Thousands of students and their families had to wait for additional 4-5 hours to see the results due to the technical problems in the computer systems at the OCE.

Though the Office had announced to give results after 4:00 PM in the afternoon, it couldn't publish it before 8:00 PM in the evening, and the official website of OCE was not functional till 10:30 PM in the evening.
