A Dog's tail is always bent. Our politicians can never learn.What they believe is correct. They do not know the pros and cons of any policy. Their brains are drained. If learn they should learn from courts and CBI. We are all such fools of yesterday, today and tomorrow that is why British ruled India more than 300years. But What we learn from them is only the English..What about the 2012 passed student fate, as per earlier norms of iitjee and aieee, students are eligible to write the exam in two times. As per new norms they are not eligible as they are not coming in 20 percentile.What they will do? Some state Boards are not conducting the improvement exam ? Hello HRD Minister where are you?
I am appreciating the parents of nine students and the Forum for fairness in education for filing the petition in Bombay High Court .This UPA Govt. is spoiling the future of lakhs of students. The opposition is also mum about this matter as they will not gain more voter regarding this matter.Only court will help to solve this problem.What about the 2012 passed student fate, as per earlier norms of iitjee and aieee, students are eligible to write the exam in two times. As per new norms they are not eligible as they are not coming in 20 percentile.What they will do? Some state Boards are not conducting the improvement exam ? This is unfair and unilateral decision taken by CBSE Board and not bothering the lakhs of students future and life.At least 2012 student should be exempted from this 20 percentile norms.Kindly I request HRD Ministry and CBSE to consider my request. The forum for fairness in education and Nine student parents have taken bold and right decision. I pray the god to get the right judgement in favor of them.
