Alternative B.Sc. courses for medical group students

New Delhi:  Central Board of Secondary Education has released the result for CBSE NEET 2017 on June 23. NEET is conducted for admission to about 65000 MBBS and 25000 BDS seats and this year over 6 lakh candidates have qualified the exam. The counselling and seat allotment for NEET qualified candidates is based on the ranks obtained by a candidate.

This is the time to assess your performance and decide your future course of action.

One of the options available to students is take a drop year and prepare again for the exam, but the decision to take a drop should be thought over carefully, since CBSE has now limited the number of attempts for NEET exam to three. Candidates who do not wish to take a drop and are looking for some alternative courses in medical and biological sciences can check the list below.

CBSE agrees to re-evaluate exam papers of students

Abhinav Garg | TNN | Updated: Jun 24, 2017, 07.09 AM IST

NEW DELHI: Students who took Class XII examinations can apply to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for a relook at their answer sheets if they are not satisfied with their score.

CBSE on Friday gave an undertaking in the Delhi high court that it would relax its verification scheme to allow students to approach it for scrutiny of answer sheets.

The Board also assured the court that all requests by students would be considered on a 'first come first serve basis'. In case of those who have already applied for re-verification, their pa pers will be scrutinised on a priority basis as per the marking scheme.

CBSE also assured the court that it won't act upon the undertakings it extracted from students that they cannot approach courts on account of their having obtained photocopies of the answer-sheets.

Mr Sanjay Jain, learned ASG, today makes a statement that notwithstanding the fact that the policy for revaluation of the answer sheet stands withdrawn with effect from 2017 examinations, in the peculiar facts and circumstances pointed out by the petitioners, if any of the petitioners were to apply to CBSE with a grievance that a particular answer-sheet has not been evaluated as per the concerned marking scheme circulated to the head examiner in respect of major subjects, whereupon CBSE will scrutinise such answer sheets and take appropriate remedial action, if required.

He states that the concerned marking scheme shall be uploaded on the website of CBSE within a period of two working days," a bench of Justice Manmohan and Justice Yogesh Khanna recorded in its order disposing of the petitions filed by several students.

However, though CBSE wanted to confine the relief to students who had moved court against its decision to do away with re-evaluation, the bench made it clear that ASG Jain's statement on behalf of CBSE will bind it to all students who have raised similar grievances.

During the hearing ASG Jain submitted on behalf of CBSE, "Within the limit of our verification scheme we will look into the students' grievances."

He further said that the marking schemes of the CBSE for respective subjects shall be uploaded on its website in two working days. The ASG's submission came during hearing of petitions by students, who gave the board exams this year, against the CBSE's decision to scrap its re-evaluation policy.

Some of the students had challenged CBSE's May 29 notification which lays down the process and fees for re-verification of the marks and for obtaining the photocopies of the evaluated answer sheets.

Majority of the petitions filed were of students who have scored well in their exams in the run up to the CBSE exam where they received scores below par.

Students who have appeared for the Board exams can apply for the same from the CBSE’s official website. The last date has also been extended until June 27 for online rechecking and verification. Students also have until June 30 to apply to receive evaluated answer sheets. This comes after reports about large differences in the final scores after students applied for verification and totaling of marks.

The Board has set up two committees to review the evaluation process. While the first panel will observe the evaluation and post-exam processes in search for discrepancies, the second panel has been set up to study, analyse ans suggest improvements in the evaluation process.


The CBSE had conducted the board exams from March 9 to April 29 this year for which about 11 lakh candidates had applied. Among them, more than 78,000 candidates had applied for verification of their marks and with the reports on discrepancies, more students demanded an extension of the date to apply for verification/re-totaling. For this, the dates were from May 31 to June 5 and to apply for a answer sheet photocopies, the dates were from June 14 to 19.

School education secretary Anil Swarup and CBSE chairperson RK Chaturvedi on Tuesday have decided that the Board needs to work on systematic changes since such discrepancies may have been present for a few years now.

Many students have filed for RTIs in order to obtain photocopies of their answer sheets so as to maneuver past the condition that they “shall not be challenged by any examinee in the court of law or (he won’t) make any claim on this account in any forum”.

He expressed concern the delay in declaring the NEET results 2017 would cause anxiety to students and also defer the already fixed admissions schedule to undergraduate courses - MBBS and BDS - in government and private medical colleges.

> On Monday the vacation bench of SC -- Justice Prafulla C. Pant and Justice Deepak Gupta – stayed the HC order and also barred the high courts in the country from entertaining any petition on NEET results 2017 saying, "High courts shouldn't have interfered as it affects the schedule of the admission".

From 2018, CBSE boards to begin a month early

Manash Pratim Gohain | TNN | Updated: Jun 21, 2017, 10.08 AM IST

Highlights

• From 2018, Class X and XII Board exams will take place in February instead of March.
• The process will no more drag over 45 days but will be completed within a month.
• Each year around 50,000 teachers are engaged in the evaluation process across 2,000 centres.
•  
• 

NEW DELHI: Come 2018, Class X and XII Board exams will take place in February instead of March as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is planning to advance the cycle of exams and related activities from 2018-19 as a part of reforms focused on "error-free evaluation".

Moreover, the process will no more drag over 45 days but will be completed within a month. Currently, board exams begin March 1 and end around April 20.

CBSE chairman R K Chaturvedi said that this would also advance the date of declaration of results, which generally come around the third or fourth week of May. Chaturvedi told TOI, "The exam inations should start around February 15 and we are also planning to complete them within a month."

The early results, the board believes, will also help CBSE students with the undergraduate admission process. "Otherwise it has been a neckand-neck affair," said the chairperson.

The board's plan to advance the examinations is a part of the reforms in the evaluation process, which has come under the scanner due to glaring errors in the practice.

"By April, vacations begin and the experienced teachers are not available. Therefore, advancing evaluation to mid-March will ensure we have the best teachers checking the answer scripts. Otherwise, in April during vacations, schools offer us only temporary, ad-hoc and newly-appointed teachers for the evaluation exercise as experienced teachers don't oblige," said Chaturvedi.

According to the CBSE chairman, this will also offer the board some breathing room to work on results in its bid to make them error-free.

Under the new scheme, the CBSE is expecting the best and experienced teachers to come for evaluation and it is also going to conduct two training sessions for the evaluators.

All boards may soon have common core curriculum





New, Scientific Moderation Policy From 2018 

 

The Union human resource development ministry will curb the “malpractice of spiking of marks“ and implement a more scientific moderation policy from 2018.The Delhi high court had restrained the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) --primarily because of the timing of the latter's decision--from doing away with its moderation policy this year.

 

The HRD ministry has set up an inter-board working group comprising eight boards to work out details to stop moderation and upward revision of marks. “It could not hap pen as planned this year. But we are working things out for all boards from next year. In fact, all the boards have agreed to stop spiking marks from next year,“ an official said. Some boards had raised certain issues at the April 24, 2017 meeting about implementing moderation of marks this year, but they are in agreement about 2018, a senior HRD official said. According to the plan, all boards are to move towards adopting a common core curriculum, the grace marks policy is to be uploaded on websites, and marks and grades for extracurricular subjects are to be given separately .

The plan is also to share question papers (with CBSE) to bring about uniformity in assessment.
In April, 32 school education boards agreed not to moderate marks (for upward revision) this year, but the Delhi high court, acting on a petition, restrained CBSE from implementing it. Meanwhile, some boards have continued the practice of “inflating marks“.

However, the HRD ministry was encouraged by the fact that some boards, like those of Punjab and Karnataka, adhered to the consensus and made an effort. “We have seen that a few boards didn't moderate marks this year and the results reflected that. There are quite a few of them. So that's a start,“ the official said.

IBWG will deliberate regularly and work out a model for all boards to follow.
It has also been decided that CBSE will share question papers with states that use NCERT books “so that there is uniformity across all states in difficulty levels of questions and in the subsequent evaluations“.

“We have a year's time now to plan and initiate wider consultation as the states are already on board.This is crucial if we are to arrest variations in results, which affect students adversely, bring about uniformity in evaluation and improve the quality of education.However, more space should be given to the state boards and their concerns addressed,“ a member of the IBWG said.

NEET hopefuls to get 8 bonus marks, want 4 queries reviewed

Yogita Rao | Mumbai:





File Appeal Online Till 6pm Today 

 

Several medical aspirants are not content with the answer key for NEET-undergraduate released by the CBSE on Thursday and plan to challenge it.

 

While the CBSE's expert committee has already identified two questions in the physics section in the many of the sets to be ambiguous, students and coaching institutes claim answers for at least two more questions--one each in zoology and chemistry (see box) --given in the answer key , are incorrect. Many are also upset about the committee not acknowledging two questions asked on the physiology of `frogs' which was out of the scope of NEET syllabus. The paper has 180 questions, each carrying four marks.

The answer key was released after the Supreme Court lifted the stay on the assessment of NEET and announcement of results. In four question sets, two physics questions were marked as `multiplewrong options' in the answer key . “This will either mean that the NEET committee will omit these questions or give eight marks to all students as bonus,“ said a teacher from a coaching institute. A CBSE official said the expert committee reviews the questions before putting up the answer key . “They already identified two questions as ambiguous in the answer key ... How it will be accounted for during the assessment will be their prerogative,“ said the official.

Nishit Chhaya, an aspirant from Airoli, said it is unfair that students waste time in finding solutions to these ambiguous questions. “ Also in a competitive exam like NEET, every mark will make a difference in the rank. If there are ambiguities in a handful of questions, and if it is not addressed, students will end up losing these precious marks,“ he said. “To ask something which is not even there in the syllabus is unfair,“ said Chhaya.

Anurag Tiwari, the national academic head of a leading coaching institute, said the answers given by the board in one question each in zoology and chemistry were `incorrect'. “We have asked most of our students to challenge it,“ said Tiwari. Parents claim the board usually does not acknowledge these challenges. “They charge Rs 1,000 for challenging each question. But most times, they do not even acknowledge them,“ said Sudha Shenoy , a parent.

The board official said the challenges are reviewed by experts' committee and their decision is final. Students can challenge the questions till 6 pm on Friday . The Supreme Court has asked CBSE to announce NEET results by June 26.
