After an entire academic year of online learning, 50.2 per cent SSC students are not confident about appearing for the board exams, a survey has found. In fact, 68 per cent believe that since learning was online, exams should also be held online while 80 per cent feel that internal assessments should have at least 50 per cent weightage.  

Worryingly, 72 per cent students said they are stressed and feel the need for guidance and counselling. In addition, 80 per cent are not aware of the counselling facility provided by the state board. The findings were reported in a survey conducted by a teacher from Kurla.
