Mukim conceded that the strike by employees led to the delay in declaration of result, which was to be done on May 15. “The arts stream result gets usually delayed as the results of these two streams are released first. It creates problems for the children, but we are tied up because of shortage of manpower. We are planning to release the arts stream result by around May 30,” said Mukim.

Mukim attributed the drop to strict action taken against those indulging in malpractices. “We had deployed observers and magistrates.

Further, we ensured that there was no favouritism against illegal considerations during evaluation of the copies,” he said.
