This year, the results were delayed not only due to Assembly Elections in a few states but also because of the controversy surrounding the marks moderation policy.

While CBSE had decided to scrap marks moderation for Class 10th and Class 12th, the Delhi High Court directed it to continue the policy this year.

This was the last batch appearing for the optional board examination for Class X with the CBSE restoring the compulsory examination from next year.
