Students in the UAE are expressing concern over the delay in CBSE Class 12 results as many universities have started admissions to undergraduate programmes.

However, a recent advisory by the University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed varsities to fix the last date of undergraduate admissions after declaration of CBSE class 12 results.

Students who have visited say they have been turned down by Indian universities asking them to produce the CBSE board results.

Lamees Mohamed, outgoing student at Sharjah Indian School says, “I am planning to pursue BCom (Bachelor of Commerce) Finance in Kerala. We are worried that CBSE results not coming out in time will affect our college admissions. That’s mainly because in Kerala, most of the colleges give allotments depending on the board marks of the students. Since the State Boards have already published the results, many of the students have already applied for the admissions. If our result will be delayed any longer then it would be difficult for us to get seats in these colleges.”

Like Lamees, Ishaan Jigar Shah wants to study a course in his dream college.
