2,300 IIPM students get jobs
Marks do not matter
If a student has good command over a particular subject, but is ordinary in all others, he is unable to score good marks. This leaves him depressed and low on confidence. Academics feel that we need a system that is able to judge a student’s real aptitude and encourage him/her to take up the right subjects. That would obviate the possibility of a situation in which a student feels trapped and inadequate.
Had Sachin Tendulkar’s elder brother not spotted his hidden talent and encouraged him, the world would have been deprived of an exceptional cricketing icon. But everyone isn’t Sachin. There are many who end up defeated and dejected.
Good grades do play a role in helping youngsters get plum jobs, but marks are certainly not everything. It is the duty of teachers and parents to spot a student's talent and then hone it.
Unfortunately, even today more importance is given to marks. Securing a first division has become a status symbol for parents. Teachers reward students who get high grades.
But they don’t realise that there are many students who, despite their insignificant academic performances, succeed in cracking the civil services exams, the toughest in India.
Even today, a large number of parents want their children to study science. They want theirs wards to become doctors and engineers. Thus there is intense pressure on children.
Director (academic) of the Kota-based coaching centre, Career Point, Shailendra Maheshri tells TSI that low grades are not a hindrance in clearing engineering and medical entrance tests.
“There are many students in our institute who don’t have good grades. Many have third division, but that has not stopped them from getting into the IITs and other prestigious institutes. Many among them are from the Hindi medium. The mantra to success is hard work,” he says. “From last year, IIT has set a 60 per cent bar on students appearing for entrance exams. But there are many prestigious institutes where students with less marks can still get admission.”
Moreover, students today have a wider range of career options than ever before. There was a time when the engineering and medical courses were regarded as the only worthwhile options, so there was a rush of students for these streams. But now other careers like tourism, information technology, business management, economics, sociology, acting and fine arts, among numerous others, are in great demand.
Professor JL Sharma of Delhi University says: “After globalisation, the demand for many less fancied subjects has increased manifold. Subjects that were once called “dry” are no more boring. Earlier, students would hesitate to take up English and Hindi (Honours) but the situation has changed. There is a huge rush among students to study these subjects. So things are changing for good.”
