The hue and cry over the Intermediate Physics paper this year reflected how fragile our examination and evaluation system is. A slight deviation from the set standards of question paper setting shook thousands of students including bright ones who score no less than 90 per cent at any given time.[/font][/color][color=#3B3A39][font=Georgia,]
Such was the impact of the changed paper setting that nearly 31 per cent students failed in Physics alone while failures in other subjects such as Mathematics were just 12 per cent and Chemistry 11 per cent. About 60,000 candidates secured the exact pass mark of 21 while only 649 students secured 60 out of 60. It is quite apparent that those who secured the exact pass marks did so due to some liberal valuation of teachers at the camps.[/font][/color][color=#3B3A39][font=Georgia,]
Though the government succumbed to the pressures of students and parents to some extent providing some relief in the supplementary exams to those appearing for the paper again, the focus has now shifted to teaching of Intermediate subjects. Are the students learning the subject for knowledge and is the teaching designed for that, or are they being prepared for the marks that have relevance only to the next level of their study – either engineering or a conventional degree course?[/font][/color][color=#3B3A39][font=Georgia,]
The very thought of considering the Intermediate marks weightage in the EAMCET rank was to cut down the increasing trend of learning by ‘bits' and ‘pieces' as the corporate colleges prepared students only for the entrance exams totally ignoring Intermediate education.[/font][/color][color=#3B3A39][font=Georgia,]
The Dayaratnam Committee, consisting of eminent academicians, recommended 50 per cent weightage initially, and five years after the new system has been adopted, qualifying marks could be considered as the sole criterion for admission into all professional courses.[/font][/color]
