Chandigarh, May 17:- Chandigarh Administration has decided that e-Sampark Centres in collaboration with National Informatics Center (NIC) would provide access to the students with regard to the results of class 10th and 12th of CBSE as and when the same will be declared by CBSE. Since all the e Sampark Centres are already functioning as Jan Sampark Centres, these 8 centres will open at 6.00 AM on the day of the result as compared to the regular timing of 8.00 AM. This will help the students to have access to the result at the click of the mouse and this service will be available to the students at a nominal price of Rs. 2 per print out of the result sheet.
