While schools have been ordered to close classrooms and go back to online teaching, students have mixed reactions to this. On one hand, they miss being in classrooms sharing jolly banters with friends, and on the other hand they are concerned about their health.
For students of CBSE class 10 and 12, the situation is something very different. These students had recently appeared for their board exams and are waiting for the results. This is the first time the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is holding annual board exams in two terms. The first term has already been held and the second term is subject to the prevailing condition of COVID-19 during March-April. For the first time, the CBSE is holding the exams in a multiple-choice format where students had to mark the answers in OMR sheets instead of writing it down. This explains why CBSE students are too excited and nervous at the same time for their results.
Students can be seen posting their concerns on microblogging platforms like Twitter and requesting the Board to announce an exam result date.
The CBSE is yet to announce a result date.
So while, the CBSE decides the result declaration date, here are certain activities that can keep the students busy:
Explore internet: With online teaching, students have an easy access to internet and smartphones. So instead of idling the time away, students should utilise it to explore the internet. They can explore websites, and channels related to their hobbies and interests.
Join a free online class: After the onset of the pandemic, when teaching-learning shifted online, many organisations started giving courses and course packages free of cost. Students can join these courses and learn things absolutely for free. After all, extra knowledge does no harm.
Self-study: Be it pandemic time or before it, self study has always been the prime strategy of every student. Students should prepare a time table and give ample of time for self study. In this, they ca either practice the older syllabus of term 1 or else can try to proceed with the term 2 new syllabus.
Watch movies: Though usually students are told to avoid TV, watching movies actually has proven benefits. Watch those movies which have an educational purpose, and those which would give you an insight on the things that interest you. For example, if you are someone who loves pets then watch movies like Hachiko, Beethoven.
Meanwhile, CBSE students can check websites like cbseresults.nic.in, cbse.gov.in for result related updates.
