Students who have participated in this examination can check their scorecard immediately by visiting the official result portal of DigiLocker, results.digilocker.gov.in.
The ‘best’ score from the two exams will be considered.
The biggest relief that students have got from this new policy is that for the final result of the regular students who had appeared in both the examinations, the marks in which of the two examinations they have performed better in will be considered final. With this rule, the mental pressure of board exams has reduced to a great extent on the students.
