Recent news about SR College of commerce New Delhi is about announcing 100% cut off for non commerce students to enroll for BCom course. That means science graduates who wants to get into commerce course must have 100% marks score (I guess in core subjects) to get admission in SRCC for BCom course.
I was shocked to see this and then I was thinking why would a science student wants to get a BCom degree? If at all he wants to get one why did he/she not opt for commerce course after 10the Grade. Isn't it insane to get enrolled in science stream for 11th and12th, score high percentage and then jump into commerce course to become a Bachelor of commerce?
Or do students have some strategy to learn some important subject such as science and commerce related subjects so that they can either do well in MBA or civil service examination such as IAS/UPSC
I do not know why students want to do this, might be true if it is helpful for a particular student to clear future course and exams , then why not ?
Keeping in mind, I was thinking why not allow 11th and 12th students to select all core subjects so that they could take up respective course without any hassle. I was going through various states/central syllabus of 11th and 12th grades of different states. I felt there is no uniformity and certain states students are having distinct advantage over the other.
In straight words states syllabus and course offering must be made uniform by HRD ministry and must ensure that there is a fair competition among students of various states when it comes to all India examinations.
For example, AP students in 11 and 12, study only 3 core subjects (like Physics, Chemistry and Math) where as in Karnataka this option is simply not available for students. They have to take 4 core subjects (like Physics, Chemistry, Math and Bio). Even though if the student is planning to go to engineering why study Biology for 2 years and loose out in some competitive exams like IIT/JEE.
One reason I can see why AP students are getting more ranks is because of this distinct advantage. And plus AP science syllabus is in line with IIT entrance exam syllabus. Any student of AP has to just learn once and then take both exams without any hassles. Whereas Karnataka student has to study one extra subject and plus change focus from state exams and IIT exams and also put lot of effort to crack both exams. One of the Topper of Karnataka got 151st rank in IIT. On the same scale AP topper got 1st Rank in IIT.
This is what makes a difference when it comes to university aligning things properly and providing best course to choose. Same way Delhi University can offer students to choose 3 or 4 or 5 subjects so that particular candidate can go to either commerce or science course in future. One such example can be Physics, Accountancy, Mathematics and Chemistry.
Colleges who enroll students must just see the subjects of concern rather than looking into some score which is no longer relevant for course. Many Colleges in Karnataka look into social Studies and language scores when they offer science courses. Isn't it unfair for students?
Let’s face it; nobody can be genius in all subjects which he takes up. Some people might score good scores even 100%. That doesn't mean he has mastered that subject. It is only in that particular exam (it is only in that instance). Again in school education we have 3 boards CBSE, ICSE and State. Each of one makes students to get into rote learning without focusing on overall development. CBSE particularly helps students to get into some of top universities of India. But some states do not have that many CBSE schools at all. Some of the state syllabus are so out dated that when students come out of the college they find it difficult to score marks. I personally had to put lot of effort to match the college syllabus after completing the school. And plus students do not get any guidance to study as soon as they enter college.
Bottom line is, it is high time all Indian universities look into their course offerings and syllabus. And thus provide a uniform platform for all aspiring students of India.
