"In these exceptional cases, we are working with schools and colleges to deliver results as soon as possible.Pupils taking OCR Cambridge Technical qualifications have been affected by the delay

"We expect schools and colleges experiencing delays to receive their results by Saturday morning, and in many cases sooner. "We are working with UCAS and liaising directly with universities where necessary to ensure delays do not affect entry to higher education.""We are grateful to students, schools and colleges for their patience, and we are sorry for any additional stress this has caused," it continued.But one parent of a pupil in Northern Ireland who failed to receive their OCR results in Information Technology as expected on Thursday called the delay "unacceptable".

"Without this result universities have been unable to process his application and pupils are now left unsure whether or not they will be accepted onto their course," they told BBC News NI. "If they have to go through the UCAS clearing system they are at a disadvantage as others will have already been able to access courses."Instead of spending the day with each other celebrating or commiserating they are unable to do so as they await their results from OCR."
