Hundreds of students remain in “limbo” and in the dark about whether they have secured a university place due to delays with exam results.

Some pupils who sat Btec (Business and Technology Education Council) exams are still waiting for results, which they should have received on Thursday alongside hundreds of thousands of their peers.

Exam board Pearson has apologised for the disruption, which an education leader said had caused great anxiety for students.

Students across the country received A-level, Btec and T-level exam results last week, but some Btec students faced delays which have dragged on through the weekend.
