"One needs to remember that real learning in an IIT never comes from the classroom alone.

"The coaching culture simply adapts to whatever the “new” evaluation system may be. It is imperative to recognise the inevitability of coaching culture in any sphere (not just education) as an instrument of creating dreams. Coaching cultures become all the more problematic because they gain precedence over the regular education system by offering an alternate route to literacy (misinterpreted as education). This has no room for holistic development," writes Aditya Mittal, Dean, Student Affairs at IIT Delhi Read his full piece on indianexpress.com

The dropped questions can lead to an addition to marks for JEE Main 2023, Session 2 candidates. The NTA has clarified that full marks will be given to candidates who appeared in the exam on a specific date. “For section A, if a question is dropped then full marks will be awarded to all candidates who have appeared, irrespective of the fact whether the question has been attempted or not attempted by the candidate,” NTA states in an official document. 

The Union Education Ministry had recently clarified that it is not considering any proposal for a one-time relaxation in criteria for Joint Entrance Examination Main 2023.

“After due verification, the affected candidates were allowed to appear in re-examinations held on June 29, 2022 (Shift-2) and June 30, 2022 (Shift-1) for Session-1 and on July 30, 2022 (Shift-1) for Session-2. Moreover, the candidates who have passed the Class 12 or equivalent examination in 2021, 2022, or appearing in 2023 can appear in JEE (Main) – 2023 examination.

“For the school leaving batch of 2020, the JEE (Main) examination was conducted two times in 2020, four times in 2021 and two times in 2022 giving them sufficient opportunities to take the JEE(Main) examination,” said Sarkar.

It was earlier reported that the NTA will release the score cards early this week, but the NTA confirmed to indianexpress.com that the result will not be declared till Wednesday. The result date and time has still not been confirmed by the NTA yet.

"The current education system is highly stressed. Our colleges and universities are under pressure to deliver on academics and placements. Academic rigour leads to stress on student persistence and success. Add to this the multiple other factors eventually lead students to drop out," Ex AICTE chairman and education secretary explain

After getting past the JEE, the second problem that arises is that of herd mentality. While selecting their major, most students do not select their branch because they have an interest in that particular field. The decision is usually driven by which branch and college offers the highest salary during campus placements, writes Amogh Meshram.

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has launched new courses which are BTech Electronics VLSI Design and Technology and Diploma in IC Manufacturing. Any number of AICTE affiliated colleges/ universities/ technical institutions are allowed to opt for the newly-launched courses. Check scope, curriculum, average salary etc of these courses.

For section A (MCQs), if a question is dropped, then full marks are awarded to all the candidates who appeared for the paper irrespective of the fact whether the question was attempted or not. For section B (questions whose answer will be a numerical value), if a question is found to be incorrect or dropped then full marks will be awarded to the students who attempted the question.

With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) around the world, it is often being debated that AI may soon take over jobs and humans will run out of opportunities. But is that true? "The future is about exploring interesting ways in which machines can complement and augment our abilities, not substitute them," writes Sutanu Chakraborty
