Conclusion

Therefore, the fact check by DFRAC clearly shows that the Gujarat Board Class 10^th result has not been released yet. According to media reports, the results are expected to be announced on May 11, 2025. Meanwhile, politicians Akhilesh Yadav and Arvind Kejriwal shared an old news report from May 2023 on the Gujarat Board Class 10^th results.

Hence, the claim made by the political leaders is misleading.
