An Indian asked an American “How come you have such a phenomenal Indian talent pool in your country?
He answered “Because you Indians give jobs to so many ‘reserved’ Indians while we give it to the ‘deserved’ Indians.”
For too long, Mumbai has believed there were two rulebooks- one for the ordinary citizen, another for the influential. If Tukaram Munde is proving otherwise, Maharashtra should protect officers like him. Nothing restores public faith faster than seeing the powerful treated like everyone else. Nothing destroys it faster than transferring the officer who made that happen. Let���s hope this time it’s different.
Shashi Tharoor has made rhe most important speech in Parliament. He points out that the new law is just about more stringent punishment. It should be about preventing leaks and changing the system to a more American kind.
@Dev_Fadnavis@girishdmahajan Sir , what happened to the law that was passed in 2024 … not a single person was convicted … this will just be a law on paper .
@maheshperi@NandanNilekani Agreed .. average of 4 years should be one of the criteria , so schooling becomes effective and can control coaching mafia .
Before we get into making a safe examination system, @NandanNilekani must examine the need for any entrance exam. Most exams are territorial power centres and business opportunities.
Take for example CUET. It is the most unnecessary examination Imposed on the hapless Delhi students that made the CBSE scores useless and killed school education. This was done to neutralise the AAP investment in government schools a waste. These kids cannot afford private coaching and a state topper is also denied a seat.
Similarly, NEET is useless for those who want to join a private medical college. The price differential (5 lacs and 1.5 crores) is so huge that at rank 30,000 all government colleges close their admission while even at rank 13 lac, private colleges are unable to fill seats. Private colleges are reserved for the rich 1% of India. If you indeed fighting against reservation and for meritocracy, shouldn’t you include this?
The TET, even JEE advanced, UGC NET etc can be modified to make it a test for those who don’t cross a certain level of education.
We must reduce the entrance exams. We must reduce the number of students who should take the exam. Increase the eligibility. For Ex: Make 80% in boards a qualification to get into all India institutions like AIIIMS, IITs etc. Make school education mandatory. Punish those in dummy schools. Hedge. De-risk. Spread.
Make sure that a 3 hour exam doesn’t become the life altering exam. It will reduce stress. Reduce suicides. The business of entrance exams has to be reformed before we reform the conduct of such exams.
Is it time to say, if they had taken my well meant advice in 2024...https://t.co/dHfFGIudOg (Lethargy was their word, not mine. But actions suggested in the article were meant to help)
I do have to admit, for the past 2 years I have been calling for a technology based solution to exam paper leaks. It's on record in television interviews and newspaper articles.
Having said that, I do acknowledge, it makes for scope creep of the state. Unless designed better.
50% weightage for 12th marks along with computerisation of entrance exam for NEET will acheive many objectives
1. Schools and colleges will become relevant again for 11th and 12th
2. Dummy schools will disappear
3. Over reliance on coaching will go
4. If a candidate has a bad day, he or she can still have a good rank based on average.
Although 12th exams and valuation themselves need reform too.
#NEET @NandanNilekani
If someone gets into MBBS through reservation they sit in the same classroom learn from the same professors and use the same labs and books as open-merit students.
So why the hell someone need reservation again in NEET PG?
This is the first time the government is actually acknowledging that their entire examination system is riddled with corruption and incompetence but just firing a few officials is not going to be enough

Innocent Question:
Why do we need NEET separately? Just add Biology in JEE Main and just use it suitably for Medical adminission.
This is how it was in TNEE and EMACET earlier, if I remember correctly.
Am I missing something?
