Been there a few times in my school days to get my 12th certificate and other work too, wasn't much of a hassle back then, dunno how it is now. There is a small information counter/form counter etc etc... outside, you can get the information on how to get the certificate from there.

it would be painful to visit the place multiple times to get the certificate... i doubt they can generate it on the spot for me. or they mail it to the address on the form.i hate getting into situations like these

Ushering in what could be the biggest change in the country's school examination system, the Central Board of Secondary Education will introduce an 'open book' section in the final exams for classes 9, 10 and 11 from the current academic year and for class 12 boards from next year (2014-15).
For the 'open book' section — which doesn't mean books can be taken inside the exam hall — students will be given case studies in each subject four months in advance. All questions will be from the given material. This section will carry 20% weightage.

"This section will have questions based only on the case study given to students. The idea is to do away with rote learning and improve students' ability to understand and apply concepts," said CBSE chairman Vineet Joshi.

Why such things never happened when I use to study in school, :/

You should feel lucky that such things were not introduced in your time. CBSE is messing up with the education system heavily and students are paying the price.

It wasn't like it was stellar earlier.

Just for a change, I feel such things are required hightime.

They may be required but problem is the implementation. This openbook is not even openbook. They are giving you 4 months to mug it all up. CBSE has made so many changes in past few years that a student will hardly know what its like to fail academically in 12 years of his school life and by the time he has to face real world, it will be too late.

CBSE has already messed up 10th exams by giving options to students to take school or CBSE exam!
