Bhaktapur: Guardians on Tuesday served a three-day ultimatum to the Higher Secondary Education Board to publish the results of Grade XII exams held in May. They have warned of stern protest if the board failed to publish the results within three days. The guardians had picketed the HSEB office on Monday to exert pressure on officials to publish results at the earliest, saying their wards could miss application deadlines due to delay in the results. Suprabhat Bhandari, president of the Guardians’ Association-Nepal, said, “The students have already missed entrance exams in several institutes due to delay in results. We have therefore asked HSEB officials to announce the results within three days.” He said delay in results could lead to loss of an academic year for students as many universities have already started classes for bachelor’s level.
