The most awaited period of any student studying in 10th or lesser grade is the holidays which they get after writing their boards.But to be really honest, the actual tough time in a students life starts then.It is then that the student has to decide which stream he has to opt for.
There are number of options he has to decide on.One of them is engineering.There is a complete transformation in the syllabus from that of 10th class.In C.B.S.E, if u ask my opinion, any student who can mug up things quickly and retain them for a certain period of time, will be successful in 10th class boards.But nothing of that sort helps in 11 or 12 or for preparing for engineering.
The student has to be very clear with his fundamentals.He has to look into every detail and should look for reasons for every point.Unfortunately, there are very few schools which provide the proper coaching required to crack the important exams.Therefore the students are forced to go for coaching classes.Actually , there are different approaches for different type of entrance exams.The tuition classes groom the students in corresponding manner.
What really needs a change is the change in syllabus right from 10th class.The syllabus of 9th is very much related to that of 11th and 12th.Right from 10th, the syllabus should be made in such a way that compels the student to apply his brain.And the syllabus of 11th and 12th should be more entrance oriented.The marks in the board are never given primary significance nowadays.This change may also raise the importance of board exams.
