He said: “It would also include those, who are yet to see their results since the end of the examinations in March till date and have not been involved in any form of malpractice. “It will also include those, who were unable to print out their e-slip before the earlier examinations and those whose centres were cancelled for suspected malpractices."
There are centres that were cancelled because of suspicious activities but the board was unable to identify the actual culprits."
