One Nation, One Board , One Entrance Exam really ?

Our HRD Minister Kapil sibal recently introduced a proposal to make one board across the nation. He has introduced the idea of One Nation, One Education Board which will see students across the country study same subjects and write the same examination.

On the same line it was discussed to have a single entrance exam like for engineering. (Efforts are underway to hold a single national-level entrance test for students to get admission into engineering, medical and commerce courses from 2013, HRD minister Kapil Sibal on 16 ^th Fab 2010. "Efforts will be put to hold an All-India national test in science and commerce from 2013. This will smoothen the admission process into engineering, medical, economics and commerce courses," Sibal said, addressing a meeting of the Council of School Board of Education (COBSE) here. He said this will reduce burden on students who are appearing in multiple-tests for admission)

Do you think effort has been made to make this dream come true in 2013?

Recent News: CCB has increased the counseling participation fee for the universities from Rs.2.50 lakh to Rs.10 lakh this year. Many universities /colleges have opted out from CCB. However it is not very clear why these universites have opted out from CCB Counselling . But according to news it seems universites are not happy with Money hike.

Whatever may be the reason the students are suffering due to this CCB action as they have to fill separate form, need to pay extra and need to attend separate counseling.

So, is this a action to unite the Universities in a single window or is it going other way ?

HC refuses to stay declaration of results of IIT-JEE

The Delhi High Court today refused to stay declaration of results of prestigious IIT Joint Entrance Examination for 2010-11 on the allegations that there were errors in instructions in question papers and a faulty marking system was adopted by the organising committee for the tests.

The High Court also declined to give a direction to IIT for holding the examination afresh.

"We are dismissing the applications (for staying the declaration of results and conducting afresh the entrance tests)," a Bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Madan B Lokur and Justice Mukta Gupta said on two separate PILs filed in this regard.

The results were scheduled to be declared on May 26.

However, the court kept the petitions filed on the issue pending by directing the IIT's organising committee for JEE to demonstrate before it on June 2 the software adopted for evaluation of answer sheets.

CBSE Class XI Admissions through CGPA System

CBSE Class XI AdmissionThe Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has finally declared its Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) system, the key policy governing allocation of streams in Class XI.A formal notification regarding the same will reach all schools by Monday.

The score card of all qualifying students will have a grade point for individual subject, a cumulative grade which will be equivalent to the aggregate percentage and an appropriate multiplier that will help schools to break the ‘tie’ situation and get the actual performance of every student.

“We had got a query from the DPI (S) of Chandigarh, who expressed his apprehension over the admission process to be followed with large number of students expected to get the same grade. We have informed him that we would be out with CGPA within next two days and it would be the governing rule for all admissions. It’s a pilot test and hope it works well,” Said, Rama, Public Relations Officer, CBSE.

Certain private schools have ironically filled almost 95 per cent of their sets on provisional basis using pre-boards marks as the key criteria. According to educationists most of the parents speculating confusion over admissions played it safe by admitting their children even before declaring of the board results.

The private schools when apprised of this system said that it was too late to adopt it as the board results are just a few days away, though the government institutions would go by the CBSE directives.
