VADODARA, June 15: Notwithstanding the declaration of the all-India results of the Class X examinations conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education on June 10, students of certain city-based schools are yet to receive their results, allegedly because of a delay on the part of the postal authorities.

In fact, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan is the only Vadodara-based school following the CBSE syllabus to have received the syllabus. Students of New Era High School, Kendriya Vidyalaya and Navrachana Higher Secondary School have not got their marksheets, though almost a week has elapsed since the results were declared.

A Navrachana High School student, who appeared for the examination this year, told Express Newsline, 8220;The schools are supposed to re-open on Friday, June 19, but we are yet to receive our results. quot;If we do not get them by the end of the week, we will not have the option of applying to other schools for the H Sc course.8221;

In fact, she said, the school authorities were side-stepping the question whenever asked about the results.

Another student of the school claimed that the delay in results had made the students lose all interest in them. He added, 8220;Some students of the school, on their own initiative, have already enquired about the results by getting in touch with the authorities of the board at Ajmer.8221;

Meanwhile, a member of a school students8217; parents8217; association claimed that the authorities of the various schools that had not received the results were not pursuing the matter in all seriousness. 8220;There are other ways of transmitting documents, but the school authorities insist on depending on ordinary post8221;, the parent complained.

The authorities of Navarachana School, however, said, 8220;The parents were holding the school authorities responsible for the delay without any reason.8221; They were constantly in touch with the zonal authorities at Ajmer, they added.

The authorities said that the schools had laid down policies for students8217; admissions too to ensure that the delay in the availability of results did not affect their admission into higher secondary courses.

Authorities of the Department of Post were not available for comment on the allegation that postal delays were holding up the results.
