CBSE Students Lag Behind In Tamil Nadu Counselling

A state which was known as the hub for producing brilliant engineers has gifted few of its brilliant students to its neighboring states towards their graduation in the field of engineering. This section of my blog will post links and my views on the downfall of the education system  in Tamil Nadu. Comments and opinions on this post is most welcome.

With both political parties not favoring the common entrance exam in the state, stating its reason as setting an equal platform for the students both in rural and urban areas, has resulted in discriminating the CBSE and ICSE students from entering the arena of Anna University Colleges. The government fails to note that option for these students who have selected the different boards other than the state board is mainly due to their parents serving in Central Government jobs and have to keep up with the common syllabus when being transferred from one place to the other, sometimes even in the midst of the academic sessions. Apart from the disrupted school years due to transfers of their parents these students have to stoop to the only option of seeking admissions in the Deemed colleges as most of them have an entrance exam which these children clear comfortably or  pay hefty amount for management seats in the state Pvt colleges, if they wish to pursue their education in Tamil Nadu. The only advantage they face is to have an edge in the competitive exams of IITJEE and AIEEE as they are more well versed with the concepts and fundamentals of the subjects and do well in these exams. Sad to say that a child clearing these competitive exams with a good rank finds her/his name at the bottom of the list at the State's single window counselling system  and is offered a college without reputed status in some remote corner of the state. Few of these students move to other states competing in their entrances and find a seat in a good college and graduate as engineers from the  neighboring states.
