TNPCEE again !!! Nosecut to Politics ....

The High court order on CET for Engineering admissions finally proved that the state goverment should not interfere in Education . Even though there is lot of Discussion going on still as its too late as students missed out the Preparation time. I will say, even though the court came up with the 0rder so late this is a lesson for all poltical people. Atleast hereafter they should not play with the students life and the Education bodies like AICTE . Nobody can deny that our Engineering and Management education is one of the important key factors which made INDIA TOP and still its fuelling the growth of our ECONOMY.

Here a lot of my collegemates are debating the on standard of the TNPCEE , +2 Exam Questions and how its tough for RURAL students to get good marks in TNPCEE in Mayil's blog. I think the standard of +2 syllabus and public exam question have been improved a lot by increasing one mark questions and compulsory problems in long answers section. So I hope this pattern will decrease the number of centumn scorers and certainly a student with good analytical knowledge/Problematic knowledge gets good marks instead of guys with good power eating and vomiting of the book ( By heart - a good name those ppl give ). This is also a primary reason why so many TN students are not able to crack national level entrance exams like AIEEE and IITJEE.

Even the the politicians saying that rural students missing out because of TNPCEE , today's Hindu says

"Analyst Jayaprakash Gandhi noted that the urban-rural divide that the State Government sought to address by abolishing the CET ran deeper. Even going by the Plus Two marks, students from the rural areas and "educationally backward districts" could not match their counterparts from the urban and semi-urban centres. Taking the case of the medical stream, he said 1,370 students secured 199 out of 200 in 2005. Among them were 377 students who had got it through "improvement." The remaining 993 were the regular students. A study of these students showed that none of them came from eight of the `education districts' considered backward, such as Gudalur, Aranthangi, Ariyalur, Musiri, Lalgudi and Karaikal (Pondicherry.) In another 17 educational districts in rural areas, only 15 students figured in that list. About 900 of these students came from 32 education districts in urban and semi-urban areas. "This only shows that even if admissions are only by Plus Two marks, the objective of favouring the rural students cannot be achieved,"

So instead of lowering the standard the goverment should do something to make students aware of all sought of entrance exams and can give coaching for them. But I will say there is still a lot of gap between rural and city students in terms of exposure. I felt that when i entered into college from my village. I really felt I'm in very last position in the race. I really amazed to see guys reading big English novels like Sidney Shelton .. etc. You may think that I'm from tamil medium. But Im from english medium passed my tenth in matric syllabus and finished my 12th in state board syllabus. What I mean to say is there is a big gap between a rural student and city student in terms of exposure immaterial of the education system.
