Timing A Problem As Admission Process Has Begun For State Board Students
If lack of clarity on a date for CBSE Class XII exam results had got students and parents worked up, the decision to moderate marks, following Tuesday's Delhi high court order, has only increased fears of a further delay in the results.While the court's order was welcomed by many students, the timing does not seem to have gone down well with several parents who are worried about admissions.
Most colleges in Tamil Nadu began admissions on May 12, soon after the state board results were out. Some institutions have kept the window open for CBSE students, while some like Loyola College and MOP Vaishnav said they halted admissions on May 22 and would resume after the CBSE results were declared. Most col leges will be car rying out admis sions till June. A few are yet to is sue a deadline.
For many stu dents, however, it is not the window of admissions but the availability of seats that is a big ger concer n as state board stu dents would have taken a major chunk.
“I don't know how much of a difference moderation will make now but if they had done this a little sooner it would have definitely made life easier for students. Especially for students who are only waiting for these results to proceed with their counselling in engineering. This is making children tense and could have been avoided“ said Manjula J, a parent.
A former CBSE officer said the moderation process was quick and felt it would not delay results.“Since the entire process is computer generated, the process will not take too long,“ echoed Ajeeth Prasad Jain, senior principal of Bhavan's Rajaji Vidyashram and CBSE board member.
Ramesh Swaminathan, another parent, said the uncertainty of results, more than anything else, had been an unhealthy trend for years and was keeping all concerned on tenterhooks. For some students, getting the moderated marks will be crucial even if it means a delay in results or admissions. Anjali, a Class XII student of Schram Academy , said: “The scrapping of the policy might just be a ripple in a puddle for the board but it is an indefinite tsunami for the student. This was the right step taken to demolish the pessimistic actions that may ruin a child's academic future,“ she said.
Yash, another student, said that CBSE results were usually expected at the end of May and another week's delay was not likely to affect college admissions much. “It will be helpful for those who get average marks as it increases the marks,“ he said.
