The statement said the entire results of seven candidates had been withheld pending the conclusion of investigations into alleged examination malpractices, adding that those withheld results would be released as soon as the council concluded its investigation.
A total of 11,886 candidates made up of 6,886 and 5,000 males and females respectively sat the examination which was written at 41 centres throughout the country.
