Madras University Exams
I have heard a lot of University of Madras engineering students claiming that the semester exam correction is totally random and you could do really well and still get only a 45 on 100 or you could do really badly and still manage an eighty or a ninety.
Actually thinking carefully, that’s not true in most cases. Over the years, the people you expect to do well – do well, and the people you expect to just pass – just pass. So, what’s the problem with the grading? Of course, some mistakes do happen and that’s solely because of an insanely large number of students appearing for these exams every time.
Maybe its just fashion to complain about the grading system, maybe its just like how people keep saying that the world’s largest software company Microsoft creates stupid products (then why does everybody buy them), maybe it spices up conversations, maybe the person who is talking has been affected by it (that’s acceptable, in that case, according to me, the CBSE grading sucks), I don’t know.
But the point is: There’s not much that is wrong with the grading in Madras University. Guess, it’s easier to make this statement once you know for sure, you are never going back to that place again! If I knew that there’s the minutest of chances that I’ll go back to Madras University, I would never make this statement, and that’s what is wrong with the grading! The way they conduct things, it doesn’t give you the confidence that they are doing things right.

hmm...there are at least two stands to every issue...and the bottom line is that what matters at any stage should be talent, motivation, hardwork not caste...it is a fact that caste has been destroying our country ever since anyone can remember...this reservation business is only going to fuel that destruction...it is true that there will probably be some good coming out of it...since any new move that is made in a society will benefit some and harm some...
1) it will help the motivated SC/ST people who don't have educational resources but what would happen to a person who does not why integration between two points in a curve is the area under that curve, if he/she were put in IIT bombay...of course a few would fight and learn even if they dont know and come out bright and successful and some would drop out since the house that is built on a weak foundation someday will fall...
2)of course these things might happen even to a FC person who came out as a state rank holder...he/she might drop out too with the pressure...
BUT...wherever these people are from and whatever the hell their damn caste is...they deserve a competition on equal grounds...since all that matters in the end is their will to become what they want to be...
that "will" will get them the IIM/IIt seats whoever they are...not reservations!!
