CBSE Boards 2018 has became a nightmare for the students of 10th and 12th.

Just four days after a 17-year-old girl committed suicide ahead of her board exams, another student gave in to the exam stress and ended his life in Mohali on Wednesday, hours after appearing for his physics exam.

This is the second death in the Tricity since the board examination has started. Earlier on March 4, a Class X girl in Mullanpur ended her life by consuming poison as she did not want to continue with her studies.

Last year's XII batch had an extension of the moderation policy which awarded grace marks, after the Delhi High Court intervened. The CBSE has said that the moderation policy has been stopped from this year onwards.

This is not fair as the previous batches had the moderation policy and the succeeding batches would have a reduction in the syllabus. This leaves the present XII students with neither a reduction in the syllabus nor having the moderation policy.
