INDORE: Schools affiliated with CBSE are now opting for various alternatives to allot streams to students since they have been promoted to Class XI without writing all papers of Class X.

Emerald Heights International School has already conducted a psychometric test of all students of Class 10.

"The test was already done prior in advance and 75 % of the students are cleared about the streams that they had planned. With the remaining 25% students, we are conducting one on one zoom meeting to understand the aptitude," career counsellor of the school Vandana Murjani told TOI.

Schools are also opting for know your aptitude (KYA) test as suggested by CBSE via digital platforms to give subject stream for the new admissions in the schools. Daly College has been giving subjects to students as per their choice. "Only when we feel that they won't be able to cope up with the stream we try to counsel them and make them understand. However, the subjects are still given according to the choice of students," principal Neeraj Kumar Bhedotiya told TOI. Several private schools have also been opting to give the subjects on the basis of pre-board or other internal assessments conducted by the schools.

Schools, including Queens College, Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar, Delhi Public School and New Digamber Public School have opted to give streams on the basis of marks obtained by the students in their pre-board exam which used to get upgraded after the results of the board exam.

Some of the schools have also been opting for one on one counselling of the students along with their parents so as to analyse students' aptitude and give them the stream. Choithram School and many convent schools have given Google form to students to give their choice of subjects and after counselling the students along with parents via video conferencing or telephonic call, the streams are given.
