Being this week’s editor, I’m going to categorise this edition as quite crucial for all the campus journalists. If there are two words besides “Board exams” that can lead to apocalyptic scenarios and macabre thoughts in the head of even a sanguine and jovial student, it is “Board results”.
Boards were certainly not the only leviathan task that we had to go through. The result was just as scary, if not more!
Monday, the day of the announcement of the much-await Sed “Board results”, witnessed a sudden inundation of phone calls from every person we have ever met — including those NRI relatives who never even called to wish us a happy birthday — enquiring about our results. Sad life? You bet!
The freshly graduated batch of 2013 has already begun fretting and its anguish is evident. Just when the thought of the Board examinations started fading away until it became much too ambiguous, we were cruelly woken up by the results that were announced on Monday.
Irrespective of the streams — we all are waging the same war. The war of getting into a decent college — if not our dream college. Preparing ourselves for the worst. Trying to reassess the options we are left with. Praying profusely that the cut-offs won’t skyrocket beyond our reach this year. Dealing with the insurmountable anxiety. And of course, cursing the people who used to say that “life after Boards is fun!”
But fear not, dear readers! For we all are in the same boat. All the CJs, too, are going through the turbulent phase of stress and jitters.
Today, the CJs talk about their experiences regarding the Board exams and the final consequence. Some are excited, ecstatic and optimistically look ahead, while for the rest, the result didn’t turn out to be too great.
For some, sociology and political science turned out to be a dampener while for others it was the accountancy exam that ended up being an albatross around their necks.
Finally, before you proceed to read what every CJ has to say about their exams and the result, I would like to conclude this piece by adding that though the Board result is quite vital for a student in the “great Indian admission process,” it is not the only criterion for a bright future.
Sometimes, it is always better to go for the road not taken and question the convention. You are not what you score and scoring an 82% instead of a 94% does not determine your smartness. The path ahead might seem uncertain, but at the end of the day, it all works out!
