Sir,
Sub : NET June 2012- Tactics of failed & Suggestions for improvement-reg
From media reports it is understood that there are lot of complaints against the cut-off marks fixed for UGC NET June 2012 examination, that is “altering” the notified criteria for pass.
In the outset I have to mention that this charge is raised by failed candidates, some media people and some politicians who either do not read the notification or do not understand the text or intentionally manipulating the text of the notification as tactics. In whatever case UGC may ignore the Giebelsian lies or the utterances yielding to which will open the Pandora’s box. The aim of an eligibility exam. is not to choose the mediocres but to select the best. Demand for lowering the cut-off mark is like the demand of those who can not win the 100 m race want to reduce the distance to 90 meters. The unprecedented number of successful candidates definitely substantiate the criteria decided by UGC.
I do appreciate UGC for conducting the examination with full transparency this time. Further UGC needs to be highly praised for conducting NET examination for more than two decades with utmost care in all matters. Because of this diligence UGC was never warranted to cancel even one NET examination over these years. But this is not the case of many university examinations or examinations conducted by various Public service Commissions. I salute You, Sir.
May I suggest few things for improving NET examination.
The amendments shall definitely improve the selection process of teachers and the reputation of UGC
Thrissur Yours faithfully,
11-10-2012 Sunny Joseph.

Dear friends,
Thanks for all for the active debate on the letter. As a reply to all friends I need to clarify some points. I never want to hurt my friends who could not clear NET . I never attribute undue importance to any academic or pen/paper examination. I don't say those who could not succeed in an exam are idiots. If so, I were also an idiot many times. But one thing I can say is, genuine preparation for an exam certainly improves one's knowledge levels whether he succeeds or “technically” fails due to bad luck. I don't know why Indians give over importance to pen & paper exams. Are the first rank holders in pen & paper exam best performers in any profession? Statistics tells, No, in many cases. Of course, the toppers should be congratulated for their efforts. The examination system practised in India actually fails in the real assessment of talents. I don’t think Enstein or Edison will pass an entrance test in India. It is funny to note that India may be the only country where teaching eligibility is tested only through pen/paper test and education means merely injecting of data into human brains and little concerned about its application.
I participated in UGC-NET mainly for updating my subject knowledge and to equate with the NET holders. There may not be any dispute in the fact that the eligibility test for teachers should be of high standard. In Malayalam there is a saying that if the guru makes a mistake fifty one mistakes will be committed by his sishyas or students. (there are fifty on letters in Malayalam languge). So accuracy or correctness is very important for a teacher. Similarly ISRO’s rocket will fall to sky though the mission worked well with 99.9999999% accuracy.
I am not a blind supporter of descriptive examination. I myself was a scapegoat of the written examination. But, for the time being ,there is no substitute for the descriptive exam. The problem is not with descriptive examination but ensuring its fair valuation. My suggestions to UGC is for minimising the subjective bias and making the evaluation to be done by “really eligible” persons in most transparent way. Objective type mainly tests the breadth of knowledge and analytical thinking while there is no substitute for written exam for testing the depth of understanding , organised and divergent thinking and linguistic and presentation skills. Objective test can not test the depth of knowledge. Recently I had a talk with Prof. Lakshman Rao who ardently supported for descriptive examination. It is better to have both objective and descriptive exam and take everage of all three papers so that those who are poor in writing can also get through if good at objective section. In previous times the success was determined only by descriptive paper and evaluation was not transparent and many evaluators were persons of questionable quality. If fair evaluation is impossible in descriptive mode, I strongly support the objective testing.
I agree with Mr. Jomy Jose that whatever may be the criteria for pass it should be declared before the testing and it must be adhered to. But if the UGC notification is read, it is clear that they fixed only the minimum marks for each paper and categorically stated that final criteria will be decided later.There was difficulty for UGC for fixing the criteria before the exam as they have no experience regarding the standard of questions or the performance of candidates in the objective mode conducted for the first time. Their intention is to select only the creamy layer. Though everybody has the right to pass and if everybody passes through there is no meaning in testing. Next time they may be silent on cut off marks as in CSIR/UGC test. And to some people who shout against me please understand that NET is thousand times easier than IAS exam or CAT or Bank PO exam. Anybody with average intelligence can pass NET with some preparation. Failure has only one meaning-success is nearby. So get up, try again. Good luck.
Sunny Joseph

Well, going through the post by Mr.Sunny Joseph, it becomes evident that the author trying to glorify those who have got through the “NET” while the “Cut Off” limit was quite liberal as the“best”. In my opinion those who have not passed the exam may not be painted as mediocre and boasting those passed as the best is obviously an act proclaiming oneself as the best as I presume the author is net qualified. It may please be noted that a notification is a proclamation and breach of which is an indecent act whether it is committed by a person or an organization especially when it is committed by the out most educational policy handlers like UGC. It is not a “Giebelsian” lie that the UGC reduced the pass mark limit from that of the limit proclaimed in the notification. It is the UGC who judged the runners of the 100 meters at 90 meters. Mr.Sunny Joseph praises the UGC for conducting the examination with full transparency “this time”. Does this mean the previous exams were not so transparent? It is a contradiction that he praises the UGC for conducting the examination “for more than two decades with utmost care in all matters” and yet proposes so many suggestions for improvement including the debarring of the examiners! The hue and cry about the cut off mark is not “Tactics of failed” instead, it is a protest for justice by the denied.
I really feel sorry for writing this kind of reply to my colleague.

as per Buddha, '' quarrelling brings quarrelling, it does not give any solution". so personal opinion should always welcome but not at the cost of hitting others.
Its a very big issue. It's not an important aspect whether it is 'descriptive' or 'objective', the important aspect is the 'standard'.
if a person have the quality, he/she will definitely qualify in both the medium, descriptive and objective..a lot of instances is there.... and if he/she dont have that, needs more and more excuses..
My dear Satheesh, u can ask anybody to shut his mouth, but u can never stop his/her intellectual ability.
And to my friend Digambar, a good permanent job with a huge pay scale will not reveals everything regarding his intellectuality. There are more things left which didn't reveals in pay slip. I am sorry to both of you regarding my harsh statement but i couldn't control myself to say those words on this occasion.
Regards,
Surajit.
