“This is also a way of fair hearing from the affected candidates or schools- to give them the opportunity to defend themselves.
“So, candidates can go to the portal using the link earlier given and supply their details. By that, they will be able to know the exact offence they committed and warrant the seizure of their results.
“Candidates or schools at that point can request for their papers in question and prove their innocence with evidence of case or cases reported against them.”
