:: CBSE Class XII results 2014 to be announced today ::

As students and their parents wait with bated breath, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is likely to declare the Class 12 results for the northern region on Tuesday, 27 May.

The board had announced the Class 12 results for Chennai and Trivandrum regions on Monday.

Amid rumours that the board would declare the results for all the regions on Monday, CBSE spokesperson Rama Sharma told HT on Sunday that it would not be announced on Monday.

She said the board would announce the results “very soon and the media would be duly informed about it”.
Last year, the board had declared the Class 12 results on May 27.

This year, examinations began in March but were extended till April 25 due to the Lok Sabha elections, with CBSE even rescheduling some papers.

Over 10 lakh candidates, including 6,03,064 boys and 4,26,810 girls, across the country had registered for the examination this year, which was an overall increase of 9.32% from last year, when 9,42,035 students had registered for the exams.

In JEE (mains) final rankings, crucial for non-IIT institutes, Class 12 results make up for 40% of the marks while JEE (mains) score account for the remaining 60%.

Students can view their results on the official CBSE website (http://cbseresults.nic.in/) by logging in using their roll numbers. The results can also be checked through SMS and IVRS.
