Imphal, June 01 2009: Thirty-nine Government schools have drawn blank in the result of the High School Leaving Certificate examination, 2009 which was declared by the Board of Secondary Education, Manipur yesterday even as 22 other Govt schools could not ensure appearance of their students in the examination.

According to an official source, a total of 7388 students from 225 Government schools appeared in the High School Leaving Certificate Examination, 2009 the result of which was declared yesterday.
