IPL 2012: How about exams in T20 format?
IPL 2012 has started and everyone seems to be glued to his or her television set. But during this exam season can we have exams in T20 format, wonders S Ahmad of NVONews.Com
The number of players taking part in IPL or any T20 cricket match is not more than a couple but the impact is huge. This is being felt by the Patna University teachers in amusing ways. In fact, examinations in Bihar have always been an amusing thins when cheating is demanded as a genuine thing and riots break when police take action. Not only the cheating students are booked but even the guardians are sent to the jail. The report of copies being written at home and tagged in the main sheet is also not a secret.
The girl students always put some rupee note or a simple request to give them at least pass mark otherwise their marriage would not be possible is also a well known thing.
Now the boy students are throwing some irritatingly fresh ideas though not in their copy books. A report says that the Patna University Students Welfare Dean Ejaz Ali Arshad has received an SMS which says, ‘Can’t we have a T20 type examination’?
Like other states in Bihar the use of mobile phones are not allowed in exam hall but messages come pouring in after or before exam time. The above SMS sent to Mr. Ejaz also suggested that instead of holding examinations for three long hour the University should hold examination of only one hour duration on the pattern of a T20 match because three hours exam is like a five days Test match.
Another SMS sent to a different teacher suggests that the syllabus should be like a mini skirt covering the vital parts and exposing the superficial portions of the topic.
The report says that many similar messages are being received by the University officials who are busy conducting the ongoing undergraduate and PG examinations.
The way Mr. Kapil Sibbal has changed the education and the examination system one wonders if he would go for really a T20 type examination. It may be mentioned here that in the new system under Right to Education or RTE act no student shall get failed or detained. Numbers are already out of the scene and the grades are not a clear indicator of how a student fares in the examination.
Bihar government has already introduced the grade system till the teth class and it is quite possible that this system is applied in intermediate classes too.
