Ban Common Entrance Test (CET) Exam
Posted by Prof. Vikas Mathkari at 5:00 PM
All the Students who aspire to get admission to the Engineering and Medical streams have to appear for the the Common Entrance Test (CET) exam. I strongly believe that we have to relook at the utility and the purpose of this exam.Our curriculum till 12th Std is quite comprehensive and so is the system of examinations. The HSC Board exam has the right mix of subjective and objective type questions which really test the ability of the student. The Board Examinations are also conducted in an impartial and fair manner. As against this the CET is just a multiple type question exam which only tests one aspect of the student. Any multiple type question exam will have limitations in checking the the students with respect to their ability to express, language skills, analytical and reaoning skills etc.In the light of this, we really need to ask ourselves a simple question: Why purpose does the CET serve?I have kept a small poll open till the 3rd of April to get a feedback from all you people. But remember this is not a multiple choice test! Apart from saying “Yes” or “No” to the poll, i urge you to write in your comments and suggestions so that we can understand the pains and the issues faced by the Students and take some action on them.
Hope to hear from you soon!
