Candle light march against the scrapping of IIT-JEE AT IIT DELHI.
Details of the protest done by students in the IIT DELHI campus over the issues of scrapping of IIT-JEE
Date :15th February , 2012
Many students of IIT DELHI along with professors and alumnus protested against the scrapping of IIT-JEE and inclusion of 40% board marks in the new common entrance exam proposed by MHRD for all centrally funded engineering institutions. The protest was in the form of a CANDLE LIGHT MARCH which was attended by big crowds of students, the professors and the alumni of IIT DELHI. The protest was initiated by a group discussion among the students, professors and the alumni.
The rally went through the whole campus. The students took pledge that if such policy is passed to ruin the education system of India, then thousands of students from all the IITs will go on Hunger Strike and will protest until the policy is withdrawn.
Conclusion of the meeting was as follow:
1. The coaching business is going to increase.
2. The stress level on the students is going to increase significantly.
3. There is going to be fee hike in the private schools.
4. The rote learning and mugging tendency of the students is going to increase.
5. Students will enter with no fundamental and conceptual understanding of the subject which will create great difficulty for such students to adapt themselves in the system of IIT.
6. Standard of IIT is going to fall drastically.
7. There will be a kind of Board wise Reservation which will be an injustice with many students.
The students have demanded to raise the standard of Boards , implement the Kothari Commission Recommendation to spend at least 6% of GDP and stop corruption and malpractices in exam and education system. Report by Prince
