CHENNAI – The Tamil Nadu Directorate of Government Examinations (TNDGE) has officially activated the result portals for the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) and Higher Secondary Examination (HSE). Millions of students across the state can now access their scores for the 2026 academic year, marking a pivotal moment for those seeking admission into Class 11 and undergraduate programs.
A Staggered Release for Stability
To manage the heavy digital traffic from over 18 lakh students, TNDGE implemented a staggered release schedule. The Class 12 (HSE) results were made available in the morning session, followed by the Class 10 (SSLC) results in the afternoon. This strategy ensured that the official servers remained stable, providing a frustration-free experience for parents and students alike.
