CHENNAI: To help Class 10 and 12 CBSE students tackle examination-related stress and emotional challenges, the tele-counselling began from Tuesday (January 6), preparing them for the upcoming theory examinations.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) launched the first phase of its annual free psycho-social counselling for Class 10 and 12 examinees on January 6, 2026, which will continue until June 1.
