All the best to CBSE students of class 10. You have done your bit. Let not the results make you nervous because you have no control over them. You can't do anything now. You will reap the fruits of what you have sown. Be contented with what you get. And then, build your future

Thanks to CBSE Exams, I have seen tweets from young friends. My advise to them is that decibels will never determine the truth tho' times now in our Republic are such that "nation wants to know" & listens only to those that shout. Ultimately truth will triumph over loud falsehood

I agree. By the way I never got more than 38% marks. Marks are important but Parents shouldn’t stress their children so much that they fear getting less marks. It is psychologically damaging. My father always celebrated my failures and in the process liberated from this fear.:) https://t.co/4EgY42Awfk

My friend, I celebrate people who fail too. Because for me Failure is an event. Never a person. But that doesn’t stop me from applauding somebody who gets 99.6% marks.:) https://t.co/9Gr8wMcs8h

Veteran actor Anupam Kher says he never scored more than 38 per cent marks, but still his father "celebrated" his failures, which thereby liberated him from the fear of getting less marks.

Anupam shared this on Twitter when he congratulated 17-year-old Meghna Srivastava for topping the CBSE Class 12 results scoring 499 out of 500, and a scribe pointed out how applauding those with "70-80 per cent marks should be equally celebrated".

The actor then clarified: "My friend, I celebrate people who fail too. Because for me failure is an event. Never a person. But that doesn't stop me from applauding somebody who gets 99.6 per cent marks."

Several arrests have happened since then. The arrested persons include a maths teacher of the school, Harmesh, and a former ABVP office-bearer.

Students need to score at least 33 per cent of the total in each subject (including the internals and practicals) in order to pass. This means they don’t need to secure 33 per cent separately in board exams and internal assessments.
