We were told that class X result will be out on Tuesday and then it was declared on the website that it will be announced on Thursday. We have been waiting for it since morning. However, till the afternoon, the result portal was not accessible; anxiety and nervousness was at its peak. And then, the website crashed."
Regional head of CBSE, RJ Khanderoa said, "It was expected that the website will crash as all schools try to access the result portal at the same time."
