Gayatri Chetri has four days to go before her psychology preliminary board and her week-log preparation leave for the examination seems a luxury when she thinks of her impending CBSE board exam's datesheet.
Even heavy duty subjects like geography, psychology and economics are scheduled in such a manner that it hardly leaves her with any time for last minute revision.
"I have to revise nine chapters in a subject like psychology and the time is just not enough," said Gayatri.
Her mother too worries how the girl will be able to make any time to revise. "She will get back home by afternoon after appearing for a paper and will have to sleep early," the mother reasons.
But with a platter of over 150 subjects to be accommodated in a mere 24 days, CBSE claims it's difficult to keep everyone happy, a fact that school principals seem to agree to agree with.
"Even in our schools, we try and space out exams but sometimes these things are inevitable and happen to fall in this manner," said Suman Nath, a Principal of a school.
Meanwhile, experts advise that the only way to deal with the packed schedule is to prepare well in advance.
Nath argues that the last minute holidays are in any case meant only for last minute revision that can be managed well by studying well beforehand.
This should be an indication to students to take to their books right away so as to avoid date-sheet dilemma.
