Chennai schools come up with ways to boost admissions
Three govt schools under the Chengalpet education district have found ways to solve a common problem — getting more children into classrooms. People will enrol their kids in govt schools if unique initiatives are implemented, said C Karpagam, chief educational officer. Govt Higher Secondary School, Kovalam Is snooker a rich man's preserve? Not necessarily, thought headmaster T Nakkeeran when he brought in a snooker table worth 2 lakh in 2021, with the help of Venkatraman Memorial Trust. "It broke the stereotype that certain games are meant only for certain people," Nakkeeran told TOI. Physical education teacher Mohan, said, "Our students participated in a competition in Chennai but since they were not accustomed to playing in an air-conditioned environment, they lost. Now, we'll get ACs in our PE room to equip our students to fare better next time," he said. Besides snooker, the school has nets for cricket. M S Nanina, Class XI, who played for the Tamil Nadu U-17 cricket team, said, "Here, both acdemics and sports get the same importance. We reached the U-17 quarter-finals in Haryana and my school bore all the expenses." MPL Govt Higher Secondary School, Hastinapuram Speaking without inhibition brings out the best in students, said headmaster J Chandran whose 'Coffee With HM' is extremely popular among his students. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Though there's a space crunch in this one-acre school, it has not deterred Chandran from placing grievance boxes across the campus. One's for faculty and one for students. Every evening he visits classes to connect with his students. "We discuss everything from academics to issues at home or school. And if there is an issue, we try to resolve it," said Chandran. Hari Prasad, a Class XI student, said, "The HM is a busy man, yet he finds time to listen to us. I wanted a library in the school but I was too shy to ask him. But drop boxes and 'Coffee with HM' room help introverts like me open up. Now, we have a library." Maraimalai Adigal Govt Higher Secondary School, Pallavaram At headmaster S Ravi Kasi Venkataraman's school, 80-plus CCTVs maintain careful watch over students' movements, and no one can play truant. But how does he ensure students stay in school? Answer: The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) app. This app lets the headmaster record messages and forward them to parents. "I send messages about students' absence, exam details and pass on updates. Student details are stored in the app along with their parents' phone numbers," said Ravi. Messages are sent four times a day, spaced 30 minutes apart. "If parents miss the first message, they can listen to the next." The school also offers free coaching for competitive exams., said the parent of GP Shravesh, a former CBSE student who is set to join Class XI. Three years ago, school education minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi opened the Young Kalam Discovery Science Centre at this school.

CBSE Board 10th, 12th Results 2025 Date Live Update: When CBSE Class 10, 12 board exam results be released, Check when and how to access marksheets
CBSE Board 10th, 12th Results 2025 Date Live Update : The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is poised to declare the Class 10 and Class 12 board examination results for 2025 in the coming days. With over 44 lakh students having appeared for the exams held between February 15 and March 18, the results are expected to be released between May 1 and May 10, amid strong indications that they may be announced as early as May 2. No official date has been confirmed by the board as of now. The evaluation of answer sheets, which began shortly after the conclusion of the examinations, is reportedly in its final stages. According to CBSE officials, the result compilation process is on track and likely to be completed by the end of April, paving the way for timely publication. Sources familiar with the matter have indicated that the board is aiming for a streamlined result declaration in line with previous years. In 2024, the CBSE announced both Class 10 and Class 12 results on May 13. The year before that, results were published on May 12. The consistency in this schedule lends weight to speculations around a May 2 announcement this year, though students have been advised to rely strictly on official updates. Once declared, students will be able to access their CBSE results through multiple channels: and will serve as the primary portals. Students must enter their roll number, school code, and date of birth. DigiLocker: Mark sheets will be available on DigiLocker, accessible via Aadhaar-linked credentials or registered mobile numbers. UMANG App: The government-backed UMANG platform will provide mobile access to result data. SMS Service: For those with limited internet access, CBSE will offer an SMS facility. Students will be required to send their roll numbers to a specific number, to be announced shortly. IVRS Facility: In certain regions, the board will enable an Interactive Voice Response System to allow result retrieval via phone calls. It must be noted that the online results are provisional in nature. Students will be required to collect their original mark sheets from their respective schools. These physical documents are essential for all higher education admission procedures and other formal processes. Compartment Exams and Revaluation In the event of a student failing in one or two subjects, CBSE is expected to conduct compartment examinations in July 2025. Applications for the same will open shortly after the declaration of results. Additionally, students wishing to apply for rechecking or revaluation can do so within a stipulated timeframe—typically one to two weeks after results are published. Previous Year Data Provides Context In 2024, CBSE recorded a pass percentage of 93.60% in Class 10 and 87.98% in Class 12. In 2023, the figures were 93.12% and 87.33%, respectively. With digitisation and centralised evaluation mechanisms in place, CBSE is expected to maintain comparable timelines and transparency for the 2025 cycle.
