Stiff Competition ahead, Cut-Off Congestion

The projected struggle to make the cut-off grade indicates a big challenge ahead for CBSE candidates, and the need for a robust normalisation score.

The results of the Plus-Two examination, released last week, have only confirmed what was expected all along: that in the absence of a streamlined mechanism for ranking and standardisation, the abolition of the common entrance for professional admissions may not exactly benefit those for whom it was intended — students from educationally backward and rural districts, especially for engineering seats.

An analysis done by Jayaprakash Gandhi of Turning Point, a Salem-based educational consultancy firm, has thrown up interesting possibilities: A total of 3,35,012 students appeared for the Plus-Two examinations under the science group this year, compared to 2,99, 187 students last year. With the pass percentage also going up, the rush for professional courses is expected to be more this year.

Making India Proud at Global Science Fair

ALBUQUERQUE (NEW MEXICO U.S.): When 17-year-old Rishin Behl was fidgeting with his laser beam apparatus a few months ago, he would not have quite known how far the beam was going to take him. On Friday, however, he saw his little experiment graduate into a $1,000 prize-winning project at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) 2007.

He was among the prize winners in the Earth and Planetary Sciences category of the ISEF, which concluded here on Friday.

"The laser beam reflected on my window glass when an aircraft was passing by. I suddenly noticed the glass shaking. That gave me an idea," says the chirpy teenager. His project, "A novel design for magnetic levitating seismograph," is a product of his spirit of enquiry that questioned the inability of seismographers to detect the tsunami.

Busy Days Ahead for CBSE Counsellors

New Delhi: With Central Board of Secondary Education examination results for Class XII just a few days away, students are calling up counsellors to find out ways to secure admission to different colleges and which courses to apply for. While those who have taken their Class XII exams want to know all about the admission procedure, those awaiting their Class X results call up to know what kind of subject combination will suit them the best, say CBSE counsellors.

"There are more calls before the exams and fewer thereafter. Post-exams, children want to know how to apply for different courses run by various colleges. They want to know how they can get admission to good colleges. The ones who have written their Class X papers want to know what subjects they should take in the next class and whether they should change their schools in Class XI. Parents also call up to enquire the same," says counsellor Geetika Anand.

Psychological Tests for Selection of other Army Ranks

This follows a spate of fratricidal killings and suicides

Bangalore: Faced with fratricidal killings and suicides, the Indian Army is to introduce psychological personality tests in the selection of other ranks (ORs). The tests, which will be introduced from December, are aimed at eliminating candidates with psychological and personality problems from joining the Army. The Army has an active troop strength of over 1.1 million and is the second largest in the world.

Hitherto psychological tests were only used in the selection of officers, with candidates seeking to enlist as ORs only being checked for their broad physical attributes and rudimentary communicative and literate skills. But a marginal increase in the number of suicides (nine out of one lakh troops) and fratricidal killings, especially among troops posted in the forward areas or in areas where the Army is involved in low intensity conflicts (LIC), has prompted the Army to ascertain the social adaptability, social concerns and emotional quotient of candidates before they are recruited.
