| | The Hindu : Tamil Nadu News : Counselling to help CBSE students tide over exam fear |
 | | Now that the countdown to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Classes X and XII examinations for this year has begun, the board has put in place, yet again, its tele-counselling facility aimed at helping students tide over examination-related physical and mental tensions and to clear any examination-related doubts they may have. |
 | | The counselling manual instructs the counsellors to be empathetic to the students who call in with problems, to be open-minded with them, to maintain objectivity while dealing with students, to be genuine in expressing concern and to maintain confidentiality about the problems expressed by students. |
 | | The CBSE helpline can be accessed over the MTNL network on the number 1250111102, and on 1250102 on the BSNL network. |
