Every year, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) offers tele-counselling with the support of trained counsellors, principals and psychologists to help students to deal with anxiety and to take informed academic decisions. This year, the board has reportedly extended the support time due to increased worries about student stress, the confusion of re-evaluation, the pressure of competitive entrance and the preparation of college admission.

Why CBSE Extended Tele-Counselling Services

“Performance expectations, uncertainty regarding future admissions and comparison pressure are some reasons that make students emotionally stressed after the declaration of results,” officials said. CBSE feels counselling guidance can help students stay mentally balanced and not panic throughout this key academic era.

The extension is intended to ensure that students and parents are adequately guided on issues relating to career planning, results and emotional well-being.

What Kind of Support Students Can Receive

Through the tele-counselling programme, students can talk directly to skilled specialists about academic stress, result disappointment, future planning and emotional issues. The counselling service is meant to provide discreet and supportive counselling.

• Coping with stress and anxiety
• Career and stream counselling
• Emotional and counselling help
• Clarification on the result
• Increase confidence and motivation

Who Is Providing the Counselling Support

The CBSE tele-counselling services are normally provided with the help of trained principals, counsellors, psychologists and special educators linked with schools and educational institutes. They help kids deal with emotional and academic issues after the board results.

The board has emphasised that counselling service is offered to not only students, but also for parents seeking guidance on student mental health and academic preparedness.

How Students Can Access CBSE Tele-Counselling

CBSE has issued formal communication channels and helpline systems through which students can avail counselling services. Candidates are urged not to rely on any unofficial source of information regarding counselling schedule and contact details.

1. Go to CBSE official website https://cbse.gov.in
2. Student Support or Open Counselling
3. Find available helpline numbers
4. Contact counsellors only during official hours
5. Discuss academic or emotional issues in private

Why Mental Health Support Is Becoming More Important After Results

The greater competitiveness in school and higher societal expectations mean pupils are under a lot more pressure to get results, experts say. After the board results, many students go through stress, fear of failure or anxiety about future chances.

“Emotional support is very important in this phase as students take major academic and career decisions right after Class 12 results,” say educational counsellors.

Advice Issued for Students and Parents

CBSE and education experts have asked students not to stress over marks and not to take emotional judgements based on examination results alone. Parents have also been asked to provide positive support instead of placing unneeded pressure on youngsters.

• Don’t compare marks with others
• Career planning focus long-term
• If stressed counselling
• Have a free discussion with family members
• Follow official updates of cbse only

How Tele-Counselling Supports Academic Decision Making

Counsellors provide emotional support and information on admission procedures, alternative job routes, re-evaluation processes, and academic chances. This information is of great help for students who are puzzled about taking up a course after Class 12.

Experts say that with good counselling, students can be helped to make better balanced academic decisions and not act out of panic.
