New Delhi, May 6 (IANS) Girls once again outperformed boys as the Central Board of Secondary Education announced the Class 10 results on Monday.

 On Sunday, CBSE public relations officer Rama Sharma dismissed the "unconfirmed fake news" that claimed CBSE Class 10 result will be out on May 5. Sharma added that the board “will inform students and schools of the date before declaring the CBSE results.”

Sharma’s statement said, "It is to inform all principals, students, parents and public that the CBSE Class 10 results will not be declared today. The CBSE will duly inform students about the date, time and arrangements to access results, through official communication."

The CBSE had sprung a surprise on May 2 by declaring Class 12 results without any prior notice. Speculation was rife that the CBSE will announce both the Class 10 and Class 12 results in the third week of May.
