  • No more failures in new CBSE ranking.

    May 31: Kendriya Vidyalayas in the state continued their domination in the CBSE Class X results of Chennai region that were announced on Tuesday by securing a pass percentage of 99.92. In the recently-announced CBSE Class XII too, the KVs had stolen the show by recording a pass percentage of 93.5.

    However, since marks have been replaced with grades from last year, the usual euphoria associated with results was missing. There were no “toppers” and the expectations, stress and anxiety levels among students were minimal. Under the new grading system, the CBSE has introduced a nine-point scale: A1 (91-100 marks), A2 (81-90), B1 (71-80), B2 (61-70), C1 (51-60), C2 (41-50), D (33-40), E1 (21-32) and E2 (20 and below).

    Students who obtain qualifying grades — D and above in all the subjects will be awarded a qualifying certificate. CBSE has done away with the practice of declaring candidate “failed.” Those who secure E1 and E2 grades will get five chances to improve their performance to get promoted to Class XI. Unless these students improve their performance in five attempts, they will not be eligible for admission into Class XI. The Board will also award merit certificates to the candidates who obtain A1 in all the five subjects. Though the CBSE has made Class X Board exams optional from this year as part of the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation system, most students in the state opted to sit for the Boards and there were less than 100 takers for the school-conducted exams. This year, of the 41 KVs in Hyderabad region, 38 schools secured 100 per cent results and the remaining three got 99 per cent results. A total of 3,888 students had appeared for the Class X exams from KVs this year of whom 3,885 passed. This year, a total of 1,36,722 students had registered for Class X exams in the Chennai region. Of them, 89,543 had opted for Board exams and 47,269 opted for school-conducted exams.

    In AP, of the total 19,500 students who registered for Class X exams, less than 100 opted for school-conducted exams. Though CBSE has not declared the pass percentage of Chennai region, officials estimate that it would be nearly 97 per cent. The pass percentage in Andhra Pradesh is estimated at 98.5. Around 45 out of 285 students from Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan School, Jubilee Hills, scored 10/10 CGPA. They include B. Aparna, S. Sushma Reddy, Tanya Gelli, Anirudh Subramanyam, Krishna Rohit, Ashlin Paul, Beena Wadhwani, S. Anusha, Nikhil Nayak, K. T. Gayatri Devi and Stuthi Sakhi. The school secured 100 per cent results.

    From Sister Nivedita School, Ameerpet, Srilekha Sengupta, K. Snigdha and Pooja scored 10/10 CGPA. The school also achieved 100 per cent results.

  • All five toppers from AP want to join IIT-Bombay.

    HYDERABAD: The IIT toppers from Andhra Pradesh are an unusual bunch. Contrary to the stereotypical image of students burning the midnight oil to make it big in the IIT entrance, the AP boys spoke of their love for all things forbidden Telugu films, IPL matches and outdoor sports.

    The five rank holders from the state do not have stories of spending long hours, devouring books and making personal sacrifices to get the top scores. “Perhaps they want to strike a contrary note. I can’t believe that they did not study long hours,” said a parent of an IIT hopeful.

    In fact, the toppers insisted, that their secret was “keeping it cool” or so they said amidst celebrations by friends and family, not to mention the coaching centres that burst crackers and made them cut cakes.
    Just minutes after the release of results, Tej, the JEE topper, stated that he does not want to pursue a career as an engineer.

    In fact, he thinks that the most prestigious tech college in the country IIT-Bombay is only a pit stop, a place to prepare for UPSC (civil services). He said that since his childhood, he had nursed only one ambition, to become an IAS officer. “I scored well because IIT was not the be-all and end-all of my life,” he said.

    Even a day before the examination, Tej was watching the IPL match. He is a student of Sri Chaitanya Junior College, Vijayawada.

    In fact, Tej had a matter-of-fact way of looking at even his success in JEE. Soon after the release of results, Tej went to the city’s passport office to submit his application for a passport to attend an international Olympiad in Thailand.

    The third rank holder, V Shaimak Reddy, a student from the city, stated that he liked both Tollywood and Hollywood flicks and watched movies even after joining Narayana Junior College, Dilsukhnagar. “Even if you spend 10 hours reading your books in a day, you might not crack IIT. But if you relax and take your examination with a confident cool mind you have a better chance of cracking it,” he said, adding that other social activities are important to keep oneself at peace.

    The fourth rank holder, B Saikiran from Narayana Junior College, stated that he was only an average scorer till class X. “I had done my schooling from my hometown in Nalgonda and scored 91% in SSC, which was not good enough. I did not lose heart and prepared well for the IIT entrance and HSC, where I scored 97%,” he said.

    What all the rank holders have in common is an interest in sports and a liking for healthy living. “I used to play badminton with my mother and then continued to do so to stay fit. It is a matter of personal discipline and it had helped improve my concentration,” said T Bhargava Reddy, the eighth rank holder. J Varun, the ninth rank holder, stated that he was more interested in medical field than engineering. “But later I started liking Maths and then decided to try for IIT admissions,” Varun said.

    All the five rank holders plan to take admissions in IIT-Bombay.
