GROUND REALITY

          Hi all,

                            it is moment of great festival, grand gala time for corporate colleges and National brand colleges, announcing the ranks achieved by their students.

                          Although, I wish all those students a great future, and appreciate  their brilliant efforts to achieve those ranks, I feel sad about the state of education system in which , many a student is missing the opportunity to display his brilliance in such an exam. This is a different topic, which can be discussed later as my intention in this letter is not to describe  the fate of those less fortunate people 

                         Coming to the Stark reality, let us consider a few numbers involved in the game of NEET selection process.

                        1. Total number of  students appearing in exam :      20 lakhs nearly

                       2. The number of Students qualifying in exam           11 lakhs nearly 

                       3. The number of seats available                                  1 lakh nearly

              that is, just 0.5 percent of those ,who appeared are getting in to medical colleges and 99.5 percentage aspirants are getting disqualified after spending whopping amounts in Coaching factories

almost per head around one to three lakhs on an average. 

                    Almost 16 lakhs of entire Student population join in Corporate colleges ,that is about 80 percent and of them only about 0.6 percent are qualified annually to enter in to medical colleges.

                    To be clear, only 60 to 65 thousands get selected and remaining have to either repeat or, take another course reveals, the hollowness of the performances ,of the corporate colleges and their money mongering nature.     

                  It is a myth ,that every corporate college going boy or girl will get a seat in NEET or IIT.

How ever, the marketing gimmicks of these colleges have brought the over all situation and psyche of an average parent in India, to think that, if he is un able to admit his child in to such a college, he is worth nothing and putting the future of the child at cross roads.

Another important thing is, the amount of money wasted on 99.95 percentage students ,who are not selected comes to a shocking sum of rupees 498 crores, which is almost wasted without serving it's purpose.

              It is pity that, the poor parents are forced to join their children, in such factory like colleges and helplessly ,they watch most of their children not getting selected.

            Then, what is the right course for all those concerned to adopt, so as to secure the future of their children?

              
                 This is a million dollar question hovering around many a Parent in this country........
