Wasted the entire year doing nothing. Image unrelated.

the question is, will it actually be tougher than before

Hey everyone, I’m a Class 9 student and as you probably know, our books changed this year and Beehive and Moments got replaced by this new textbook called Kaveri. Honestly I kept hearing so many seniors hype up the older books, so out of pure curiosity, I looked up a PDF of Moments and read "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde. And by god... it was literally so amazing🫠. The emotions, the imagery, the storytelling, it actually made me feel something deeply. But when I look at Kaveri, it just feels so underwhelming. I get that they want to focus heavily on Indian culture and context now, which is a cool initiative, but it shouldn't be the ONLY thing we read. Like, what’s even the point of an English Literature syllabus if we get zero exposure to classic Western literature? If they just wanted us to read super easy English with basic plots🤷🏻‍♀️it shouldn't even be called literature. Tbh, I feel like my Class 7 and 8 English textbooks had way richer and more mature stories than what we're getting now in 9th. I’m just genuinely glad I got to read masterpieces like "The Road Not Taken" in my lower classes before they changed everything. Kaveri just feels way too simplified, like it’s holding us back and I want to know if other 9th graders are equally frustrated or if seniors feel like we’re completely missing out.

What’s your take on this ?

Hi everyone,

I gave my CBSE Class XII boards in 2026 and passed overall, but my Chemistry result says "Repeat in Theory". I got 10 in theory and 28 in practical. I also appeared in the supplementary exam and got 15 in theory, so it says "Repeat in Theory" again.

Now I have to register as a private candidate for 2026-27, and I'm confused about which category to pick. Should it be improvement or compartment?

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Which category did you choose, and how did the process go for you? Any advice would really help.

Thanks!

Back in May I was sick for 4 days (suspected dengue+high fever) and as per what the doctor from Practo said, I took some medical tests and took 4 days off due to high fever and gave a medical certificate by Practo to my school in May itself.
what are the chances i cant give board exams, can i do smth about it?

I am done with the confirmation page. Do I need to do anything else? Or do I have to wait for admit card now ?

Guys, I'm feeling really anxious right now because I don't know how to fill out the private candidate form. I passed 5 subjects, but I got an RT in 1 subject. Which category should I apply under as a private candidate? Also, do we need to include the date of birth on the photo? Please let me know

Guys !

I finally got my re-evaluated sheet through RTI and guess what, CBSE messed it up again 😭

I had made a 1_ix request because that paper was unchecked and that idiot marked 1_x which was already checked, so my marks didn't increase at all.

The regional office people are saying it will take time and it's already been 10 days, I've complained to them....

The Department of School Education (Ministry) is full of idiots, no one is replying to emails.

What should I do now ?

I've completed my syllabus and will start solving sample papers and all from like 25 october and I do want more sample papers tho 🥀 like arihant, educart but I can't order every thing so I'm gonna rely on these I don't think I'll find other sample papers online so is oswaal really enough?

I joined a reputed institute in, may of month already late for jee. Because it was a sudden decision made by My family

They forcefully threw me into the rat race. I wasn't taking studies seriously for August and the following months, but then I started worrying that I might fail 11th grade, seeing my own stupid/clueless situation, so I started working a little. Then a few days later, a killer laptop arrived for me, just to wreck my life. Now I've gone crazy: 22 chapters of backlog, with an 86% score in 10th, and gooning on random girls' DMs is my new personality. My crazy ahhh is dumbahh 💔💔😭😋👄

Kinda ironic because I scored lower in 10th half yearly than in 11th
