Re: [MTC Global] IITs failed 63 students in 2014-15, 57 from reserved category

Dear Friends,

The reality of the situation is bit different. these failures are not a new trend or cannot be assigned to reservations. After the coaching centers such as Agrawals, Chaitanyas have entered into the business of JEE coaching, the students stopped learning the subject but merely mugging and practicing questions for JEE. the failures have increased to 22% and the IITs have to conduct summer classes before the Exams. 

The situation is not as simple as some our friends are trying to put it.

Dear All
Good 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.

Reservations should go alright but to me challenge before the institutions today is that now when these students have been admitted how to bring them to desired level of proficiency. Teaching bright students is no big task. I treat indifference of the institutions towards this students as the cause.

Reservations should go.It has not served its purpose which is to help the BPL come up.So everything has been provided and now we know that that is no cure.

The rich among the reserved categories enjoy all the benefits-I know of a girl who came to college in her own car and took Rs 400 scholarship regularly!!

Second, since other categories also failed,thankfully,the process of selection itself need to be looked at. 

Third:I am truly happy they are packing off students-world class universities dont allow languishing. The  resources are of this countries tax payers hard earned monies.More people should hear about this-they will then make a wise choice instead of living in cloud nine

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.
