Yesterday, this paper carried a front page piece on how the lack of clarity on when the SSC results will be declared is not only giving students sleepless nights, it has left colleges and parents worried too.

The report stated that parents are worried about their children getting admission in good colleges because it would be a rushed admission process. Then, the colleges itself are in a quandary about completing the admission process in time, and, finally completing the syllabus for the first semester exams in October.
