Newmai News Network Shillong | May 23 The leakage of the Meghalaya Board of School Education (MBoSE) SSLC results 2017 (top 20 merit list) which attracted criticisms from various quarters is owed to technical snag that occurred while sharing the results with NIC (National Informatics Centre) on Monday night. According to the MBoSE executive Chairman Pravin Bakshi, a meeting was held between the board and the state government Tuesday to discuss this serious issue. During the meeting, the state government has asked the Education secretary, Walpeelter Roy Lyngdoh to conduct an enquiry into the matter and to submit the report within 10 days. Bakshi also informed that according to the preliminary report, it was suggested that a technical snag had occurred while sharing the results with other associated links. “However, we will wait for the final report to be submitted by the education secretary before we decide on any further action,” Bakshi said. It may be mentioned that the top 20 merit list of the SSLC results 2017 was leaked and went viral on social media causing much displeasure and embarrassment to MBoSE. Meanwhile, reactions have emerged from several quarters of the society on the goof up, who are all shocked and puzzled. The Principal of St George School, Nongmynsong, Simon Joseph from which the topper in Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) emerged was of the view that the leak has cost them the charm of yester years by blowing the lid off the suspense that adds to the excitement before the official declaration of the results. “It is unfortunate that such a thing happened. I would always go to MBoSE office at 9 am for the result but this time around I got to know about it at 10.30 pm last (Monday) night,” said the Principal further adding, “This year’s result has lost its charm. The shine is taken away.”
