Students can also use a chat service at the board's portal. Counsellors speak seven languages.

Counsellors are trained psychologists who speak Hindi, English, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali and Odia. Calls are free and confidential. The line will run until the last exam in March.

Parents can also use the helpline to ask how to support a child during exams.
