Toughest board in India

[Kshitiz_Indian]

i cannot comment about the rest of the world but in india :

Education and Intelligence are parallel to each other !

Entrance examinations for professional courses are not an indication of a person’s intelligence.Different tasks, jobs, and professions require different skills.You cannot impose a generalized exam with a fixed syllabus as a measure of intelligence.

In universities abroad, there is something called a "Statement of Purpose" wherein you are required to state why you want to learn a particular subject and what you hope to gain by it. This is a more effective way of assessing a person because deserving students will get admission. I see no point in trying to prove your intelligence in one hour if you cannot apply what you learn.There is a rigid framework within which people are judged. It involves a lot of rote-learning. This says nothing about what a person really is like.

No, it is not like that. Apparently these entrance examinations have been meant to look like "Mug it, clear it" but I can assure you its certainly not that.

You also have to understand that while abroad universities are plenty and there is space for everyone in the top colleges, unfortunately there is not so here in India, so its necessary that only the most deserving receive the best of education there is on offer.

And, the 10'th board examination doesn't have anything related to "jobs" or a "career" directly. Its just that our system is such that schools allot streams by marks rather than by choice, so when the boards are scrapped, schools will have ultimate power. Say I study in school A and my friend in school B, both setting cut off's for Science stream at 75%. Now think if my school made a paper much tougher than school B, even if I might be the more deserving of two my friend will get the place which I should have got, but I didn't because the school made a half arsed effort at making a paper.

This is what you gain from standardization.

HENCE, we should scrap 10th boards...15 is too small an age to go through
such tremendous pressure.also, the population is not getting any less..
so as the generations progress, it'll be just more and more pressure.

and fine, lets have a standardized exam for 12th but that should be ONLY ONE exam. no thousand entrance exams with different boards like HSC/CBSE/ICSE etc. what we have now is not standardization, its the CBSE / ICSE having an upperhand over these exams.

It doesn't matter if you are studying in the toughest board in India. Regardless of which board you study in, a good percentage of the stuff you have to learn won't be of any use to you in the future. Its mostly a waste of your resources. A common flawed perception is that the marks you score is proportional to the size of your paycheck when you work.

It creates an artificial pressure on students and prevents them from discovering where their real interest lies; especially if its not related to science. Discarding the 10th exams might not help this though. If students are free to select their stream, parents will force them into science.

It is clear though KC loves writing. Must have won lot of essays writing competitions. But I cant read just beyond 3 lines.

What ever, I would never want the fate of my career solely in my school's hands, and I'm glad I never had to go through it.

Lots of options for today kids. Even if you fail in +2 you can get Engineering seats.

Yeah that's one of the shittiest things of the system.I have a backward castes guy in my class who is a complete dud.But because he is a BC he can easily get an engineering seat regardless of whether he passes or fails and all the brilliant guys have to toil it out.:

Well i passed out my 10th through ICSE and I know its the hardest board in India but in the boards the checking is good and marks are easily given. Its like you will have a atleast 10% increase in your marks in the boards, i experience a 20% marks increase in the boards..

Ya ICSE is the board one can think about. CBSE is pretty easy in the comparision. I wouldn't call ICSE a tough, it's just more advanced and CBSE is tough than the state board as my friends say.:laugh

SSC (Maharashtra Board Is The Toughest)

The checking is extremely strict, the papers are not at all objective and contain tons of subjective questions and the portion is very very vast

 

[Prithvi]

For me, SSC of Andhra Pradesh (especially English), I find it tough.
Some of the teachers are leaving off the Trigonometry chapter thinking that the students can't understand it.
But compensating that, SSC took some resolutions which had a lot of options in exams.
Leaving trig, we can score 98/100 in Math.(I scored 98 but attempted 10 marks answer from Trig
