  4. Niranjana

    Tired of checking results. Are they even going to announce the results or not? They don’t even bother to check. If they aren’t able to a announce it then shouldn’t they even think of informing about it this delay? Quite disappointed.

  5. Leonordo

    NO RESULTS YET!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH CBSE!!

  6. Aditya

    It was declared that the results will be announced on 26th of January and it’s 7th of February today. Why so much delay?

  22. ANISH

    HOW DO YOU ENTER THIS CONTEST ?

  23. Mansidak

    Respected sir,
    I study in 9 class of Xavier school. Now according to the procedure of judging will there be 25 winners in the 9 class of Xavier school or 25 winners from 9 class of whole city?

  24. a request

    I can’t understand how the prizes will be given.

  25. anumay

    Can we use more than one topic from internet?

  26. Shaurya Gupta

    Why are there so less word limits for 8th standard :(

    1. Administrator

      Yes. The limit is very less, but that is what they have given us.

  27. Ashok

    Will there be 25 winners in each class?

    1. Administrator

      Good idea. But there will be 25 winners in each category, not class.

      A panel of experts will select the top 25 entries in each category.

  28. Anna Jordy

    Are we allowed to combine all topics.

    1. Administrator

      I do not think that you can combine topics.
      How did you get the idea of combining topics?

  29. Anna Jordy

    Is there any problem if write more than 200 to 300 words for category 2?
    Can we write more than 300 words?

    1. Administrator

      They have mentioned a limit of 200-300 words for category 2.
      If you exceed this limit by a small margin, it might not be a big problem.
      The more you overstep this limit, the bigger risk you are taking, as they have not mentioned why the limit is set.

      But personally, I suggest you stick to the limits.

  30. Waruni

    What are the criteria for examining the essay?
    On what basis students will be selected?

      Originality of ideas will be given more credit.

    I want to practice, so please suggest me the link.

  32. kashika

    Can we write bilingual essay (using Hindi & English both)?
    Please reply ASAP.

    1. Administrator

      This is not explicitly stated, but generally speaking, bilingual essay is not a good practice. But you have to take your own decision.

      CBSE conducts an essay writing competition , in English and Hindi, for students in schools located in India and outside the country.

  33. Hiteshi garg

    I don’t understand the title of the essay “A true hero is a unifying force in a diverse society”

      Means that a good personality can. Unify everybody in today’s society

  34. anjali jha

    Can we take some points from the net?
    Can we take the help of our grown ups?
    Can we frame our own points and views based on the topic?
    Please answer these questions, as I have to submit my essay on Monday and today it is already Friday. I would be thankful if you help me.

    1. Administrator

      The answers for all your questions is : YES.

      You can refer internet, consult elders and even take help from your teachers.
      But the essay has to be framed with your own wordings. Your essay will be checked for plagiarism to see if you copied verbatim from any source. So write your own original essay, with reference from internet for facts.

      All the best.

  39. Aspin AK

  43. deydeepya lakshmi

  46. pranav Kumar Ravi

    Is the IFSC code of my father is applicable, as I am not having bank account.

    1. Administrator

      According to this quote, the answer is no. Why don’t you get yourself a bank account?

      The entries must be accompanied by the duly filled form and undertaking by the School Head along with IFSC code of students.

  47. ananya

    My school had not given information about this. What shall I do? I want to participate in this competition.

    1. Administrator

      You cannot apply individually. You can apply only through your school.

  48. pranav Kumar Ravi

    Please let us intimate which format will be available. I am not having bank account therefore whether my father’s IFSC code is applicable?

  49. anonymous

    Great idea.
    But I hope that the judges would check the internet and disqualify essays that are similar.
    A girl did that this year for the constitution day essay writing competition and she won.
    This should not be encouraged.
    Who are all participating please don’t do this. You are stealing others hard work.

  50. Nancy Verma

    I like this competition. The topics are very interesting .

    1. sunita

      Hi Nancy Verma,
      I am also very excited and happy because category-3 “THE CHANGES ROLE OF CITIZENSHIP FROM PRE-INDEPENDENCE INDIA TO THE PRESENT” is very interesting.

  51. pragati joshi

    I think that you are giving awards to winners which is good but you should at least give a certificate to each participating students. I hope you will think about it.

    1. malay

      I support this.

      There is NO mention of NOT taking help from parents, relatives, neighbors, and internet in the prospectus.
      So, I would assume – yes, you can get all help you can.

  61. anne

    My school had chosen only two topics from each category.
    Should a school choose only two topics in each category?

    1. Administrator

      There is a limitation in number of topics in each category.
      The limitation is five topics per category and not two.

      The top 05 essays only, in each category, may be sent for the competition by each participating school.

    What is the meaning of the topic – “Discovering hero within myself”?
    Please tell me. Then only I have to prepare my topic also.
    One more query. Can we take some help from internet?

    1. Administrator

      I think taking help from internet is not a problem.

  69. Anjali

    Pls don’t give complicated questions.

    1. Anjali bansal

      We should not think of the difficulties, but should try to handle the situation positively.

  70. Sidharthkapoor

    What I can interpret is that a student can learn the content at home with the help of internet /parents and write it in school on a prescribed date. So where is the originality of idea which you are going to check? It is plagiarism encouraging exercise!

    1. Anonymous

      Very nice view.

  71. Ritik gupta

    Is the competition for all the students of any CBSE board school?

    1. Administrator

      It looks like a open competition to all CBSE schools, though the word CBSE is missing.
