IIT admission:

some posers to young iitians:

a) am i right in saying that if we allow school board exams numbers to be added, major advantage will be to urban and elite school students no matter which board?

b) is it true that rural schools score lower marks even if the students have higher intelligence due to porer teachers and thus poorer ability to articulate?

c) do you think that if we really want to make the playing field levelled and completely meritocratic, then we have to move beyond KOta and other coaching institutes to build capacity in all districts of india?

d) do you feel that even in school exams, those who can afford coaching for 12th have considerably high advantage than those who can not?

e) do you agree that if Super30.org  kind of initiatives in Patna and elsewhere are able to send even 60 per cent school marks rural poor children to IITs, it is entirely due to the fact that they are able to bridge the competence gap with in one year of coaching Post school?

if your answer is yes to all or most questions, then do you support the suggestion that:

MHRD invests about 1000 crores or so per year , in arranging tutorial for 100 bright students in  Navodaya vidyalaya situated in each of the 600 plus districts and ensures that really bright students have no disadvantage because they can not afford coaching and other preparatory inputs.

If you agree, then pl write a letter to minister of HRD and convey your support  for this initiative. Tell MHRD that without building capacity of meritorious students, the advantage will remain with students who can afford coaching for school and post school exam.

I am completely in support of jee to be managed by IIT faculty and iit faculty alone;  and the other institutions use its score as they do  do in CAT
