The Board of Secondary Education, Manipur (BOSEM) Monday has promoted all the candidates who have submitted forms to appear in the HSLC Compartmental Examination 2020, to be conducted by the board. Dr Chithung Mary Thomas, secretary BOSEM said the decision was taken in view of the prevailing situation of COVID-19 pandemic in the state. The compartmental examination was earlier expected to be scheduled in August or the early part of September.
“The prevailing uncertain situation of the state is not conducive for holding the examination in August or early part of September. As such, there is a possibility of losing an academic year for the candidates if the examination is to be deferred further beyond August or September,” said the BOSEM secretary.
As many as 5,329 candidates who filled the forms to appear in the examination were declared pass against the total 5,389 candidates. The detailed results of the examination will be available in the Board of Secondary Education Websites, bosem.in, manresults.nic.in.
