Any medium can be opted as per the student�s and guardian�s convenience, to reach out to CBSE Counsellers with their respective concerns.

Out of them, 49 Principals will help Indian students ,while remaining 10 will serve in other countries such as Nepal, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Al Khobar, Riyadh), Japan, UAE (Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah) and Kuwait. In addition to the trained Principals, few Psychologists will also participate in the Tele- Counselling Programme.
Students can dial the centralized CBSE Counselling toll free number 1800 11 8004 from any part of the country, and upon request, the operator can connect the caller directly to the councellor/Principal.
The examinees and Parents if want can also mail directly their queries and concerns to �CBSE On-line counselling� by dropping a mail at: [email protected] and [email protected].
Furthermore, CBSE will also publish expert�s answers to the queries of students in the weekly question answer columns which will be published in National Dailies such as Hindustan Times including HT Main and HT Horizon (Education), Malyalam Manorama and Amar Ujala during the month of February 2014.
The students can also make use of the �Helpline� tab in the CBSE official website: www.cbse.nic.in, to know how to deal with the exams and to read the techniques, to cope with exam related anxiety.
