On Friday, Kerala CM, Pinarayi Vijayan, state clearly that he is against the center’s decision to replace the University Grants Commission with the Higher Education Commission. He said that with this move center is trying to restrict the role of the states in matters related to the education. He said “the Center’s ‘unilateral’ decision to do away with the apex higher education regulator, University Grants Commission and replace it with the Higher Education Commission under the Human Resource Development Ministry, will lead to far-reaching repercussions in the field of higher education”. He further said that a similar move was tried by the first UPA government under which the government tried to constitute education commission which could replace the UGC. But their attempt to commercialize the education sector was met with strong opposition from the lest parties and the scheme could not be implemented. He also alleged “Besides commercialization, the BJP had another aim to implement thedecision — saffronization of the educational sector.” “ Those who are against the BJP’s proposed move to do away with the UGC, need to raise their voice,” the chief minister said.

Tripura schools to adopt NCERT curriculum

Tripura schools to adopt NCERT curriculum

State Minister Ratan Lal Nath said “An expert panel has recommended that the Tripura government should adopt National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) curriculum for schools in Tripura”. The panel also suggested to implementing Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) syllabus across all government and government-aided schools. The recommendation was given by a six-member expert committee and suggested to implement CBSE syllabus in schools in order to ease down the burden of books on the children. The committee was headed by Tripura University Vice-Chancellor Professor Arunoday Saha. Arunoday Saha said “we have collected inputs from fifty headmasters and from students of different schools for one month, and after analyzing the data, we have come to the inference that the CBSE syllabus could be implemented from the first to eighth standard from January 2019 as books were already translated in Bengali. For the implementation of the new course from classes 8 to 12, we have to wait for one more year (2020) for two reasons. One is that, the CBSE has decided to revise their syllabus next year (2019), and the books need to be translated into Bengali and local tribal language Kokbarak.” Ratan Lal Nath said that the final decision whether to implement the suggestions of the committee or not will be in the hands of the government. The bad performance of the schools in the Madhyamik examinations conducted by Tripura Board of Secondary Examination (TBSE) this year is another reason why the committee has recommended NCERT syllabus in the schools, Saha said. This year, the pass percentage of the students in the Madhyamik exams were only 59.59 percent.

DUTA: New Higher Education Commission is not in the best interest of the educational institutes

DUTA: New Higher Education Commission is not in the best interest of the educational institutes

The Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA) is completely against the government’s idea of replacing the UGC with the Higher education commission. The DUTA condemned the government’s plan and said that this will only increase the government’s direct interference in the working of the educational institutes. “The present structure is being completely replaced without providing a detailed study of its founding goals, achievements, its shortcomings and their possible reasons and corrective measures taken or required to improve the health of the UGC. Even as the government had to shelve proposal of creating HEERA because of opposition received, dismantling of the UGC to create a new agency looks like a quick desperate step in the same direction,” DUTA said in a statement. "Under the leadership of PM @narendramodi has embarked on a process of reforms of the regulatory agencies for the better administration of the HE sector (sic). In a landmark decision, a draft Act for repeal of #UGC & setting up #HECI (Higher Education Commission of India) has been prepared," Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar tweeted today. According to the draft, the new commission will only focus on the academic matters. "Less government and more governance, separation of grant functions, end of inspection raj, focus on academic quality, powers to enforce compliance to the academic quality standards and to order the closure of sub-standard and bogus institutions are some of the highlights of the new act," the draft says. The DUTA opposed the government’s plan and said that how the shifting of the grants function to the Ministry will reduce government’s interference in the educational institutes in fact, we fear that this will further increase their interference. "There seems to be an attempt to corporatize education sector by focusing on homogeneous, one-size-fits-all administrative models and best practices rather than allowing institutions to evolve them over time, based on their specific needs," the statement said.

Supreme Court imposed a hefty penalty on Medical College for denying admissions to students

Supreme Court imposed a hefty penalty on Medical College for denying admissions to students

The Supreme Court has directed a medical college based in Maharashtra to pay penalty on INR 20 lac. to the students for denying admissions. These students were denied admission to the college "illegally" and "wrongly" six years ago. The court has directed the college to deposit the money within three months with the Pravesh Niyantran Samiti (PNS). PNS is a government body which oversees and regulates admissions in medical colleges. These students were denied admissions in the 2012-13 academic year in MBBS and BDS courses. A bench of justices Arun Mishra and U U Lalit spared the college, Dr. Ulhas Patil Medical College and Hospital, Jalgaon, Maharashtra from derecognition as the college agreed to pay the fine. "As the college has shown the gesture of making payment of penalty to the 19 students, who were deprived of admission, considering the fact that several years have passed and a large number of students have passed out and are undertaking instructions in the college, it would not be appropriate in the facts of the case that once monetary penalty has been imposed to withdraw the recognition... And to dis-affiliate the appellant college," the bench said. The court also directed PNS to send a compliance to the apex court. The court also provided the relief to the less meritorious students by not canceling their admissions. These students were admitted to the college instead of the deserving candidates for the sheer purpose of profit.

"While on the one hand, the government is laying so much emphasis on the 'Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao' programme, on the other hand authorities have done nothing to solve the problem of shortage of staff in the school," a villager said today. He further said “the Panchayat of the village met the district administration several times demanding adequate number of teachers in the school but the administration failed to fulfill the demands.” Dharam Singh, sarpanch of the village, said “The school had no teachers for Sanskrit, Hindi, science and mathematics during the last academic session.

DU admissions 2018 | Servers are under severe pressure during the admission season

DU admissions 2018 | Servers are under severe pressure during the admission season

Servers at the Delhi University are undergoing severe stress as anxious students are generating multiple applications in order to a secure seat in the university after the announcements of first cut-offs. Aspirants can only study for one course but this is not stopping them from generating multiple applications, which is the main cause of the load on the servers in the university. After the release of the first cut-off list on June 19, students frantically started applying for the courses. “Even though students are aware that once the server is active, it will be in service 24×7, they feel that it is a case of first come, first served basis. With so many students logging in at the same time, the server is bound to be under pressure,” said the official. The real problem is that candidates generate applications in excessive numbers despite aware of the fact that they can take admission in one course only, the official added. The official also told “According to admission rules, applicants need to study the cut-off list,select courses and colleges on the university website, take the printout ofthe admission slip and finally approach respective colleges with the slipand required documents. However, candidates, who are probably undecided or unsure, generate more than one admission slip, thereby putting severe pressure on the server”. According to the data shared by Dr. Sanjeev Singh, joint director, Delhi University Computer Center: 28,690 students generated 209607 applicationsMore than 4000 candidates generated more than 10 applicationsOne student generated 333 applications, despite her not being eligible for the admission after the first cut-offAnother student generated 292 applications A team of six students of MSc (Informatics) is working with Mr. Singh to keep the servers up all the time. “We are working 24×7 during the admission season. The lab where we are working is like a war room during this time,” he added.

NEET 2018 counseling | Madras HC made Aadhaar card mandatory for the counseling

NEET 2018 counseling | Madras HC made Aadhaar card mandatory for the counseling

Despite the Supreme Court’s order in March 2018 that Aadhaar card is not mandatory for the NEET registration process, Madras HC yesterday made it compulsory for the candidates to have aadhaar card and its copies if they wish to appear for the medical counseling in Tamil Nadu. The interim order was passed by Justice N Kirubakaran after petitioners alleged that many students from the other states have been given fraudulent certificates of nativity which will affect the scope of the students from TN to get admission into the course/s. As a result, the court has directed the authorities in charge of the counseling process to ask the candidates to produce their Aadhaar cards. Earlier, according to Press Trust of India, a committee of advocates and government officials have informed the court that last year 296 students admitted in the NEET have their native certificated issued without any inquiry or scrutiny. G Karthikeyan, assistant solicitor general (ASG) has asked for some time to get the details of the person/s who have applied in Tamil Nadu as well as in other states. "It is stated that in all other states Aadhaar number of the student has to be provided in the application itself," the judge said after hearing the ASG and counsel for petitioners. The court further said “To confirm that the genuine state candidates are benefited under the state quota, it is appropriate to make the production of Aadhaar card and a photocopy of it compulsory at the time of counseling. By this method, students from other states could be prevented from getting the benefit under the state quota.”

ICSE schools to resume the classes from tomorrow in Kolkata

With weather conditions improving in West Bengal a little, ICSE affiliated schools will resume their normal classes for the students from June 25, 2018, a senior member of the Association of Head of ICSE Schools said. The association's general secretary of Bengal Chapter, Nabarun Dey, said “As the issue came up during the meeting that was held on a different issue yesterday, it was decided that in view of improvement in weather conditions, the schools can resume classes from Monday, and most of them are expected to do so.” West Bengal Education Minister Partha Chatterjee said that the state government has not received any appeal from the schools for resuming the classes from June 25 instead of June 30. The heat has gone down a bit. But, no school has approached us to reduce the number of heat holidays. If any school makes such a request, we will consider it," Mr. Chatterjee told reporters. On June 19, the CISCE has called upon the principals of the affiliated schools in WB and asked them to comply with the order of the state government to suspend the classes. "The government of West Bengal has decided to suspend classes in government, government-sponsored and non-government aided schools in West Bengal from June 20 to 30, 2018 due to extremely hot weather conditions," the CISCE had referred to the state government's June 19 notification, in its letter.

Peon sold BSEB answer sheets as scrap

Peon sold BSEB answer sheets as scrap

On Saturday, Bihar police arrested a scrap dealer after they found one of the missing 42,400 missing class X answer sheets of the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) exams from his shop. The exams sheets went missing from SS Girls High School in Gopalganj and belong to the students from the Nawada district. The arrested scrap dealer was identified as Pappu Gupta. Pappu told that police that he bought all the missing answer sheets from the office attendant of the school. The police have already arrested the office attendant. Pappu further told the police that it may be impossible to find the answer sheets as he has already sold them to another wholesale scrap dealer. Gopalganj Superintendent of Police Rashid Zama said: “We conducted raids at local scrap dealer Pappu Guptaʼs shop and recovered one answer sheet. Gupta said he had purchased answer sheets in bulk from SS Girls Schoolʼs office attendant Chhatu Singh. He said he has been buying scrap from the school since 2014.” SP Zama said “Besides Gupta and Chhatu Singh, one Santosh Kumar, an auto-rickshaw driver who had ferried the answer scripts from the evaluation center to Guptaʼs shop, and the school’s night guard Aashpujan Singh have been arrested”. He also said that police is also questioning some of the ragpickers who move around the school area. Earlier BSEB has said that the missing answer sheets will have no effect on the results as they have already received the marks but if the students whose answer sheets are missing apply for re-evaluation this will be a problem situation for them.

NEET 2019 | Students will be allotted test centers in their respective states

This year, for the NEET exam, more than 2000 candidates have to travel outside of their respective states in order to appear for the exams as NEET authorities failed to provide adequate number of exam centers in Tamil Nadu. Most of the students have to travel to Kerala or Karnataka but some unfortunate ones have to travel to Rajasthan, which leads to confusion and chaos and parents and students expressed their anger on social media after the exam. Keeping the comfort of the students in mind, Human Resources Development (HRD) Minister Prakash Javadekar said that from 2019 students will be given exam centers in their respective states and will not have to travel outside the state. “Next year, students traveling to other parts of the country would not happen. This year the number of cities were increased to 150 from 107 in the previous years for the exam. Now apart from those, any district which has more than 4,000 students will be made a center. It will accommodate all students from that district and surrounding districts” he told reporters. When asked about the errors in the questions in the Tamil version of the exam, the minister said that he is not aware of it and assured that to avoid future complaints, steps such as engaging good translators will be taken.

As President Kovind addressed the 51st convocation of the IIT Kanpur he laid stress on the importance of the technology which can help maximize the reach of the government initiatives to the general public. At the convocation, he gave away 1500 degrees to the students. The President told the students that their graduation is marked by excellent opportunities in the nation. "Today's India offers unprecedented hope and avenues. Our fast-growing economy offers you huge scope. With your talent, your education and your IIT degree, each of you can be a game-changer for India," he said. He also talked about the various initiatives which the government has taken in order to improve the life of the citizens and pointed out some of some schemes such as Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation or AMRUT, the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojna, Digital India, Make in India, Start-up India, and the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. "Technology can be a force multiplier for all these programs. As you build your careers, please attempt to contribute to such national missions," he told the students. He also asked the students to use their talents to upgrade and re-imagine the Kanpur as industrial and commercial hub of the nation. He also talked about how the city was central in the government’s ambitious program to clean the Gange river. "The city is also critical to the success of Namami Gange. This is a program to not merely depollute the Ganga and conserve it from industrial effluents. It goes further. It seeks to rationalize the allocation and usage of the river's waters as well as to develop the Ganga basin," he said. He presented medals and degrees to the meritorious students at the ceremony. "IIT Kanpur started its first batch with just 100 students in 1960 and now 6,500 students are currently studying here. 5,000 students have completed their engineering from IIT Kanpur and they are illuminating the name of India in the world," the President said.

Tripura schools to adopt NCERT curriculum

Tripura schools to adopt NCERT curriculum

State Minister Ratan Lal Nath said “An expert panel has recommended that the Tripura government should adopt National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) curriculum for schools in Tripura”. The panel also suggested to implementing Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) syllabus across all government and government-aided schools. The recommendation was given by a six-member expert committee and suggested to implement CBSE syllabus in schools in order to ease down the burden of books on the children. The committee was headed by Tripura University Vice-Chancellor Professor Arunoday Saha. Arunoday Saha said “we have collected inputs from fifty headmasters and from students of different schools for one month, and after analyzing the data, we have come to the inference that the CBSE syllabus could be implemented from the first to eighth standard from January 2019 as books were already translated in Bengali. For the implementation of the new course from classes 8 to 12, we have to wait for one more year (2020) for two reasons. One is that, the CBSE has decided to revise their syllabus next year (2019), and the books need to be translated into Bengali and local tribal language Kokbarak.” Ratan Lal Nath said that the final decision whether to implement the suggestions of the committee or not will be in the hands of the government. The bad performance of the schools in the Madhyamik examinations conducted by Tripura Board of Secondary Examination (TBSE) this year is another reason why the committee has recommended NCERT syllabus in the schools, Saha said. This year, the pass percentage of the students in the Madhyamik exams were only 59.59 percent.

DUTA: New Higher Education Commission is not in the best interest of the educational institutes

DUTA: New Higher Education Commission is not in the best interest of the educational institutes

The Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA) is completely against the government’s idea of replacing the UGC with the Higher education commission. The DUTA condemned the government’s plan and said that this will only increase the government’s direct interference in the working of the educational institutes. “The present structure is being completely replaced without providing a detailed study of its founding goals, achievements, its shortcomings and their possible reasons and corrective measures taken or required to improve the health of the UGC. Even as the government had to shelve proposal of creating HEERA because of opposition received, dismantling of the UGC to create a new agency looks like a quick desperate step in the same direction,” DUTA said in a statement. "Under the leadership of PM @narendramodi has embarked on a process of reforms of the regulatory agencies for the better administration of the HE sector (sic). In a landmark decision, a draft Act for repeal of #UGC & setting up #HECI (Higher Education Commission of India) has been prepared," Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar tweeted today. According to the draft, the new commission will only focus on the academic matters. "Less government and more governance, separation of grant functions, end of inspection raj, focus on academic quality, powers to enforce compliance to the academic quality standards and to order the closure of sub-standard and bogus institutions are some of the highlights of the new act," the draft says. The DUTA opposed the government’s plan and said that how the shifting of the grants function to the Ministry will reduce government’s interference in the educational institutes in fact, we fear that this will further increase their interference. "There seems to be an attempt to corporatize education sector by focusing on homogeneous, one-size-fits-all administrative models and best practices rather than allowing institutions to evolve them over time, based on their specific needs," the statement said.

After the results, the villagers of the Kabrel were angry and held the government of Haryana and school administration responsible for the poor performance of the girls. "While on the one hand, the government is laying so much emphasis on the 'Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao' programme, on the other hand authorities have done nothing to solve the problem of shortage of staff in the school," a villager said today. He further said “the Panchayat of the village met the district administration several times demanding adequate number of teachers in the school but the administration failed to fulfill the demands.” Dharam Singh, sarpanch of the village, said “The school had no teachers for Sanskrit, Hindi, science and mathematics during the last academic session. The girl students complained a number of times about the shortage of staff.” The villagers cam in the support of the Sarpanch and said that he met concerned officers a number of times and brought the mater to their attention but all his efforts failed. There is no teacher in the school for various subjects in the school, the villagers said. The post of headmaster is also lying vacant for four years.

DU admissions 2018 | Servers are under severe pressure during the admission season

DU admissions 2018 | Servers are under severe pressure during the admission season

Servers at the Delhi University are undergoing severe stress as anxious students are generating multiple applications in order to a secure seat in the university after the announcements of first cut-offs. Aspirants can only study for one course but this is not stopping them from generating multiple applications, which is the main cause of the load on the servers in the university. After the release of the first cut-off list on June 19, students frantically started applying for the courses. “Even though students are aware that once the server is active, it will be in service 24×7, they feel that it is a case of first come, first served basis. With so many students logging in at the same time, the server is bound to be under pressure,” said the official. The real problem is that candidates generate applications in excessive numbers despite aware of the fact that they can take admission in one course only, the official added. The official also told “According to admission rules, applicants need to study the cut-off list,select courses and colleges on the university website, take the printout ofthe admission slip and finally approach respective colleges with the slipand required documents. However, candidates, who are probably undecided or unsure, generate more than one admission slip, thereby putting severe pressure on the server”. According to the data shared by Dr. Sanjeev Singh, joint director, Delhi University Computer Center: 28,690 students generated 209607 applicationsMore than 4000 candidates generated more than 10 applicationsOne student generated 333 applications, despite her not being eligible for the admission after the first cut-offAnother student generated 292 applications A team of six students of MSc (Informatics) is working with Mr. Singh to keep the servers up all the time. “We are working 24×7 during the admission season. The lab where we are working is like a war room during this time,” he added.

NEET 2018 counseling | Madras HC made Aadhaar card mandatory for the counseling

NEET 2018 counseling | Madras HC made Aadhaar card mandatory for the counseling

Despite the Supreme Court’s order in March 2018 that Aadhaar card is not mandatory for the NEET registration process, Madras HC yesterday made it compulsory for the candidates to have aadhaar card and its copies if they wish to appear for the medical counseling in Tamil Nadu. The interim order was passed by Justice N Kirubakaran after petitioners alleged that many students from the other states have been given fraudulent certificates of nativity which will affect the scope of the students from TN to get admission into the course/s. As a result, the court has directed the authorities in charge of the counseling process to ask the candidates to produce their Aadhaar cards. Earlier, according to Press Trust of India, a committee of advocates and government officials have informed the court that last year 296 students admitted in the NEET have their native certificated issued without any inquiry or scrutiny. G Karthikeyan, assistant solicitor general (ASG) has asked for some time to get the details of the person/s who have applied in Tamil Nadu as well as in other states. "It is stated that in all other states Aadhaar number of the student has to be provided in the application itself," the judge said after hearing the ASG and counsel for petitioners. The court further said “To confirm that the genuine state candidates are benefited under the state quota, it is appropriate to make the production of Aadhaar card and a photocopy of it compulsory at the time of counseling. By this method, students from other states could be prevented from getting the benefit under the state quota.”

ICSE schools to resume the classes from tomorrow in Kolkata

With weather conditions improving in West Bengal a little, ICSE affiliated schools will resume their normal classes for the students from June 25, 2018, a senior member of the Association of Head of ICSE Schools said. The association's general secretary of Bengal Chapter, Nabarun Dey, said “As the issue came up during the meeting that was held on a different issue yesterday, it was decided that in view of improvement in weather conditions, the schools can resume classes from Monday, and most of them are expected to do so.” West Bengal Education Minister Partha Chatterjee said that the state government has not received any appeal from the schools for resuming the classes from June 25 instead of June 30. The heat has gone down a bit. But, no school has approached us to reduce the number of heat holidays. If any school makes such a request, we will consider it," Mr. Chatterjee told reporters. On June 19, the CISCE has called upon the principals of the affiliated schools in WB and asked them to comply with the order of the state government to suspend the classes. "The government of West Bengal has decided to suspend classes in government, government-sponsored and non-government aided schools in West Bengal from June 20 to 30, 2018 due to extremely hot weather conditions," the CISCE had referred to the state government's June 19 notification, in its letter.

Peon sold BSEB answer sheets as scrap

On Saturday, Bihar police arrested a scrap dealer after they found one of the missing 42,400 missing class X answer sheets of the Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) exams from his shop. The exams sheets went missing from SS Girls High School in Gopalganj and belong to the students from the Nawada district. The arrested scrap dealer was identified as Pappu Gupta. Pappu told that police that he bought all the missing answer sheets from the office attendant of the school. The police have already arrested the office attendant. Pappu further told the police that it may be impossible to find the answer sheets as he has already sold them to another wholesale scrap dealer. Gopalganj Superintendent of Police Rashid Zama said: “We conducted raids at local scrap dealer Pappu Guptaʼs shop and recovered one answer sheet. Gupta said he had purchased answer sheets in bulk from SS Girls Schoolʼs office attendant Chhatu Singh. He said he has been buying scrap from the school since 2014.” SP Zama said “Besides Gupta and Chhatu Singh, one Santosh Kumar, an auto-rickshaw driver who had ferried the answer scripts from the evaluation center to Guptaʼs shop, and the school’s night guard Aashpujan Singh have been arrested”. He also said that police is also questioning some of the ragpickers who move around the school area. Earlier BSEB has said that the missing answer sheets will have no effect on the results as they have already received the marks but if the students whose answer sheets are missing apply for re-evaluation this will be a problem situation for them.

NEET 2019 | Students will be allotted test centers in their respective states

NEET 2019 | Students will be allotted test centers in their respective states

This year, for the NEET exam, more than 2000 candidates have to travel outside of their respective states in order to appear for the exams as NEET authorities failed to provide adequate number of exam centers in Tamil Nadu. Most of the students have to travel to Kerala or Karnataka but some unfortunate ones have to travel to Rajasthan, which leads to confusion and chaos and parents and students expressed their anger on social media after the exam. Keeping the comfort of the students in mind, Human Resources Development (HRD) Minister Prakash Javadekar said that from 2019 students will be given exam centers in their respective states and will not have to travel outside the state. “Next year, students traveling to other parts of the country would not happen. This year the number of cities were increased to 150 from 107 in the previous years for the exam. Now apart from those, any district which has more than 4,000 students will be made a center. It will accommodate all students from that district and surrounding districts” he told reporters. When asked about the errors in the questions in the Tamil version of the exam, the minister said that he is not aware of it and assured that to avoid future complaints, steps such as engaging good translators will be taken.
