Through memes, CBSE tries to reduce exam stress

The board chairperson Anita Karwal also said that this social media practice will be continued during non-examination days




CBSE exam 2020: While the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has been running the counselling sessions for students and their parents on dealing with exam stress, this year they have turned a bit more creative. They have shared hilarious memes on social media for students appearing for class 10, 12 board examinations. The memes, a brainchild of chairperson Anita Karwal, were first released on February 15, the day the board examinations began.

The board chairperson commented that the memes are meant to communicate with the students in their language. “Instead of instructions and guidelines regarding the board examinations, these memes will be helpful to students appearing for any exam as it will bring smiles,” the official said.

A meme on Wednesday about the important aspect of board exams read, “In exams, it is compulsory to write in pens blue/ ballpoints of any kind or gel pens will do/ now don’t say later I didn’t have a clue.” Other memes with hashtags such as #YoucanDoIt, #beontime, and #theunstoppableyou are also trending on social media.

A meme featuring Albert Einstein says, “Gravitation cannot be held responsible for you not getting up on time for study and exams.”

Karwal also mentioned that this social media practice will be continued during non-examination days. “The board’s social media team will decide on the frequency of memes, but these messages will be posted on various board’s social media pages- Facebook, Twitter, Instagram even after the examination,” the official mentioned.
