New Delhi: In an
attempt to address anxieties of students and parents, the Central
Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will start from Wednesday the
first phase of counselling for those appearing for board
examinations this year.
Students can dial the toll-free number 1800-180-3456 between 8
a.m. to midnight from Feb 1 to April 16, 2012, said a CBSE
official.
"The CBSE counselling is an outreach programme which is carefully
designed keeping the heterogeneity of student population and
geographical spread," she said.
Multiple modes of communication such as telephonic counselling,
question answer columns in newspapers and online counselling
through CBSE website is being used to reach out to more and more
examinees.
"This year, approximately 67 experts, including principals,
trained counsellors from CBSE affiliated government and private
schools and few psychologists are participating in tele-counselling,"
she said.
For the first time, counsellors from Kendriya Vidyalyas, Jammu and
Kashmir and Kolkata are participating in the initiative.
Besides, about 11 counsellors from outside India, including from
Japan, Kuwait, Qatar, Nepal and Saudi Arabia, are participating in
the program.
In 2010, CBSE introduced a Centralised Access System (CAS) similar
to that of a call centre, where students could dial the number
1800-180-3456.
