Look at what happens after your 12th board exam. Some universities admit students on the basis of your entrance exam only and some others admit only on the basis of board score. Universities should instead look at the overall profile of the student including but not limited to:-<br /><br />1) Entrance score<br />2) Board score (12th)<br />3) Board score (10th)<br />4) Academic performance from 6-12<br />5) Involvement in extra curricular activities like drama, quiz, debate in inter/intra school fests.<br />6) Active involvement in social service.<br /><br />Conditions 4, 5 and 6 should be waived only for the underprivileged who attended smaller schools.Sayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221196430107423879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564436749529974510.post-74630478852572210042009-05-28T21:40:35.958+05:302009-05-28T21:40:35.958+05:30I wish this was the policy at Microsoft!

Perhaps involve in something that he likes - <br />Sitting idle under a tree aint bad at all - perhaps an apple may fall onto his head.<br /><br />"<I>Their mentors should consciously try to ingrain in them</I>"<br /><br />Again on principle of incentives - what do their mentors gain? Don't they gain if their ward gets the highest? Parents of the toppers are honoured at annual day functions. Schools are known to reward the best-performing... <br /><br />Till the percentage system remains, the best performance will be defined by the score in the boards and not the number of awards won at the local science fair or the number of medals won at the local sports meet.Puneethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372135607765088375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564436749529974510.post-65472427531112850332009-05-27T20:10:23.997+05:302009-05-27T20:10:23.997+05:30well spun and rather noble thoughts.

Their mentors should consciously try to ingrain in them that more important than grades is the concepts and understanding and love for the subject of ones interest. <br />regurgitating on paper in a set way, after rote learning is just one subclass of huge class of Presentation (which has its own importance) ... but this mode should not eclipse other modes of presentation.<br />Presentation and application of the knowledge earned is important.prashantsinisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525818062491789874noreply@blogger.com
