The MPBSE had announced the results of its High and Higher Secondary Examinations on April 24. Around 62.7 lakh students had taken the Class 12 examination, of which 64 % have cleared the examination. Of the 99 lakh that wrote the Class 10 examination, 58.10 % were declared successful.
Students who have cleared the Class 12 examination are mainly asking about the career options available to them including which competitive examinations they can take. The Class 10 pass outs are seeking help in deciding the stream they should choose in Class 11.
On the other hand, the unsuccessful students want to know the procedure for applying for retotalling. The MPBSE does not allow revaluation of answer sheets. The students are also making enquiries about the Ruk Jana Nahin scheme of the state government, which allows them to take the special examination conducted by the MP Open Board.
