Ranchi, March 1: It was testing times for students of CBSE Class X and Class XII as they sat for their first board exam paper today.
As many as 28,500 candidates of Class
XII took the physics test on Day I while the Class X examinees tackled
questions in regional language.
Regional officer
of CBSE, Bihar and Jharkhand, M.V.V. Prasada Rao said overall, the
examinations passed off peacefully without any hitch or untoward
incident in both the states.
According to
figures provided by the CBSE regional office, Patna, there are 69
examination centres for both Class X and XII examinations across the
state.
The examination
centres in the state capital are Jawahar Vidya Mandir (JVM), Shyamali,
Delhi Public School (DPS), Surendranath Centenary School, DAV Public
School, Gandhinagar, DAV Public School, Bariatu and Kendriya Vidyalaya.
Though examinees and their parents appeared tense before the exams, the papers proved to be easy.
A Class XII
examinee, Naina Sinha, who came out from Surendranath Centenary School
breathed a sigh of relief. “All the questions were based on the
syllabus. The paper was quite easy,” said Naina.
However, this
year, the Class X examinees are more relaxed as a majority of them have
opted for the special format — the school-based examination, summative
assessment-II.
Officials at the
Patna office informed that 34,394 students were appearing for the Class X
boards from Jharkhand, adding that CBSE had decided to issue uniform
certificates to all students irrespective of whether they were assessed
by the board or by the school.
In Surendranath
Centenary School, 212 students appeared for the Class XII test today.
Principal of the school Samita Sinha said altogether there were 144
students in Class X.
Of them, 26 are
appearing for the boards while the rest have opted for the school-based
examination, which will start after March 15.
Sinha said those sitting for the Class X test were likely to change their board after the examination.
“From our school, many students will be transferred to another board,” the principal said.
Sinha added that the Class XII examinees of the school were happy with today’s paper as they could answer all the questions.
Principal of Kairali School Rajan Verghese said 154 students were appearing for the Class XII board examination this year.
“From Class X, nine students are appearing for the boards while 133 will be taking the school-based examination,” he added.
The principal of
Delhi Public School, J. Mohanty, added: “From our centre, around 972
students are appearing in the Class XII exam.”
The officials of JVM, Shyamali, informed that 756 students were taking for the tests from their centre.
On March 3, students of Class XII will write their business studies paper.

Odisha notched up top honours
CBSE Class X: Odisha tops eastern region
BHUBANESWAR: Odisha notched up top honours in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class X examination by securing a whopping 99.48 pass percentage, highest in the eastern zone. Also in keeping with the trend, girls outshone boys.
� The results
were announced on Thursday afternoon after keeping students on their
toes as the online declaration took two more hours. Due to technical
glitch, the results, expected at 4 pm, were available only after 6 pm.
As
many as 13,644 students had appeared in CBSE examination in the State
out of which 13,573 students passed, taking the pass percentage close to
99.5 per cent.
�The students
performed exceedingly well not only in comparison to the previous year
but also in the Bhubaneswar region which includes two neighbouring
states. The pass percentage of Chhattisgarh was 99.13 and West Bengal
stood at 98.95.
�“This year, the
performance of the students form Odisha has been better than the two
other states in the zone. Another good news is that the girls have yet
again outshone the boys in terms of quality,” said CBSE joint secretary
and regional officer MVV Prasada Rao.
�At
least 18,884 girls in the Eastern Zone had appeared for the CBSE
examination this year. The percentage of girls scoring 75 per cent and
above was 47.36, whereas it was 41.92 for boys.
�The
Board has done away with the percentage scoring pattern beginning this
year and has brought in the grade system in its place. Most of the
students scored grade A or A+. After CBSE changed the evaluation format
to Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE), the trend of toppers
has vanished.
�“We got rid of the
marking system as it was the major reason for stress among the students.
It did not matter if the students scored 98 per cent, just securing one
mark less than the topper was always discouraging, not celebrated
because he failed to be the topper,” explained Rao. The CCE format of
evaluation eliminates any such discrimination.
�It
was also found that the students from the Jawaharlal Navodaya Vidyalaya
in the State performed better than other schools with around 66.48 per
cent students scoring distinction and above.
�They
were followed by the students of Kendriya Vidyalaya where around 41.76
per cent students scored above 75 per cent. Around 43.28 per cent of the
students of the independent schools combined have scored more than
distinction.
�It was also found out
that this year more students preferred to take the examinations
conducted and evaluated by the schools instead of the CBSE as compared
to the last year.

Book on scientific study techniques
Chennai
Book on scientific study techniques
It is written by J. N. Reddy, director, MAX Academy for Excellence
CHENNAI: A book with ‘100 super scientific study techniques’ was
released by M.V.V. Prasada Rao, joint secretary, CBSE Southern Region,
here on Thursday.
Titled ‘How to Excel in Studies & Score High Marks,’ the book is written by J.N. Reddy, director, MAX Academy for Excellence.
An accusation levelled against the Indian system of education was that it was too exam-oriented, said Mr. Reddy. Indians, themselves, have proved this wrong at organisations like NASA, Microsoft and IBM, he said. However, an increased emphasis on lateral and creative thinking was required. The study tips in the book were simple and practical, covering all aspects of the process of studying. Constantly sipping water, sitting upright, not studying at a stretch for more than an hour and studying several subjects in successive sessions rather than the same subject were some of the tips he gave the audience. Mr. Rao said that programming one’s activities systematically and creating a scholastic environment in schools were of vital importance for scoring high marks.
Y.G. Parthasarathy, dean and director, PSBB Group of Schools, said she would like to prescribe the book for students preparing for their public examinations. Kishore Kumar, senior principal, St. John’s School and C. Satish, Principal, DAV Boys’ School, felicitated the author for having written the book in simple and accessible English.

Though the Central Board of Secondary Education has made it compulsory for schools to have their own websites, not many are towing the line and the board has decided to wield the stick. Deadline not met
“All the managers and principals of schools affiliated to the board
were expected to host websites within a period of six months since last
October. However, we have found that some of the schools have not yet
developed their own websites and have not uploaded the required
information,” said board joint secretary (affiliation) M V V Prasada
Rao.
“All the schools have to furnish information on affiliation status, details of infrastructure, names and designation of teachers, class-wise and section-wise enrolment of students, postal address and email, telephone numbers and details of members of the school managing committee etc,” Prasada Rao said. The schools also have to prepare an annual report containing the above information and upload it on their websites before September 15. He added that all the managers and principals of schools have been again asked to host websites and send a report to the board within a month, failing which the defaulting schools would face action. Websites are useful
Reacting to the CBSE’s website proposal, Annie Joseph, mother of a
fifth standard student, says that it is certainly a good idea.
“Websites help parents a lot. We can log in and check what
activities are being taken up by school. Moreover, in this era of
technology when schools upload marks on the websites, it is very sad to
know that many schools are yet to have their own websites,” Annie sai

All the schools have to furnish information on affiliation status,details of infrastructure,names and designation of teachers,class-wise and section-wise enrolment of students,postal address and email,telephone numbers and details of members of the school managing committee etc, Prasada Rao said.
The schools also have to prepare an annual report containing the above information and upload it on their websites before September 15.He added that all the managers and principals of schools have been again asked to host websites and send a report to the board within a month,failing which the defaulting schools would face action.
WEBSITES ARE USEFUL
Reacting to the CBSEs website proposal,Annie Joseph,mother of a fifth standard student,says that it is certainly a good idea.Websites help parents a lot.We can log in and check what activities are being taken up by school.Moreover,in this era of technology when schools upload marks on the websites,it is very sad to know that many schools are yet to have their own websites, Annie said.

CHENNAI
: Every year, public examinations are held in March-April, not an ideal season to keep cool while taking life-determining tests.
Students have to work overtime to cover syllabus portions and tackle
heat and its concomitant ailments. It was no easy task for those who
took ill during their public examinations this year either.
T. Priyadharshini's major papers were over when her parents told her she
had chicken pox, looking at rashes on her body. She had the science
practical skill assessment examination the following day. A student of
G. K. Shetty Vivekananda Vidyalaya in Ambattur, she recalled having
suffered from nausea on the last day of her Class X CBSE theory
examinations. "Though it was an objective-type question paper for 20
marks, it seemed like a mammoth task to complete the paper. I gave up a
couple of times during the examination, but finally managed to complete
the paper. I think I've done well," she said. Her father R. Thayumanavan
said the 10-km drive to her examination centre in Korattur was also
tough on her.
The CBSE had asked schools under its purview to provide a separate room
and invigilator at the allotted centre to such students, on production
of medical certificates to the regional officer.
Director of Government Examinations Vasanthi Jeevanandam said school
heads were given instructions to make necessary arrangements for
students who were ill.
Principals of schools that functioned as examination centres made sure
such students were at ease. Samson Gellraj, Principal, Nellai Nadar
Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Kottivakkam, said two students,
who took the examinations at their school, were given a separate room.
C. Sathyamoorthy, Principal, Chinmaya Vidyalaya, said they made sure the
student who was ill was given water and fresh fruit juices at frequent
intervals.
CBSE joint secretary M. V. V. Prasada Rao said that about 15 students with chicken pox were given special permission this year.
"It is important that the student feels comfortable while writing the
examination. Since chicken pox is contagious, we insist that the student
be isolated," he said.
Book focussing on scientific study techniques released
Book focussing on scientific study techniques released
CHENNAI: A book with ‘100 super scientific study techniques’ was
released by M.V.V. Prasada Rao, joint secretary, CBSE Southern Region,
here on Thursday.
Titled ‘How to Excel in Studies & Score High Marks,’ the book is written by J.N. Reddy, director, MAX Academy for Excellence.
An accusation levelled against the Indian system of education was that it was too exam-oriented, said Mr. Reddy. Indians, themselves, have proved this wrong at organisations like NASA, Microsoft and IBM, he said. However, an increased emphasis on lateral and creative thinking was required. The study tips in the book were simple and practical, covering all aspects of the process of studying. Constantly sipping water, sitting upright, not studying at a stretch for more than an hour and studying several subjects in successive sessions rather than the same subject were some of the tips he gave the audience. Mr. Rao said that programming one’s activities systematically and creating a scholastic environment in schools were of vital importance for scoring high marks.
Y.G. Parthasarathy, dean and director, PSBB Group of Schools, said she would like to prescribe the book for students preparing for their public examinations. Kishore Kumar, senior principal, St. John’s School and C. Satish, Principal, DAV Boys’ School, felicitated the author for having written the book in simple and accessible English.

CHENNAI:
Tamil Nadu schools have put up an impressive performance in this year's
CBSE Class X examination, the results of which were declared on Monday.
The Chennai region and Ajmer regions were the first to declare results
among the six CBSE zones in the country. The results of four more
regions will be out on Tuesday.
Out of 13,492 students, who appeared for the March examination, 13,253
students notched success: an overwhelming 98.23 per cent.
"Very encouraging"
"The State's performance has been very encouraging and it has emerged as
one of the highest performing states in the country," M.V.V Prasada
Rao, Joint Secretary, CBSE Chennai region, said announcing the results.
The CBSE will not release the list of toppers — either of schools or
students — this time, as it did not want to discourage other students
who had performed equally well but had lost out only by a couple of
marks, Mr. Rao said, adding that the CBSE had nothing to do with any
claim made by schools in this regard. The Chennai region consists of
four southern states, Maharashtra, Puducherry, Goa, Daman and Diu,
Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. The overall pass percentage
in the region is 93.47, against 89.43 last year. Pass percentage among
boys was 93.2, while among girls, it was 93.60.
Navodaya schools in the region posted a pass percentage of 99.23, while
independent schools showed 98.47; Kendriya Vidyalaya schools recorded
98.2, while government schools put up 46.47 pass percentage.
Stress-free system
The high scores in this year's examination were due to the new
"stress-free examination system," introduced from this year, according
to Mr. Rao.
While marks in Mathematics were divided into 80 for the written
examination and 20 for practical examination, science marks were divided
into 60 for written examination and 20 each for school-based
performance and external examinations.
Marksheets have already been despatched to schools in other States,
while Tamil Nadu schools will start receiving them from Tuesday.
Girls outshine boys in CBSE class XII also

CBSE cracks whip, gives schools a month to up websites
Though the Central Board of Secondary Education has made it compulsory for schools to have their own websites, not many are towing the line and the board has decided to wield the stick.
Deadline not met
“All the managers and principals of schools affiliated to the board were expected to host websites within a period of six months since last October. However, we have found that some of the schools have not yet developed their own websites and have not uploaded the required information,” said board joint secretary (affiliation) M V V Prasada Rao.
“All the schools have to furnish information on affiliation status, details of infrastructure, names and designation of teachers, class-wise and section-wise enrolment of students, postal address and email, telephone numbers and details of members of the school managing committee etc,” Prasada Rao said.
The schools also have to prepare an annual report containing the above information and upload it on their websites before September 15. He added that all the managers and principals of schools have been again asked to host websites and send a report to the board within a month, failing which the defaulting schools would face action.
Websites are useful
Reacting to the CBSE’s website proposal, Annie Joseph, mother of a fifth standard student, says that it is certainly a good idea.
“Websites help parents a lot. We can log in and check what activities are being taken up by school. Moreover, in this era of technology when schools upload marks on the websites, it is very sad to know that many schools are yet to have their own websites,” Annie said.

CBSE Class X: Odisha tops eastern region
BHUBANESWAR: Odisha notched up top honours in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class X examination by securing a whopping 99.48 pass percentage, highest in the eastern zone. Also in keeping with the trend, girls outshone boys.
� The results were announced on Thursday afternoon after keeping students on their toes as the online declaration took two more hours. Due to technical glitch, the results, expected at 4 pm, were available only after 6 pm.
As many as 13,644 students had appeared in CBSE examination in the State out of which 13,573 students passed, taking the pass percentage close to 99.5 per cent.
�The students performed exceedingly well not only in comparison to the previous year but also in the Bhubaneswar region which includes two neighbouring states. The pass percentage of Chhattisgarh was 99.13 and West Bengal stood at 98.95.
�“This year, the performance of the students form Odisha has been better than the two other states in the zone. Another good news is that the girls have yet again outshone the boys in terms of quality,” said CBSE joint secretary and regional officer MVV Prasada Rao.
�At least 18,884 girls in the Eastern Zone had appeared for the CBSE examination this year. The percentage of girls scoring 75 per cent and above was 47.36, whereas it was 41.92 for boys.
�The Board has done away with the percentage scoring pattern beginning this year and has brought in the grade system in its place. Most of the students scored grade A or A+. After CBSE changed the evaluation format to Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE), the trend of toppers has vanished.
�“We got rid of the marking system as it was the major reason for stress among the students. It did not matter if the students scored 98 per cent, just securing one mark less than the topper was always discouraging, not celebrated because he failed to be the topper,” explained Rao. The CCE format of evaluation eliminates any such discrimination.
�It was also found that the students from the Jawaharlal Navodaya Vidyalaya in the State performed better than other schools with around 66.48 per cent students scoring distinction and above.
�They were followed by the students of Kendriya Vidyalaya where around 41.76 per cent students scored above 75 per cent. Around 43.28 per cent of the students of the independent schools combined have scored more than distinction.
�It was also found out that this year more students preferred to take the examinations conducted and evaluated by the schools instead of the CBSE as compared to the last year.

CREATING QUALITY EFFECTIVE SCHOOL – A Student’s view point
The vision of an excellent school, a place in which the parents, students, teachers and
members of the community enjoy oneness, would be determined primarily by the kind of ethos it
reflects. The school should have the child as focus and the process must include reference to the
four basic factors, viz.
1. The teacher
2. The learner
3. The subject matter
4. The content / setting
The endeavour would be to hire and train the best of teachers for the purpose of attaining our
objectives. The learner, who is the focus of all educational process, must be helped to develop into
a citizen who is ambitious yet concerned about others, able to rationalize and reason out things
yet be sensitive to others’ needs. He should be proud of his success yet be able to tackle failure
in the right spirit and look at them as an opportunity to learn from mistakes. It is also necessary to
help the learner be in tune with the latest developments in the field of technology yet be prepared
to work with his hands. This can be achieved by imparting a fine tuned subject matter, both within
and beyond the classroom situations. A teacher here, plays a pivotal role in shaping the destiny of
the students. For any institution, to attain the above, we need to create the right setting. Education
being a dynamic process should look at alternatives and methods for constantly improving the
process and the product.
It is in this endeavour to improve the process and product that the “Kola Perumal Chetty Vaishnav
Senior Secondary School” constantly brings innovation without losing sight of old practices. “Bal
Brindavan” putting together the creative talent of the students and their actions, activities and
achievements is one such attempt again. It creates a constancy of purpose towards improvement
and reaffirms team effort to achieve specific goals in the years to come.
