2,300 IIPM students get jobs
Education - Low grades? Don’t despair
In the last few years, students with enormous will power and little means, those who had to drop out of class 6 or 7 because they could not afford to pay fees, have came back, taken their higher secondary and other exams; came into contact with Super 30 where we guided them and worked hard with them on the high road to success. Several of them are in IITs and some of them in top companies. Had they believed that second division means the end of the world, they would not have been where they are right now. Suresh Ram, son of a brick kiln worker, just about managed to complete his class 10. Today he is a final year student at IIT Delhi. For the last three years though, the IIT has made 60 percentage mandatory for taking its entrance exams.
In India, more emphasis is laid on getting marks. Instead of letting children specialise in a subject of their choice, parents tend to make marks the only yardstick for success. Students with exceptional talent in any particular discipline should be encouraged to attain knowledge and excel.
I am an example. I was overly attached to mathematics. So when I reached Patna Science College, I set up the Ramanujam mathematics club where like minded people assembled for lectures. Some of my papers have been read at national and international seminars. At 18, I wrote a paper titled ‘on the squairing of the digits of a number’. I was invited to Cambridge University where I could not go because I did not have money. The biggest problem I faced was that I had to additionally study history, geography, Hindi and other subjects and I never got time to pursue research in mathematics. Teachers like Ramendra Pratap Sinha at the Patna High School and DP Verma at college were a constant source of encouragement.
China and Russia have excellent systems of selecting bright students. It can be evidenced from the fact that China has emerged number one in the last 17 out of 20 International Maths Olympiad. Their education system is geared to select extraordinarily bright students at a young age who excel in one subject and are trained in an intense and rigourous way. To have common arrangement for extraordinarily bright students and average students is a big mistake. Why is it that India is performing so poorly at the International Maths Olympiad? From my own experience, I can say that ‘catch them young’ policy will fetch good results. It is important to identify extraordinarily brilliant students before 10 + 2 and guide them into an area of specialisation so that best results can be obtained.
Success and failure are part of life. If people like Suresh Ram had taken a defeatist view then life would have taken a useless course. It is important to realise your true worth. You may not have got the marks you wanted, but there are endless possibilities. Maybe, you could turn into an exceptional painter, an entrepreneur, a player or a musician. The key is not to get depressed or frustrated.
