirmed by BSE President Srikant Tarai on Tuesday.

Tarai mentioned that the evaluation process for answer sheets commenced on March 19 and proceeded smoothly overall.

However, there was a brief pause in the evaluation for three days due to overlapping exam schedules. Although the initial target was to finish by March 30, the completion was pushed to April 3 or 4.

The board aims to announce the results by mid-May to facilitate timely applications for higher education for students.

Student-Friendly Measures

In a positive move for students, Tarai revealed that the BSE has decided to grant grace marks in the Science paper. He assured that the Examination Committee's decision is beneficial for students, alleviating any concerns.

To ensure a smooth results process, Tarai highlighted the use of both technological and manual support. He noted that watermarking was implemented in the question papers to maintain exam integrity.

Additionally, the integration of AI and other monitoring systems has effectively prevented leaks of question papers and similar issues.

Accessing the Results

Over 550,000 students participated in the Class-X examinations, which concluded last month. The evaluation of their answer sheets is currently underway at various centers across the state, all under strict supervision.

Tarai reassured that the Board is committed to ensuring accurate and transparent results.

Once the results are published, they will be accessible on the official BSE website, where students can check their scores using their roll numbers.

The BSE has advised students and their families to stay calm and rely solely on official announcements for updates.
