BSE Odisha class 10 result declared

NEW DELHI: The Board of Secondary Education, Odisha, on Friday said 97.89 percent of students have passed Class 10 while declaring the results for the first time without holding the annual examinations.

School and Mass Education Minister S R Dash announced the results of the High School Certificate (class 10), State Open School Certificate, and the Madhyama examination at the BSE head office in Cuttack. The Board could not conduct the examinations this year in the wake of the pandemic. While 40 percent weightage was given to the highest marks obtained in class 9 in each subject, the remaining 60 percent was based on the practice tests conducted in class 10.
