Earlier in the day, a formal notification was issued by BOSE directing all students to check their results through its official website at 5pm. The announcement created chaos among the people who were of the opinion that results will be declared anytime between 10th and 15th of January.
“I was confused as to what is happening, earlier the authorities said don’t pay heed to rumors on social media while the formal notification issued today left me dumb,” said Irshad Ahmad from Nowshehra whose daughter qualified with A1 grade.
