While the deadline for uploading the results is July 23, teachers say heavy rain over the past few days and server problems have delayed their work

Aandhalkar added, “It is anyway difficult for teachers to reach their respective institutes for result-related work, especially in the urban parts of the state where transport has been severely affected. Over and above this, heavy rain in places like Mumbai and Thane has made it really difficult for teachers to commute. Furthermore, it is also leading to problems with Internet connections. Even the state board server was down from Tuesday night. It was restored on Wednesday afternoon after the teachers raised the issue. While the work has finally restarted, it is not likely to be completed by July 23.”

As per information provided by Aandhalkar, marks of 1 lakh students in Mumbai out of the total 3 lakh were yet to be uploaded on the server. He further said that the same figure for the whole state was 5 lakh out of the total 13 lakh students.
However, when contacted, secretary of the Maharashtra State Board, Dinkar Patil, said, “Initially the deadline was July 21 but it was later extended to July 23. About 82 per cent of the work is already complete and the remaining 18 per cent will be easily done within the deadline. In fact, maybe by tomorrow, it will be done. There is no need for a further extension.”
