The much-awaited CBSE Class 10 board examinations commenced on Tuesday, marking a pivotal moment for students nationwide. From early morning, exam halls in Delhi and Noida witnessed a surge of eager yet anxious candidates. Long lines formed outside centers like Kendriya Vidyalaya Gole Market, where the air was thick with anticipation.
Students opened up about their feelings. ‘First board paper has me on edge, but I’m pumped,’ confessed one. ‘Fully prepared, still feeling the nerves,’ echoed another. At Tughlakabad’s Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya, the vibe mirrored this mix. A student gearing up for Mathematics said, ‘Good prep, but can’t shake the tension.’
Optimism shone through too. ‘Studied thoroughly; it’ll be fine,’ assured one. From Noida, a candidate shared, ‘Practiced samples extensively. Math isn’t strong, targeting 70 though.’ Parents formed supportive crowds outside, boosting morale amid tight security.
CBSE’s elaborate arrangements—from biometric checks to invigilator training—guaranteed a seamless process. These exams shape career paths, influencing stream choices and college admissions. Day one encapsulated the essence of student life: rigorous preparation meeting real-world pressure, with every answer sheet a step toward dreams.
