CBSE 2024 Exams: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will start psychological counselling students and parents for the 2024 board exams from today, January 1. The initiative of the CBSE to counsel students and their parents is aimed at equipping them with tools and techniques to navigate exam stress effectively. While the practical exams for the CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 started on January 1, the theory exams will begin on February 15.
This psychological counselling programme will continue in two phases, first before the examination and second after the result, to keep the students of Class 10 and 12 of CBSE-affiliated schools stress-free during and after the examinations. CBSE has been conducting this programme since 1998 and this will be its 26th year conducting this psychological counselling program.
The board, while announcing the start date of the annual psychological counselling said that it has actively engaged with students through the use of YouTube, FaceBook, and Instagram in addition to sharing other important information on social media over the years.
“Audio-visual content on youth experiences, aggression, depression, internet addiction disorder, examination stress, multimedia content on various topics such as specific learning disabilities, substance use disorders and life skills to deal with them can also be viewed and listened to,” the CBSE added.
