Pune: Students of Class 12 are eagerly awaiting for their results even as the Supreme Court ordered the state government to declare it before July 31. However, due to the flood situation in the state, colleges and their faculty were not able to complete the evaluation process given by the state education department to declare the results.

As the Covid cases were on the rise, Class 12 and 10 board examinations were canceled this year by the state government. While the evaluation of marks for the students was set through a formula given by the government in which Class 10, 11 and 12 internal evaluation marks will be considered. According to the formula, 30 per cent each for Class 10 and 11 evaluation and 40 per cent for Class 12 evaluation is set to declare the results.

“The Class 12 results are expected to be declared in the first week of the August and the main reason behind it is the floods that happened in the state. Many teachers who were in the work of evaluation are been affected and it has delayed the process,” said a senior education officer from the state education department on anonymity.

The plans to declare the Class 12 results have been postponed because of floods and landslide in Konkan, Kolhapur and various other parts of the state. Teachers in the flood-affected parts are still to complete the assessment and evaluation work of students and so the results will be declared late. The Supreme Court of India had instructed the state government to declare Class 12 results before July 31 which seems to be impossible now.

“The process of class 12 students’ evaluation is going on and we are particulary focusing on the online results declaration process. Last time, during the Class 10 results declaration, our website crashed, so now I am personally monitoring the Class 12 results work and taking continuous follow-ups. We have also made alternate arrangements for the website if it gets any technical issues on the results declaration day,” said Vishal Solanki, state education commissioner.
