According to sources, students who received E1 and E2 grades are put under the category of EIOP (Eligible for Improvement of Performance) and can appear for improvement in their performance as per Board rules.
Meanwhile, counsellors are ready to help depressed students and advise parents on how to sensitively handle their wards if their results do not match their expectations.
Having student helplines and suicide helplines might help prevent cases of student suicides following unsatisfactory results, said sources. Shrity Sharan, a clinical psychologist, said if a person's support system is strong, then they would not need counselling.
Sharan said, 'Students, especially from small towns, lack support systems and are very vulnerable. All colleges and schools should have qualified psychologists for the purpose.'
