Gujarat: Class XII Science results out today

AHMEDABAD: The state education board will declare the results of Class XII (science) board exams online on Sunday.
The marksheets of candidates will be posted on the official website of the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB), according to a press statement.
The exam results are usually declared in the first week of May. For the past many years, the Class XII (science) exam results were declared along with Gujarat Common Entrance Test (GUJCET) results.
“The physical marksheets for Class XII students will be handed over at a later date,” said a board official.
As many as 1.43 lakh candidates took the Class XII (science) exams. About 8,000 teachers took part in the evaluation process, held during the lockdown, across 57 exam-paper checking centres.
On Saturday, the state government erroneously issued a press statement congratulating students for their performance in the Class XII (science) exam. The error was rectified after the government issued a fresh statement saying that the results will be declared on Sunday.
The board had earlier released the provisional answer keys for multiple-choice questions for Class X, Class XII (science) and Class XII (general) board exams. The answer keys have been put on the board’s official website.
“For the biology Class XII (science) exam paper, if there were two correct answers for the multiple-choice questions, students who have chosen any one of them will be given full marks,” according to a board official.
A merit list for the candidates is drawn up by giving 40% weightage to percentile in GUJCET and 60% weightage to percentile in Class XII (science) board exams.
“The new date for conducting GUJCET is yet to be finalized,” said a source in the state government.
More than 1.25 lakh students from across the state are expected to take GUJCET.
The state-level exam is held annually for science students seeking admissions in degree engineering and pharmacy courses in government, grant-in-aid, and self-financed engineering institutions in Gujarat.
