The question on everybody’s mind is when the exam date sheet would be out. This is about the exams for classes 10 and 12 that take place every year.

It is about what exam falls on what day. This can only be answered by the date sheet for CBSE Board Exams 2024.

So the question once again is when will the date sheet for classes 10 and 12 exams be out?

CBSE Board Exams 2024 date sheet release time

The trend is to bring out the date sheets about a month or month-and-a-half before the first examination day.

This means, the date sheets could be out about 30 to 45 days before the first day of the board exams.

Registration

Application submission for CBSE Board Exams 2024 is likely to commence in December 2023. Registrations are expected to start shortly after the release of exam schedule.

Candidates can apply for CBSE Board Exams 2024 through their educational institutions, while the private candidates can apply directly through the official website for board exams.

The numbers

A total of 21,84,117 students registered for class 10 exams in 2023. Over 21,65,805 students appeared for the exams and 20,16,779 cleared the exam.

Pass percentage class 10 board exams in 2023 stood at 93.12. A total of 16,80,256 students applied for class 12 board exams in CBSE stream in 2023.

About 16,60,511 students appeared for the exams and 14,50,174 passed the class 12 exams in the CBSE stream in 2023, the pass percentage was 87.33.

The registration for CBSE Board Exams 2024 is also expected to be similar to the one recorded in 2023. As the time moves ahead, a clear picture will be out.

Sources say, the results for board exams 2024 in CBSE stream can be declared by first or second week of May 2024. In case of delay, CBSE Board Exams 2024 results could be out in last week of May or first week of June 2024.

Those who have passed CBSE Board Exams 2024 can either move to the next phase of learning (class 11 or graduation) or can prepare for entering into employment.

Hard work with determination alone will bestow success for the students in CBSE Board Exams 2024, details about the exams can be obtained from the official website.

The official website has been mentioned above, students can visit it for information about CBSE Board Exams at regular intervals.

They also can stay in touch with authorities concerned in their respective schools for information regarding CBSE Board Exams 2024.

Designed to monitor the freshness of seafood in real-time by responding to pH changes, the film offers a practical solution for improving food safety and reducing waste.

This film detects the release of volatile amines, compounds typically associated with spoilage, and indicates food quality through visible color changes, say sources from NIT Rourkela.

These natural components make the film biodegradable, safe, and responsive, aligning with sustainability goals and offering a non-invasive way to assess seafood freshness.

Findings

The findings of this research have been published in the journal Food Packaging and Shelf Life in a paper co-authored by Prof. Preetam Sarkar (as the lead corresponding author), along with his research scholars, Mr. Rahul Thakur, Miss Harshi Singhi, Mr. Vedsagar Rajesh Suryavanshi, and Dr. Ravichandran Santhosh.

Other co-authors in this work include Dr. Khalid Gul from NIT Rourkela, Dr. Swarup Roy from Lovely Professional University, Dr. Srinivas Janaswamy from South Dakota State University, Brookings, USA and Dr. Kirtiraj K. Gaikwad from IIT Roorkee.

Fishing

India is the world’s second-largest fish-producing nation, contributing approximately 8% of global fish production, say NIT Rourkela researchers.

It also holds the distinction of being the top five producer of shrimp globally, with frozen shrimp being the top export commodity.

Given the scale and importance of seafood production, innovations that ensure freshness and reduce spoilage are of immense value, say NIT Rourkela researchers.

In this context, intelligent packaging systems, which preserve food while monitoring its quality, are rapidly gaining global interest.

Unlike conventional packaging that serves merely as a protective barrier, the intelligent packaging film developed by NIT Rourkela team offers visual cues about the product’s condition, making it a promising solution for enhancing food safety and reducing waste.

The beetroot peel extract was prepared separately, and then combined with the starch, gum tragacanth, and a small amount of glycerol to cast the films.

These were dried and tested for their pH-sensitivity and effectiveness in monitoring seafood freshness, said Prof Preetam of NIT Rourkela.

Pigments

Beetroot peels contain betalains, a group of pigments known for their bright colours and pH sensitivity, say NIT Rourkela researchers.

These pigments also offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits, making them suitable for food-related applications.

Incorporating these natural compounds into the starch-based film creates a biodegradable, safe, and responsive packaging material.

When the seafood begins to spoil and pH levels rise, the film changes colour, providing a clear visual indicator of freshness.

Starch

The choice of Kodo millet starch and gum tragacanth contributes to the film’s biodegradable and eco-friendly profile.

Kodo millet is an underutilised grain with excellent film-forming properties, while gum tragacanth enhances the mechanical strength and flexibility of the material.

The researchers believe that using such agricultural by-products not only supports sustainability but also adds value to food processing waste, such as beetroot peels.

At the laboratory scale, the cost of producing the film was estimated approximately Rs. 900 per kilogram.

When scaled up for industrial production, the cost is projected to range between Rs. 400 and Rs. 600 per kilogram, making it a potentially viable option for commercial use.
