Kapil Sibbals ( HRD Minister) statement that the Students will have to achive 80% marks in the 12th Exam,in order to sit for the IIT Jee examinations. Now , this is ridiculous. There has been wide criticism for this statement all over. In support of his claim he adds that he want to clear the web of the coaching centers surrounding prestigious enterances Examinations like IIT,IIM, medical etc.
Mr.Minister has forgotten that India has more than 25 state education boards and millions of students sit for their 12th exams.The average percentage achieved is not more than 58%. These student come from poor bakground and cannot afford to pay hefty Fees of the CBSE Public Schools.Moreover, the medium of Instruction in these State Governed schools is the state language. The Examination pattern is the same old one, wherein the student learn by heart the entire subject and sit in the examination to attain more and more percentage.
Unlike CBSE , the state board sylabus is not revised every year and the examination pattern not changed from Marking to Grade System. These changes in the CBSE has definitely led to the increase of the passing percentage as well as Marks percentage in Boards like CBSE and ICSE.The students of these boards are more Objective in thought and knowledge helping them attain higher percentage in the Board examination which also support the same pattern of thought and expression.
I strongly support Sibbals view when he says that he want to put out the coaching Institute Industry out of education.But this is a Himalayan Task. They could only be removed through Resolution in parliament, What I feel? U curb them on one, they will start the another. The industry will shift to pass out the students in the 12th Exam.
Hence, Mr.Minister should have a second thought on it and revoke his decision for the good of the students belonging to moderate or poor background studying in Govt: funded schools all over India.
