CBSE Results stalemate - Stressing or Distressing

New Delhi: As it is well known, nearly 10 lakh students appeared in
the Class 10 & Class 12 Board examinations conducted by the Central
Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) this year.

As a natural phenomenon, students remain anxious about the results.
Every year the CBSE, declares firm dates about the declaration of the
results which is normally the second fortnight of May.

This year some parts of the media had reported that the results would
be announced on May 16 and after that there has been various non-firm
dates reported in various sections of the media, bringing in lot of
anxiety and stress amongst the students.

Even till today no firm dates have been announced by the CBSE and
anxious students are crawling pillar to post of the web throughout the
day.

Even though NNE through its specially setup channel
www.CBSE.ExamResults.net has been trying to keep students updated
about the time of declaration of results, we have not been able to get
any firm and even our efforts of contacting CBSE officials has not
yielded any results.

It is surprising to see while the CBSE on one hand sets up helplines
to relieve the students of the exam result related stress - it has
probably failed to visualize the stress which the uncertainty about
the declaration of results is causing to the students. A premier
national agency like CBSE should have clearly set times about such
important events in the larger interest of the student community.
