Effective teacher is one who struggles for medicore students to bring them up to a certain high level, bench mark. The teacher cannot be said effective simply because s/he just happens to be in a reputed institute where students of higher calibre are admitted who do not need almost no assistance or less guidance.
I used to regularly visit the hostel, at least 3 days/week at night for 2-3 hours to help assist the students that had given a big dividend, rank-holders in university exam, good placement, high passing results, etc. This is the case when I was in the Govt College of Engineering, Karad, a Taluka rural place with about 60000 population.

Dear Sir, I agree with Goel Sir that reservation by itself is not a bad thing. In fact,
it has never tarnished the reputation of any institute while providing opportunities to
the disadvantaged to improve and achieve excellence. There are several strategies that
can make the campus experience more inclusive.
Firstly, The institutes have to encourage students not just from the reserved lot but
also from even the more endowed students to attend these supplementary and supportive
courses that will raise the minimum standard of every one attending them.
Secondly, in campuses like the IITs a lot of learning actually takes place in the hostels
in an informal environment, so the disadvantaged students may be encouraged to find a
"friendly student teacher" to assist and coach the weaker students. I have found that
students genuinely interested in learning will find these student teachers naturally. An
intervention by the institute to actually identify and train them would help not only the
weaker students but also the 'student teachers"
Thirdly, career guidance, participation in extra curricular projects and activities will
actually breathe a level of confidence that the weaker students will discover for
themselves that they are second to none.
Fourthly, and this is important, there should not be any dilution of the standards either
with the level of difficulty of the question paper or with the assessment of answer
sheets. This will ensure that the students who pass out from the Institute are at the
same level of attainment.
I do believe that a student may fail not for his proficiency but for his poorly formed
attitudes.
Best regards,
K.Paranjpe

Failing a student is also an indication of the failure of the faculty and the institutes.
Unfortunately, most professors in our universities do not think they are there to help
those who are struggling. In IITs the smart students do not need any help from the
professors, they usually take care of themselves. It is those who are struggling sometime
go to the extremes of committing suicide.
One of the problems of higher education in India is that professors do not take any
responsibility for the failure of students. They are not held accountable for poor
performance of their students.There is a need to provide additional support and services
to such students in a timely fashion. Appropriate counselling,tutoring and mentoring of
students who are lagging behindcanyieldbetter results.Unfortunately, in most universities
there is no intervention of any sort to deal with poor performing students. Above all,
professors and their institutes need some sort of soulsearching; theyshould recognize
poor performance of their students as their own failings. Whathappenedto all that great
Guru? Cheers.

Dear AllGood Morning.No faculty or Institute ever fails a student. Student does not get
minimum passing marks because of his own performance.

I agree Goelji but what is alarming is the huge chasm between those who can and cant.This
divide starts by the third standard .The exposure ,the push to know more,the many other
skills in the advantages community is enormous.With scare resources getting scarcer,
institutions will be forced to hand hold the best and the rest of them hanging at the
edge will fall off .Therefore revisiting reservation is important.So we are not into
contributing to cliched thinking and reinforcing certain prejudices.

wrote:Fiftyfive of the 63 students who failed to secure the prescribed minimum grade in
six IITs during 2014-15 session belonged to the reserved category, Lok Sabha was informed
today.
"The IITs have a rigorous academic system that prescribes minimum grades to be obtained
by the students for continuation in the IIT system. During the year 2014-15, a total of
63 students in undergraduate courses have failed to secure the prescribed minimum grade
in 6 IITs," Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani said in a written reply.
Out of the failed students 8 were from General category, 9 from OBC, 16 and 30 from
Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) category respectively. The OBCs, SC and ST
students constituted a whopping 87.3 per cent of those who failed to make the cut.
The minister's response came to a question about how many students had been expelled from
prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology on the ground of their performance.
In an unprecedented action by any IIT, the institute at Roorkee had in July this year
expelled 73 students whose performance was not up to the mark after their first-year
BTech programme.
A group of 64 students had moved Uttarkhand High Court against the decision, but the
court had upheld the institute's decision.
However, the institute reinstated the students in August this year as a "one-time
measure" and said they will be on an academic probation throughout the year and have been
re-admitted on strict conditions.
"The IIT Council has discussed the matter and implemented a system called Peer group
Assisted Learning (PAL) to handhold students who are socially and educationally
backward," she added.[Source: Financial Express, 21.12.2015]-- EDUCATE, EMPOWER,
