JEE fails to get the best

The director and the dean of IIT-Madras have called for radical changes in the JEE, saying that the coaching institutes were enabling many among the less-than-best students to crack the test and keeping girls from qualifying. Do you think that JEE is failing to get the best?

Busybee says: hmm... this one is difficult to comment on। Mostly girls arent that much into engg :D. The % of girls is less than 1/10 of the guys॥at IIT Mum, if I am not mistaken. If what he says is true, then the girls also shud go to the coaching class way.. The best cant be kept away... by the less than the best. Hard to buy argument that.... meaning that the best wud reach the top w/o an IIT degree too. An IIT degree is not the ultimate guarantee of success..


Vamsi says:if a dean of an IIT says that his students are not top-class, then this becomes an issue। i dont know how much 'reservations' and starting new IITs from this academic year 'dilutes' quality of students out of IITs. but, he telling student joining IITs are low-class, is a problem.


Niceguy251 says:I understand standards have fallen almost everywhere for some reason or the other including reservations। I think we need to overhaul selection process for services which affect us e g Medical, Engineering and Defence to ensure we get right material for these.


Ruggedboyz says:Its a age old phenomenon in india that while boys excel in exams where analytical skills are at test while girls do better when it is putting in effort and commiting to heart its their forte but who the hell and what the hell is the issue of lesser mortals making big with an institue thing if their is any such institute then government must sponsor girl students their so that they do well in IIT if that exactly is the insane reason why girlie girls are lagging behind
