Maharashtra SSC Result 2011 : Students left confused

The declaration of results of Secondary School Certificate examination has been enveloped in confusion. The confusion was further confounded earlier this week with students receiving messages on their mobiles stating that results will be declared on June 15.

The message, in fact, asks the students to visit the official website to check their results on June 15. However, a detailed search of the website did not indicate that results would be declared on June 15. The state government had set a June 15 deadline for declaration of SSC results.

Earlier, the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary education department had declared the Higher Secondary Certificate results a day earlier, however there is no sign on Secondary School Certificate results so far.

The mobile messages, on the other hand, spread like wild fire with parents and students scouring the official website to seek confirmation. Commenting on the spread of such messages, R. R. Bhise, Divisional Secretary, Mumbai Board said, " The state education department decides the date of declaration of result. After the authorities decide the date we receive an official letter stating the date.

Only after that, a formal announcement is made. However, we are yet to receive any such information from the state government and hence cannot confirm whether the results will be declared on June 15 or not." He further stated, "The messages which students are receiving are nothing but a prank. Students are on tenterhooks and some miscreants are creating panic by sending such SMS. Students will be given prior intimation of the date of declaration of results. Till then, students should not succumb to such fake messages."
