Passing Board Exams (10th or 12th) Privately – Good or Bad?

Many times we come across advertisements in the form of pamphlets, hordings, TV and radio Ads, assuring people to help them pass their SSC/CBSE/HSC privately. However are these claims true? If yes then is giving 10^th or 12^th board exams privately advisable?
 

Let us take two cases:-

 

Case 1: Students who have passed their 10^th or 11^th and want to give 12^th privately without attending regular school or college.

• If a student has passed 10^th, and for some reason was not able to pursue studies, the student can give 12^th directly anytime. (Note: for giving 12^th through correspondence there should be atleast 1 yr gap between passing the 10^th & appearing for the 12^thexams)
• The student can approach a private agency or directly a college for registration as a private candidate for HSC or equivalent 12^th board. Just make sure the private agency involved registers you as a private candidate from a recognized & affiliated college. The mark sheet which a student will obtain is same as a regular student would get, also the student must take a Leaving certificate (LC) of that particular college under which s/he appeared the HSC board. After this the student can apply in for any of the degree colleges.

 

Case 2: Students who have failed 10^th and want to give their 12^th or for those who have failed their 10^th or 12^th and want to reappear but privately.

• If a student has failed 10^th it is important for him/her to re-appear for the examinations clear the 10^th & then pursue further. Under no circumstances will a student be able to clear 12^th if s/he has not cleared his/her 10^th.

• Students getting admission in 11^th on 10^th ATKT:10^th failed student can fill the admission form for 11^th regular junior college, if s/he has failed in 1 or 2 subjects. This admission depends on the college, its cut off & the availability of seats. The student will have clear the 10^th exam before being allowed to appear for HSC.

In conclusion it can be said that giving 10^th or 12^th privately involves no potential risk if given through recognized and affiliated school/colleges. However regular college is always advisable as it not only gives a student social exposure but also prepares him/her for vigorous, scheduled & structured learning, which helps them to pursue further degree courses.
