Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 students will face a major challenge in the higher secondary classes, as most students failed to gather enough seriousness for the board examination, thanks to board’s leniency in paper setting.
CBSE Class10 board examinations concluded on Wednesday. Most students were cheerful and happy for the examination. However, their cheers and celebrations are likely to stay limited to Class 10 results.
CBSE eased down on the difficulty of the papers considering various factors including limitation in learning, hybrid classes and covid-19 second wave. While this is understandable, students were already aware of the same possibilities as well.
With easier test papers, hybrid classes and extra privileges, this batch of students has seen board examinations as ‘too easy’. School principals during their analysis and discussions found that most school students, except for toppers, have taken the exams too lightly.
Exams taken too lightly, lesson of hard work is must
“Students lacked the seriousness required for board examination. This batch is specially privileged due to covid-19 restrictions. It is perhaps for the first time that board examinations have been labelled as ‘easy’. CBSE generally balances the examination with a few tough and few easy papers. This year, the board has tried to ensure that most students can pass-out. Though it is essential, this will affect students in the long-term. The annual system will be reinstated from the next academic session. Higher secondary education isn’t easy. We hope they prepare and learn the lesson of hard work quickly.”

Learning lagged in online classes
“In schools, it is normal for students to discuss among themselves. They discuss various interests and often on their studies. Most students learn from their peers, which they cannot understand or clarify in the class. However, with online classes, that indirect natural revision and discussion was out of the picture. It will take time for students to bounce back and adapt to the old habit of attending Offline School.”

CBSE helpline finds students more relaxed
“This year, students were not anxious as usual. We did not get that many students feeling that the examination will be tough. We had some requests during the initial first few papers, but then students relaxed. The board like every year provided counseling through tele-counseling provided voluntarily by the principals and trained counsellors of CBSE affiliated schools through a toll-free number.The counselling was also given through suggestions and information through IVRS or Question and Answer Columns in national newspapers. The board also connected with students on social media.”
