Before this update, the board had released 632,752 results from the April 16 examination. This brings the total number of results released so far to 1,897,692.
The development addresses complaints from candidates who had been waiting for the Friday batch. Many had expressed worry over the delay.
The spokesperson had earlier promised that the results would be out before midnight on Saturday but later apologised for the delay.
He explained that the board’s chief executive was unavailable at the time. He assured candidates that the results would be released before nightfall on Sunday.
The board also thanked candidates for their patience.
