Haryana Board withdraws HBSE Class 10 exam result over merit list goof-up, suspends 2 employees

The Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH) withdrew the results of the Class 10 board examinations over an incorrect merit list, hours after announcing it on Monday.

In the original merit list issued by the board, Monika Rani of Fatehabad was declared as the topper with 493 marks out of 500, followed by Rupesh of Bhiwani with 491 marks. The third position was shared by 4 candidates, all of whom scored 490 marks each, it said.
