Patna, May 15: Students who took Class X and XII examination, conducted by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), are keeping their fingers crossed as the countdown to the result day has begun. The results of both the examinations would be declared on May 17.
The Class X and XII examinations were held in February-March this year. Convener A.G. de Rozario said students of 17 city schools appeared for Class X examination while those of five schools appeared for Class XII exam.
“I am very concerned about the percentage of marks as most colleges where I have applied for admission want students with high marks,” said Rishabh, a class XII student of Don Bosco Academy, who is planning to pursue graduation in commerce stream.
He said the only exception was Banaras Hindu University, where students have to qualify in the common entrance test for admission.
Class X student Rashmi, who doesn’t want to share the name of her school, is virtually spending sleepless nights as her result would decide her future course. “I intend to pursue higher studies in Delhi but it can happen only if I get very good marks in Class X examination. As the d-day is nearing, my tension is increasing,” she said.
Aspiring to join the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), the girl from Patna is banking on her good performance in the examination. “God willing, my labour would not go in vain,” she said.
Shweta Marandi, a Class X student of Mount Carmel High School, too aspires to become an IAS officer but tension of result is making her restless. “Very difficult to handle the result tension,” she said, adding that scoring high marks is very important as that would decide her future course of career.
There are, however, few who appear very relaxed and confident of their performance in the examination. “No point being tense. Marks would be in accordance with one’s performance in the examination,” she said.
School authorities are happy with the release date of the results. “Timely declaration of results is a big thing as delay on this front causes many problems. CISCE, unlike other boards, is very particular about this fact and this gives us a big relief,” Rose Bud school principal M. Rizvi told The Telegraph.
