ADMISSION TO SCHOOL

Getting admission to good school is more difficult than getting a good job these days. One has to follow a set of process. All most all-good schools advertise in newspapers regarding their admission schedule. Application forms can be taken from the schools office or buy a registered post. Forms are to be completed and carefully filled in. incomplete forms are rejected. Different schools adopt different method of selection. Some holds a competitive test for selection. Most of admit students on the basis of marks obtained in the previous board examination. Students are selected for admission. Then they are called in interview. Both the academics performance plus dynamism in extra curricular activities decide the issue. If the admission board is satisfied with the performance and ability of the student, he is allowed to take admission other wise he will be rejected. Most of the good institutes select those students who got good marks in previous board exam. In this situation most of the student’s career tends to be end.

There are number of institutions for a number of courses. But there is no uniformity in educational status of these institutions. There is a Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya almost in every district; these schools are reputed but all other schools in the districts are useless, here the question arises why? This is only because JNVs are nurtured and nourished by central government. Similarly IITs are the premier institutions only because they pompously or generously funded by HRD ministry. AIIMS is highly reputed because government of India funds it. Why other institutions are shelved in the cupboard of dingy rooms. The other institutions produce such young minds that are already harassed, called sub graded. They have very low confidence, they rug their shoulders in bazaar of fortune. Why? The only fault is that they couldn’t pass a single test for admission in those premier institutions. This damn test of caliber has ability to ruin the career of students.

Isn’t it well thought step to prevent all the students to pursue their dreams. Why not there are 100 IITs why not all the schools in villages are turned into JNVs. why only small set of students are being taught in elegant sophisticated mode.

In result of this dualism, the high voltage drama, the tensed mood, the depressed attitude are shown all over in student’s camps. Many of them commit suicide after failing in tests. I don’t know who wins in this race and enjoys all these tough games. This is why I say most depressed community is student’s community. In the country where taking admission in institution is a mountain some task, the dead slow development process is easily understandable.
