The state education board has tried several means of ensuring that SSC results are announced on time, including increasing the number of examiners and moderators. However, this has made little difference. as results still take 80 days to be released.

This year, with the introduction of a new re-examination session in July, the board has introduced a new assessment method. Instead of the usual, where examiners would carry bundles of answer sheets back to their homes, the board has now asked examiners to gather at allotted centres in the city where they have to check a designated number of answer sheets within a stipulated time-frame.
