90-99- A1.

The student who scroes 90 aslo get A1 and the student who scores 99 also gets A1 - which is unfair.

                   ISC –Grade 12



IB: - (International Board )

If one aims for a specific state-level competition exam, then SB may be opted for.

SB is pocket friendly and hence can cater to the large part of society with mediocre economical background.

DISADVANTAGES: -

STATE: -

    The teaching pattern hasn't changed much, which needs to change.


    Exposure in terms of extra subjects is the major drawback of SB.

 

 


Conclusion -

Along with the board, it's very important to check the school, its system, head, staff, etc...

 Chandipura Virus Chandipura virus, aka Chandipura vesiculovirus (CHPV), is an RNA virus belonging to the Rhabdoviridae family, which also includes the rabies virus. It was first identified in 1965 in Chandipura, a village in Maharashtra. The virus primarily affects children and has been associated with outbreaks of acute encephalitis in India. Encephalitis is inflammation of the active tissues of the brain caused by an infection or an autoimmune response. The inflammation causes the brain to swell, which can lead to headache, stiff neck, sensitivity to light, mental confusion and seizures. This disease occurs by the sting of a vector-infected sand-fly and it mainly affects children aged 9 months - 14 years.  Chandipura virus is a serious pathogen with a rapid onset of severe symptoms, primarily affecting children in certain regions.  However, this disease is not contagious.
