Students spend two years to prepare for national board exams to score high for admission to professional institutes of eminence. But these institutes conduct their own entrance exams, and do not attach relevant importance to national board results. What do you think about this process?
The present admissive scenario of some institutions has put the children in a state of fix where they are being pulled by the school curriculum and the entrance exam syllabus simultaneously. The institutes have devised their system of the intake of students which is separate from the compulsory national exams making them a mere eligibility. I firmly disagree with the statement as it puts undue pressure on the students and the parents. Foremostly, the national board exams are controlled by the government which makes it transparent and fair. The syllabus, designed by expert professionals, which includes the cohesive knowledge needed by students for further education, is uniform in the whole nation. Also, it is the primary qualifying examination recognised all over the world and upholds a position of utmost status. Consequently, students and parents spend their resources in terms of time and money to pass them with flying colours. On the other hand, the individual entrance exams have flourished a business of tuition centres which extract massive money from the parents forcing children to immerse themselves in the process, depriving them of all the other activities. Also, the entrance tests include problems which are more complex in nature and failure to clear these makes some young otherwise enthusiastic children depressed leading them to take fatal actions. Since the institutions undermine the importance of the national exams, the process inadvertently leads children to take schools humorously. This has led to a decline in the quality of education in many schools because of the non-attendance of children. In all, a trust should be placed in the national board examinations helping the parents and students focus on one comprehensive examination. A singular system needs to be enforced and the multiplicity of the agencies should be discouraged.
