Opportunity class, as we all know is the best way to train your child for selective school entrance exams. But as the world is suffering from COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s OC placement will take a different turn. Usually, for placement of OC, marks attained by a student along with school assessment score played a major role.

However, this year, the authorities have taken the decision to neglect the school assessment score and place a student only based on the test score attained by the student.

We are all concerned about how this will affect our children’s placement. However, this should be taken positively as your child will only be going through one phase of assessment. If your child had worked hard for the exam, then he will definitely get placed in a good school.
