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 i
t 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 ?
