ABP News Bureau — Wed, 13 May 2026 14:10:37 +0530

The long wait for millions of students has finally ended as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has officially declared the Class 12 board examination results. The announcement has brought relief and anticipation across the country, especially among students who were eagerly waiting to check their performance after months of preparation and examination stress. This year’s result announcement follows a similar timeline to the previous academic cycle, with results being released around mid-May. As soon as the results were published, students across different streams—Science, Commerce, and Humanities—started checking their scores through official online platforms due to heavy traffic on result portals. Initial trends suggest that overall performance has remained stable compared to previous years, with expectations of strong performances in key subjects across streams. However, detailed statistics such as pass percentage, gender-wise performance, and regional toppers are yet to be officially highlighted in full detail by the board. Education experts note that the evaluation process this year included updated assessment practices, including a mix of digital and structured evaluation methods, aimed at improving transparency and consistency in marking. This has been closely watched by students and schools alike, as it reflects a shift toward more standardized and technology-assisted evaluation systems. The declaration of results marks an important milestone for students, as Class 12 outcomes play a crucial role in college admissions, competitive examinations, and career planning. Universities and higher education institutions are expected to begin their admission processes shortly after the result announcement. Students are advised to download their digital mark sheets from official CBSE platforms and verify all details carefully. Schools will later issue official hard copies of marksheets and passing certificates as per the board’s schedule.

Breaking: CBI Enters National Testing Agency Office Amid NEET Probe

ABP News Bureau — Wed, 13 May 2026 14:00:48 +0530

The NEET paper leak controversy has intensified further as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has now reached the office of the National Testing Agency (NTA). The development comes at a time when the NEET examination has already been cancelled, leaving nearly 23 lakh students across the country in uncertainty and raising serious questions about the integrity of the examination system. According to on-ground reports, CBI officials entered the NTA premises to examine documents, digital records, and internal communication linked to the alleged paper leak. The investigation is being seen as a crucial step in tracing the origin of the leak and identifying the network responsible for compromising one of India’s largest medical entrance examinations. The controversy has sparked nationwide protests and political debate. Student organisations, including the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), were seen demonstrating outside the NTA office, demanding strict action against those responsible and transparency in the ongoing investigation. Protesters emphasized that the issue goes beyond politics and directly affects the future of millions of aspirants. While authorities have assured a thorough investigation, concerns remain among students and parents about whether the probe will lead to concrete accountability or remain limited to procedural action. The scale of the alleged irregularities has also raised questions about systemic failures in exam management and oversight. Officials have maintained that the investigation is in its early stages and all angles are being examined, including possible internal lapses and external involvement in the leak. Further findings from digital forensics and interrogation are expected to play a key role in determining the direction of the case.

Breaking: Suvendu Adhikari to Retain Bhabanipur Seat, Leave Nandigram

ABP News Bureau — Wed, 13 May 2026 13:48:34 +0530

In a significant political development in West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari has decided to continue as the Member of Legislative Assembly from the Bhabanipur constituency while vacating the Nandigram seat ahead of the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections. The move marks an important shift in his electoral strategy, as he had secured victories from both Bhabanipur and Nandigram in the previous electoral contest. Nandigram has traditionally been considered a strong political base for Suvendu Adhikari, where he built his early influence and established deep organisational roots. However, Bhabanipur gained national political significance as it is the constituency of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, making Adhikari’s victory there a symbolic political moment in West Bengal’s electoral landscape. By choosing to retain Bhabanipur, Adhikari appears to be consolidating his political presence in one strategically important constituency rather than dividing focus between two seats. Political observers view this decision as a calculated move ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, potentially aimed at strengthening party positioning and voter engagement in key urban segments. The decision also means that a by-election or party-level replacement process may be initiated for the vacant Nandigram seat, depending on electoral procedures and party strategy. Within political circles, the move is being interpreted as part of a broader realignment in West Bengal politics, where both ruling and opposition parties are actively preparing for the 2026 electoral battle. Supporters and analysts are closely watching the implications of this decision, especially in terms of how it may influence voter sentiment in both constituencies. While Bhabanipur remains politically sensitive due to its high-profile representation, Nandigram continues to hold symbolic value in the state’s political narrative.

ABP News Bureau — Wed, 13 May 2026 13:43:43 +0530

The death of Prateek Yadav has triggered widespread public attention and multiple conflicting claims regarding the circumstances leading to his demise. According to hospital authorities, Prateek Yadav was brought to the Civil Hospital in Lucknow in a critical condition, where doctors declared him “brought dead” after examining him. Medical officials stated that vital signs were absent at the time of admission, and immediate legal and procedural formalities were initiated, including police intimation and postmortem examination at KGMU under a panel of doctors. The postmortem process was conducted under strict supervision, including the presence of senior medical experts and video documentation. Samples have been preserved for detailed forensic analysis, and the final postmortem report is expected to provide clarity on the exact cause of death. Officials have indicated that preliminary inputs from medical examination do not currently confirm any poisoning, while further forensic results are awaited. Meanwhile, various political reactions and public statements have added multiple layers of speculation around the case. Some leaders have demanded a high-level judicial inquiry, citing the sudden nature of the death and raising concerns based on unverified inputs from supporters. However, hospital administration has denied such claims, urging the public to wait for the official medical report before drawing conclusions. Separately, reports have also highlighted that Prateek Yadav had been undergoing treatment for a serious health condition in the past, and had previously been admitted to a private hospital. He was reportedly suffering from a pulmonary-related illness, which is known to affect lung function due to blood clot formation in pulmonary arteries, leading to severe complications in some cases. Authorities have emphasized that all conclusions must be based on the postmortem and forensic findings, which remain pending. The investigation continues, and further updates are expected once official reports are released.
