CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) is now going to reform their existing education system by cutting down the teacher-talking time and advised them to utilize that time for the facilitation of students. This curriculum will be applied for class IX and X. The board has asked to concentrate on classroom interaction among the students, query round during the discussion to encourage the pupils to take participate, and to motivate their ideas and justify their views.
Teachers have been advised to talk less in class and try to adopt the constructive approach for the student’s development and learning. Neera Chopra, a consultant for education in Delhi says that these guidelines will give chance to teachers to adopt new teaching methods but some schools still advocate their existing teaching styles. Some of the surveys show that children are able to learn only 60% from the textbooks and they feel very bore with the teacher’s current teaching pattern. The aim of the teacher should be to guide the students to go to right place for the information not by giving them examples from the textbooks.
Despite of all the benefits these guidelines seem to break several barriers by focusing on the doing which makes the rote learning infeasible. There is also chance of loss of spontaneity of teachers and their tendency to innovate the students in the classroom. These instructions must be taken as structures and not guidelines otherwise the creativity of teachers will lost. These instructions should be taken as just like a structure which a teacher can frame their pedagogy upon.
What do you think about this? Will it help you as a student, or is this crushing the established regime of studies?
Delhi University the best in India says recent survey
A recent survey that has been conducted has produced the research that Delhi University has been listed to be the best among the top 20 universities in India. This has been closely followed by the University of Bombay and the Jawaharlal Nehru University. Others that followed on that list included Jadavpur University, Pune University, Banaras Hindu University, University of Calcutta, Aligarh University, Hyderabad University, Aligarh Muslim University, University of Vellore, Osmania University and the Punjab University.
These have been rated among the top universities of the nation, categorized according to various aspects of their academic work, contribution, researches, infrastructure and diverse features. All these universities came to be measured according to their basis of reputation as well, their learning environment, the facilities given to the people, laboratories, equipments as well as different programs and exchange fellowship processes. Their faculty and competence also came into consideration in bringing the best out of these universities.
Jawaharlal Nehru University has been among the top list of most important and influencing universities in India. It is situated in New Delhi and has been one of the most prestigious universities right along with Delhi University. Both these universities in Delhi offers wide variations of choices and studies as well as research options that can be carried on from wide arrays of streams. JNU, just like DU, offers wide arrays of choices in fields of studies from undergraduates to post graduates, Mphil and research oriented options. There are diverse schools and academics boards under both the universities all of which have been creating great ways for students to follow their choicest fields.
Delhi Technological University will use AIEEE exam scores to admit students
Delhi Technological University (DTU), formerly called Delhi College of Engineering (DCE) is going to start the admission procedure for the B. Tech program in fourteen full time courses. The admission will be based on the rank scored by the student in All India Engineering Entrance Examination-2010 which is conducted by CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) every year.
The scheduled date of this year’s AIEEE exam is April 25.
Delhi College of Engineering is one the finest Institution of India so you have a chance to get the admission in this reputed College but for this you have to work very hard and have to clear the AIEEE. A degree from DTU holds a very prestigious position, but for this you will have to work hard and clear your AIEEE. Delhi Technological University is going to include the following disciplines in their curriculum:
- Electronics and Communication Engineering.
- Computer Engineering.
- Electrical Engineering.
- Mechanical Engineering.
- Civil Engineering.
- Production and Industrial Engineering.
- Environmental Engineering.
- Polymer Science and Chemical Technology.
- Information Technology.
- Bio-Technology.
- Software Engineering.
- Engineering Physics.
- Automobile Engineering.
- Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
The total number of seats for the all the above courses are 910 out of which 85% seats are reserved for candidates who belong to Delhi (those who have passed qualifying examination from Delhi/NCR) and remaining 15% seats are available for the rest of the students. Delhi Technological University will conduct their own counseling for admission procedure in the defined courses.
A single All-India entrance examination for Engineering
Well, this will come out as good news for Science students in India who plan to be engineers. All the directors of IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) have now made a committee which plans to conduct a single entrance examination conducted throughout India for admissions in engineering colleges.
If this proposal is accepted, then students, which have to undertake different examinations like IIT-JEE ( IIT Joint Entrance Examination)and AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Examination) which is conducted by CBSE, will now have to take only one exam.
According to S.C. Saxena, director IIT-Roorkee, this new exam will be more focused on the analytical skills of the student and will also give weightage to the class 12 board marks, so that students take Class 12 seriously.
This is to correct the fact that students ignore Class 12 results and concentrate more on preparing for different entrance examinations which is very common these days because there is no weightage for Class 12 marks.
This move has been hailed by many students, which say that this will reduce the pressure of giving different examination.
On the other hand there are a few who say that this will increase the competition a lot.
Well, it remains to be seen whether this exam will bring relief to the students or increase the pressure further.
CBSE going autonomous soon
The ministry of human resource department is going to convert the board of premier school to a statutory body and final decision will be taken after consulting with the experts. If all goes in the right direction then CBSE will become the first board in the country which will be established by an act of Parliament. The board will get more freedom and will achieve excellence after the passing of the bill.
Till now CBSE acts as a registered society whose main concerned is conducting the board exam and announcing the result of the students. But after this CBSE will become a statutory board having more important work to do. Now, CBSE just obeys the rules of human resource department and is not free to take their own decisions but this bill will help them to take their own decisions. Board will still perform the task of conducting the exam but also affiliate the schools in India as well as in abroad.
The new bill will increase the financial status of board as well. The board will recommend books for study and will set up new rules for the regulation of teachers and students. After becoming the statutory body the orders of board will have more impact. The board will have the authority to prescribe new courses for the institutions. The teachers will be appointed only after fulfilling the qualification criteria of the board. So the board will have more authority and will be more responsible for the education status of the country.
