46th BCS results may come out today; 50th not on the agenda

The Public Service Commission (PSC) met to approve publication of the 46th BCS final results, and release today appears likely. Uncertainty remains over publishing the 50th BCS preliminary results.

A PSC source said the full-commission meeting has the 46th BCS result on its agenda, but the 50th prelim is not listed, so it may not be released today. Asked for comment, PSC Chairman Prof Mobasher Monem told The Daily Campus, “I cannot say anything right now on releasing the 46th and 50th BCS results; we need a bit more time.” Another PSC official, requesting anonymity, said, “The 50th BCS is not on the agenda, but if results are ready the full commission could decide. The 46th BCS result will be published today.”
