Mr. Kapil Sibal, The Union HRD minister, started the reform ideas with recommending the grading system in place of marks for Class X Boards. Then he gave the go-ahead on lifting curbs on the IIMs from setting up campuses abroad. Later he recommended to the IITs to raise the cut-off for students to clear the Joint Entrance Examination to 80% which is 60% now. Now he has come up with an idea of making the AIEEE online. Do you think Sibal's education reforms are too ambitious?

I think that our HRD Minister is on the right way. Even if he manages to achieve half of his plans for the education sector, -he would have done very well. In my opinion, he's the only Minister, who's doing or trying to do something for the country.

It clealy sees that Mr.Kapil Sibal is too ambitious regarding the educational reforms in India. Insted of doing something in the primary education sector, he is getting into IIT's and IIM's which are already well known institute and doesn't need any change in their well established systems.

I believe, Kapil Sibbal's education reform funda is like Chemotherapy suggested to BJP by Sangh, for, it is though absolute necessity but painful. Yeah, any reforms in any sector are not digestible to everybody. But this doesn't mean that we should stop experimenting on. Every reform policy has its +vities and - vities. One should dare to accept that we need change and take the reform policies positively. This is just like a churning out process, as Samudramanthan. Poison and Elixir both will come out in this process. Lets learn to get max benefit from the elixir and throw out the poison. The world is changing too fast and we must compete the pace.

Once being though IIT -JEE, AIEEE, BITSAT ..myself; I knew JEE FACTORIES running out in Kota, rajishatan and all which leads to complete neglect of primary education, where we hear cases of 7-8th standard students solving Griffiths and Irodov...Students completely neglect their 12 class , boards, schooling.....

This results in disarter for not so lucky ppl who can't make it these cut-throat competitive exams and worser for those who didn't get idea of basic, running after high standards..of JEE..

Giving some wait-age to 12 board will definitely help curbing this kind of scenarios...

 

 

And if someone thinks "IITs and IIMs are already WELL ESTABLISHED", pick any global ranking and try to find them.... I guess they are know for Indain Brain which far surpasses word standards rather than their academic quality and research facilities. Even 7 year old  private runned ISB fares far better than IIMs in any global recognition.

Of course he is on the right track. The criteria s he has made will start making a student talented from the very beginning. Now, only talented highly students will be able to apply in IIMs and IITs which will not only make other student, who are aspiring to get into these institutes, more competitive, but also will give these institutes an international recognition raking them in International ranking....

Well what ever the congress govt think that all is like making people labourless and nobody will work same as like the govt. It feels like they are making a blunder by making all student. But the one idea of IIT Enterence Criteria is quite good. So only the cream will go there and the value of institute remains same. But the best if congress want to do then remove the quote for SC/ST and OBC. Then i will say something good about that. Kapil Sibbal is not more then a good player in politics who knows how to win by hook or crook.

Mr. Kapil Sibal is certainly the first Minister to have embarked on dramatic systemic reforms. All his predecessors have only tried their hand at reforming the syllabus for political reasons. In present context, it may look like little ambitious steps. But I think It's a great step towards the education system for future.

The CCE (Comprehensive Continuous Evaluation) system adopted for X standard is far from desired. The evaluations are very subjective and the teachers are not behavioural scientists or the psycho-analytical experts to assess and evaluate the all-round personality. Sibal's plans are over-ambitious and counter-productive.

Though it seems that Kapil Sibil's argument is on the right path, as mentioned by a couple of them here already, there are a lot more to do in the primary education system of our country which is very confusing. There is no equistatndard system where the students who pass out their +2(MAtric syllabus or Anglo Indian, state) can face their entrance examination confidently. We have different boards like Matriculation, state board, CBSE, ICSE, Anglo Indian. When students have to compete for the top Universities, inspite of their intelligence, bocz of the board they have choosen and the marks they have obtained, they are not able to compete with the other students who have completed their +2 in central board or ICSE. I feel Priority should be given to these kind of issues before getting into the broader angle

Ican not support the statement of education minister Mr. Kapil Sibal because India is a developing country and here people live in below powerty line .Those students will come from poor family he do not study in good school or college and he did not get a good mark in the bord exam to lacking of facilities.If a opportunity to him study in a good college or uny that he will be display our strength

I doubt whether Kapil Sibal properly knows what he is doing. Firstly, he said no to class Xth exams so that students don't get more stressed in their Xth and can start preparing for Hsc from the very beginning. Then he makes 80% as minimum criteria for IIMs and IIts whi are already established and needs no change in their present educational pattern. It seems Mr. Sibal is so ambitious that he wants to let only highly talented students to apply for high educational institutes of India...
