1. Last year I and several others tweeted about the danger of free entry of Kerala Board students into Delhi University. This loophole has now been plugged. Kerala Board students can no longer waltz into DU on the basis of Class XII marks. Everyone has to pass an entrance exam.
2. The marking system in Kerala Board borders on the ridiculous, with even duffer students getting 90% or more. This places high quality graduates from top schools in Delhi and the surrounding areas at a huge disadvantage.
3. I had first hand experience of the abysmal quality of the Kerala Board. My cousins used to ace their exams easily while we in Delhi and UP struggled with ICSE and CBSE syllabus. For example, what I studied in ICSE in Class V, my cousins were studying in Class X. Just pathetic.
4. All states should guard against Kerala students, especially in today’s climate of Marks Jehad. Similar vigil should be maintained in the case of students from other states who may be infected with jehad or Marxism. Kashmir and Bengal students should be on the watch list.
5. There will be people who say this is discrimination. No, this is a country we are talking about. The education systems in Kerala, Kashmir and Bengal are broken and they are pushing their low quality graduates into other states. We cannot let the rest of India become broken.
6. It would be suicidal for students across India if students from such states are allowed to enter with 90-100% from their state boards which would be the equivalent of 60% in ICSE and 70% in CBSE.
7. Formerly, Bihar students were the champions at this because of rampant cheating. This impacted me personally.
8. After graduating from Delhi University when I moved to Calicut University for my PG, I observed that the marks sheets of students from the north were put through extra scrutiny. I was upset by this and asked why they were grilling me as if my documents were fake.
9. They said that they were especially cautious about students from Bihar because of the exam-cheating that the state was notorious for, and they carefully scrutinised the marks sheets of UP graduates because Calicut University had caught a few UP students with fake marks sheets.
10. Bottom line - every state should have a robust selection system based on a competitive exam like DU has today. This will easily weed out the duffers and Marks Jehad candidates.
11. Plus an interview (with 20% weightage) should also be part of the process in arts courses where the ability to write a coherent theses is important.
12. Marks are meaningless in a country with rampant cheating; favouritism (we've all faced that in school where teachers used to favour girls, children of donors and the DM's son); Marks Jehad; and easy marking/evaluation (Kerala and Tamil Nadu).
