Yudhvir Singh, a student of VN Senior Secondary School, Rania, in Sirsa district, has topped the Class-10 exam of the Haryana Board of School Education by scoring 499 out of 500 marks. The overall pass percentage stood at 50.49%.

HBSE chairman Jagbir Singh on Monday said due to a technical error there was a “goof-up” in compilation of the results, but that was rectified and a revised merit list was issued. He said the Board calculated the results of best of five subjects though each student had appeared in six papers.

A total of 1,023 students have secured 100 out of 100 marks in any of the given subjects but the automated system of computer did not count these marks. It led to error in compilation of results, he added.
