Candidates interested in revaluation or review for answer sheets can apply online by depositing Rs 1,000 and Rs 800 respectively, with the condition that the candidate must have secured a minimum of 20 per cent marks in the concerned subject, the statement said.
Addressing the media persons here, Secretary HPBOSE, Vishal Sharma informed 13,574 candidates failed the examination and 5,563 were placed in the compartment category.
The Class 10 examinations were conducted from March 4 to March 22 across 2,300 examination centres set up throughout the state. Exams in the tribal regions of Lahaul-Spiti and Pangi were conducted on alternate schedules due to logistical reasons.
Sharma added that with the result now declared, students can access their mark sheets on the official HPBOSE website and other authorised platforms.
This year, students can also download their certificates directly from DigiLocker, a significant improvement over previous years when students had to wait days after the result announcement to receive their official documents, he added.
