Consistency clicks in Covid-hit year

BHOPAL: With 99.47% pass results, CBSE Bhopal region Class 10 results were declared on Tuesday. Three students-Vanisha Pathak (Carmel Convent), Toshika Kamble (DPS) and Mansi Manwani (St Joseph’s Convent) secured 99.8% each.

This year, the CBSE Class 10 board exams were cancelled in view of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Further, the CBSE Class 10 results have been calculated using the evaluation criteria set by the board. For Class 10 students, the standard 80:20 marking criteria was followed this year, where 80% weightage was for unit tests and pre-boards while 20 per cent was for the practical and project work.

School toppers said that consistency in studies helped them score such a good mark. “Disciplined approach and consistent studies was my success mantra. I am happy that the strategy paid me such dividends,” said Mansi Manwani, a student of St Joseh’s Convent, Idgah Hills. Her father Suresh Manwani is a professor in govt polytechnic.

She added, “I have missed the final exams. I am confident of scoring the same even in exams also as my preparation was up to the mark.” Another topper, Vanisha Pathak said that students should never take studies casually at any point of time.

“I am able to score such good marks as I was consistent. I have never taken any exam or class academics casually. I think that has helped such a good score even without exams,” said Vanisha. She was a student of Carmel Convent, BHEL.

Asked about her schedule, Vanisha said, “Proper time management while preparing for exams helped me as I was scoring good marks in all unit and pre-board exams. I am thankful to my school teachers and blessings of my family who have been there in all ups and downs.”

Toshika Kamble of DPS who secured 99.8% said that academics in the right direction helped her score such a mark.

“I have always been attentive in online classes and never missed any kind of exams in the class. For me this was the success mantra of scoring good marks as I was consistent in class academics,” said Toshika.

The board will not release the merit list year. The CBSE Class 10 exams that were scheduled to be organised on May 4 were called off due to the devastating second wave of Covid in the country. Students who are aggrieved with the results would be allowed to appear for an exam to be held by the board.
