Balasaheb Hyalij, counselor with Mumbai division board, said, "The day HSC results were announced, we received calls from anxious SSC students and a few parents inquiring about the date of their results.
But the inflow of calls reduced once the state board announced the date (June 17). We are expecting numerous calls once the SSC results are announced, especially from students seeking revaluation as well as photocopies of their answer sheets."
Malini Shah, a senior counselor at Astha Chrysalis Foundation, said, "Over a period of time, the students have been becoming more pro-active.
Instead of getting nervous, they want know about possible alternatives if they do not fare well in exams. These days students are taking their results, even if bad, quite positively."
