Y CBSE donot give us proper education for cracking iit
Chandigarh, May 1
The IIT-JEE (joint entrance exam) is one of the toughest competitive exams in the world. Every year over 1,75,000 students appear in it while only 3500 manage to clear. The fact that only 2 per cent students get through despite professional coaching and rigorous hard work speaks volumes about its high standards.
The IIT-JEE (joint entrance exam) is one of the toughest competitive exams in the world. Every year over 1,75,000 students appear in it while only 3500 manage to clear. The fact that only 2 per cent students get through despite professional coaching and rigorous hard work speaks volumes about its high standards.
Papers are set on a totally unpredictable pattern. Not even a single question has been repeated in this examination for the past 30 years. A wrong answer invites negative marking.
Only a thorough and systematic preparation can be a guide to achieve success. The IIT examination checks the analytical approach and understanding ability of the students. Cramming definitely does not help.
An expert, Deepak Mukherji from Delhi, talked to The Tribune on the issue here today. Mr Mukherji has worked with various IITians in companies like Boeing, Dupont, Lucent technologies, Metlife Insurance. At present, he is an adviser to PIE education. He was in the city to speak at a seminar.
The CBSE system does not equip the students with required knowledge and understanding necessary to clear the IIT entrance exam. There is a great need to add practical application aspect to education, he said.
He was of the opinion that these days teachers are in hurry to finish the course and don't give any importance to professionalism. One reason could be that most of them are not being paid well. The basic foundation of education should be strong with a practical approach. There are generally two categories of students -- one which memorizes books and the other which believes in going to the root and solving the problem. Those students who want to clear the IIT exam should focus on solving the problem.
Recounting the changes that have taken place over a period of time he said "In my times when a student used to take tuitions he never used to tell anyone about it because he was looked down upon as half-witted. But these days if a student is not taking coaching classes for competitive exams, then it sounds odd. A lot of changes have taken place and evolving technology is impacting education".
He feels that the biggest problem with the younger generation is that they don't have any certain direction to follow. There are so many choices in career avenues that they confuse them. Every year the market expects something much higher as compared to previous year. All they need to do is to choose the right direction and prepare systematically for any competitive exams. Choosing a good coaching centre could help in developing an analytical approach.
His suggestion to the youngsters is that they should have a dream and then they should chase it passionately. In that cae, the dream destination won't be far away.
