Bhaktapur: The Office of the Controller of Examinations (OCE), Sanothimi, is making preparations to publish the results of School Leaving Certificate (SLC) Exams 2069 within two days.

Currently, the OCE is entering students numbers into the main server at the office. Prahlad Aryal, deputy controller at the OCE, today said they are rechecking the numbers entered into the server. “The numbers entered into the server for the first time can be erroneous, therefore we need to recheck it all to make the results error-free,” he said adding, “Once we finish rechecking, announcing the results will not take much time.”

According to Aryal, they will complete the preparatory works tomorrow or a day after tomorrow.

“Most probably, we will publish the results by Tuesday. Our aim is to publish the results as soon as possible,” he added. Last year, the OCE had published result on June 13. An officer at the OCE said they aim to publish the results earlier this year.
