The great Entrance test debate
The Tamil Nadu Government’s decision to scrap the Common Entrance Test for professional courses has created divisions.
The Tamil Nadu Government’s decision to scrap the Common Entrance Test (CET) for admission to professional courses has sparked a lively debate. Political circles and a section of academicians have welcomed it as a decisive tilt in favour of the rural student’s community. But academics involved in syllabi up gradation and higher education appear skeptical; they are worried about the impact of doing away with a CET. Unfortunately, the actual report of the Anandakrishnan Committee has not been released. Officials say it will be tabled in the State Assembly during the winter session, when the Government is also expected to come up with a Bill to scrap the CET.
