I have been reading about how our HRD minister has gone about
browbeating the states into accepting the ISEET exam. He is displaying
the same arrogance with which he has been exonerating folks involved
in various scams in the union government, giving instant judgments in
scams and “consensus” decisions regarding ISEET. He would do well to
answer the following questions and give official and firm commitments
instead of the usual “notional” concepts he is used to dealing with
when defending the government.
1. Why two exams are needed? (basic & advanced)
2. Who will admit based on advanced test, will it left to each
state/deemed university or college to decide?
3. Why there is no firm plan to conduct these exams in all official
languages of India?
4. Why syllabus that is common across various boards not a basis,
instead of forcing it to be based on CBSE only?
5. If CBSE only is going to be there why is he not giving two more
years for states to start with the batch that will join now and start
participating from 2014?
6. What about Minority Institutions and Deemed Universities, will they
be forced to abolish their own exams and admit only based on ISEET?
7. When these tests are conducted, there is normalization across the
whole nation, with state specific ranks also given. Then where is the
need for additional weight-age to the board marks?
Instead of answering such basic questions and espousing common sense
understanding he arrogantly declares “Consensus” when states are
openly expressing concern (AP, Bengal etc.) and outright opposition
(Kerala/Karnataka/TN etc.).
This will lead to another round lengthy litigation only in the Supreme
Court, this UPA government has displayed total contempt and arrogance
for the states, ISEET now joins the long list of issues which include
NCTC etc…
Too bad, that what could have been of big relief to students is going
through these pains simply because of Sibal’s arrogance….
