The examination body said the results of 48,855 students have been withheld due to various cases of examination malpractice.
Some of the candidates are alleged to have brought foreign material such as prepared notes, printed material and mobile phones to the examination hall.
Others are collusion among candidates and planned cheating which occurred with the connivance of some supervisors and school authorities.
