Competition is so high that Rank 1 to 1000 is one and same, intellectually. It is a different ball game now. It's about toughness of mind, literally. It's about hammering your mental strength, and test it out. "Can you give excel in your no-comfort-zone?" is the challenge of the day. "Ghar mein to Kutta bhi Sher hota hai" is the argument. Lol. <br /><br />PS : I wish serious intellectuals find the the brilliant minds at young age and groom them before dungeons like IITs capture them and feed them to corporate world (like in the "How to Train your Dragon")sbhartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292147389456706968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-85063433893799834952016-05-22T15:56:21.083+05:302016-05-22T15:56:21.083+05:30When i reached one of the centre GEC, Ajmer at 12 ...When i reached one of the centre GEC, Ajmer at 12 noon i saw many boys just coming out wearing vests as they were asked to remove long sleeve shirts and many ithers who opted to let the sleeves be torn off than removing the shirt. I felt bad , these are students not some thief or a criminal.Also due to only one hour gap for reporting for paper-2 students were forced to stay there in midst of temperatures of 43-44 degrees.

Despite struggles by many of us over years, nothing much could be done about it. The comments on this petition https://www.change.org/p/iit-guwahati-improve-the-curriculum-and-teaching-at-iit-guwahati tell the detailed story. A lot of alleged suicides have happened here in the last three years. Many students are forced to survive on anti-depressants. Some have taken to substance abuse and alcoholism. <br /><br />Apart from academic reasons, the rules and codes of conduct for both students and faculty have been extremely suffocating for someone to survive with peace of mind at IIT Guwahati. There are restrictions on writing blogs, sending emails, posting on Facebook, walking inside the campus (for girls, especially), going outside the campus in a group and so on. <br /><br />I guess IIT advanced examination rules are possibly created by some people from IIT Guwahati, along with people of similar mindset fro other IITs. For every problem, the solution created by these people often becomes a bigger problem in itself.

On one hand we talk about making a student friendly system, a human friendly system on the other hand we do end up making some of the most unfriendly systems on earth ever.<br />Same applies to the so called "tag" chasing we do. We all know deep down that its the human who makes the institution and not the other way around. <br />We talk about making institutes of excellence, and end up collecting people who are already doing well, ofcourse thats one of the ways. But then, same binge is applied to almost everything. For example I came across the selection criteria of certain Institute based in Delhi, wanting to be one of the best. Their selection criteria emphasizes so much on publications of high impact factor. But the thing is, everyone in the publishing world knows a high impact factor is not necessarily a high quality research work. <br />Second problem is, not all best universities are based in USA. There are some in east asia as well, but the institution chose to conduct interviews for faculty recruitment in the USA alone.<br />These are the things which make me want to study the minds of those who are the helm of affairs at these institutes in India. <br />Sai Kiran Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126660662201723422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-36832507522220010202016-05-16T07:36:04.233+05:302016-05-16T07:36:04.233+05:30Ya but now they are allowing analog watch ,as per ...Ya but now they are allowing analog watch ,as per JEE ADVANCED website.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571200695432534582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-5502928650387885582016-05-16T00:45:05.751+05:302016-05-16T00:45:05.751+05:30@Akash, the JEE website clearly says: "All ty...@Akash, the JEE website clearly says: "All types of watches."<br />Dheeraj Sanghihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367519409840642182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-1208365338364636382016-05-16T00:12:50.227+05:302016-05-16T00:12:50.227+05:30Analog watch is allowed.Analog watch is allowed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571200695432534582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-47655198958417236522016-05-15T23:34:46.684+05:302016-05-15T23:34:46.684+05:30@steve, There are many things JEE can do, if they ...@steve, There are many things JEE can do, if they so desire. Increase the remuneration of invigilators. Have a video camera in every room to monitor whether invigilators are doing their job or not. Have less students per invigilator, more space per student, etc. Ensure that centers are made only in places of repute. Make higher payments to centers to encourage that. And be ruthless with removing a center from next year's exam on slightest shortcoming.Dheeraj Sanghihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367519409840642182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-27940834061032486092016-05-15T22:38:34.772+05:302016-05-15T22:38:34.772+05:30Rightly said sir, making reporting 90 minutes prio...Rightly said sir, making reporting 90 minutes prior to the examination does not make sense, they should rather disturb them between examination. Also managing time will become a big concern now to the point where actually this might affect the result of the exam...<br />However i think investing in training of the invigilators is something difficult and not worthy especially when services of the invigilators will be needed only for one day. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239097535003473352noreply@blogger.com
