VARANASI: The students who have to appear in class X and XII board exams are a worried lot these days. The class X and XII examinations of CBSE and ICSE boards are beginning from March 1, and these exams are likely continue till mid-April, the same time around which the ICC World Cup matches would be played. Similarly, the exams of UP board would begin from March 18. This being the peak time for exam preparations, the students are very likely to miss the excitement of the World Cup matches.
Paritosh, a class XII student, said, "I love to watch cricket matches and want India to win the coveted World Cup this time. But, exams are also important and I would definitely miss some of the matches in the process."
He further said, "I have decided to skip the matches of other countries and watch only those matches in which India is playing. However, I will miss out the India-England clash (February 27), as the timing of the match is close to physics exam which is a tough subject."
Gaurav, another class XII student, said, "I have already worked on the timings and taken consent from my parents to watch important matches during examination break."
He further said, "As most of the matches would be day-night, I have changed my study schedule to give more time during the day for the preparations of my exams. I have also made plans to view the exciting parts of the matches especially the slog overs and power plays and not the complete matches."
The college and university students are also cursing the schedule of the WC matches.
Dipti, a BSc final year student at BHU, said, "The exams for most of the courses under the semester system are slated to begin in the first week of April and it would put lots of pressure on the students who are likely to miss the crucial knock-out stage matches."
