where is education level going?

Teachers having less that 50%..........?

Who says that professionals having higher % are good teachers, I have seen peoples having lower % can explain better then those are having higher academic career. And also seen people having higher career are rarely able to speak effectively. Educating depends on how one can explain in a simple manner and to use it in a effective way.

 

Its totally a personal view.

True...I agree with the same..

The news seems to be God's blessing for those who have not scored 50% and it may seem to be a disaster to many of those who scored 50% and above. However, as I see it, on one hand such number game is rather awkward. What difference will be there between a person scored 49% and a person scored  50%

The notification or rather the contents led me back to my university days! I have two class mates, one scored 475 and the other just 480 in exam. The later naturally got first class and the second was terribly upset as she failed to get a first Class. Indeed, she had to move from pillar to post for a job. Ultimately she got married and went abroad. Now after nearly three decades, my first class friend  is due to retire as a College Librarian (They both went for interview in the same college and in those days there was no 50% eligibility; rather there were Masters Degree + B. Lib. Science but the college authority naturally employed the person with a First Class!!) and the now NRI lady is occupying a fairly senior position in a Medical Research Institute abroad.

However, on the other hand, there is no denying that certain minimum eligibility criteria should be there for recruitment. (CSIR used to ask for first Class with at least 65% marks for appointment!!). Frankly speaking, actually such percentage barriers are virtually essential in a country like ours where appointments are often made out of unfair ways.

On a second thought, I am tempted to ask one question: What will happen if the minimum qualifying percentage for lectureship can be raised to both 75% in Masters Degree and 75% in NET examination? and for College Librarians at least 60% in both the exams? I am sure that there will be a big Hue & Cry among many of us!!

But jokes apart, as I see it personally, the notification is for a particular State and I presume it seems to be a  cheap political stunt before the parliamentary election!!  But there is no denying that many garbage will be introduced through this notification to the arena of Higher Education of that particular State.
