Transparency in IESO
It is one
of the most prestigious international Olympiads. India is participating in it since
it was started. The OCSC camp for round 2nd was held from 13 May-30 May in
Chennai by Geological Society of India. This year there were issues regarding
the way camp was conducted in Chennai.
OCSC exam
pattern & selection process for final round was not shared with the
participants. The paper had questions with multiple answers & students could
know about it only when they asked about it and by the time exam had already
started. Instructions were not given on Question Paper. Even the marks were not
disclosed & answer sheet was not shown to the students which generated a
fair amount of doubt regarding four play in selections. In any selection
process it is important that assessment should be done in transparent manner
not disclosing the marks and not releasing the answer key raises eyebrows.
Such
Practices are not suitable and don't match the expectations of the students for
the exams or contests which are conducted at International Level.

Lack of transparency in the SCRA Exam
Special Class
Railway Apprenctices' Examination (SCRA) is a very prestigious exam and SCRAs
are selected through the Union Public Service Commission Examination conducted
every year. At present, Special Class Railway Apprentices follow the
four-year (8-semester) Mechanical Engineering Degree Course of Birla Institute
of Technology Mesra, Ranchi .
At the successful completion of
their course they are awarded the regular BE (Mech) Degree of BIT Mesra.
There are limited numbers of seats available for candidates however the way candidates
are shortlisted raises lot of questions about the exam.
In the recently declared result
of SCRA written test the candidates’ marks are not declared and short listed candidates
are supposed to appear for interview which is 200 marks. A final merit list
will be prepared by totaling the written marks (600) and Interview marks (200).
The problem lies with interview marks which are very subjective in nature and
there seems a lot of scope for manipulation in the hands of interview panel. UPSC
should get away with interview marks in order to bring complete transparency in
the exam.

IIT JEE NOT TO HAVE WEIGTHAGE OF 12 BOARD
The sources informed that the statistical experts from ISI Kolkata through analysis of Class 12 marks of various boards have concluded that the marks scored across the boards can not be compared as there was hardly any correlation among the marks scored by the candidates from the various boards.
Hence, they have discarded normalization as well as any Percentile (Rank) based Scheme, as used in DST’s Innovation of Science Pursuit for Research (INSPIRE) which unlike JEE is not competitive.
Combining 12th standard marks in the selection merit will bring the same 100% cut-off fiasco as recently witnessed by DU, as there are many boards, which will start inflating their marks, in such a way so as to neutralize the normalization impact. There does not exist any effective mechanism to normalize the marks, as was witnessed in BITS Pilani, where there were 70% students from a single board despite the normalization.
STUDENTS MOVING TO 12 ARE AT A BIGGER LOSS

An appeal to Mr Kapil Sibal to stop the blatant misuse of the word like “ National” and “Olympiad” by private bodies
National word should be used for the exam conducted by the government bodies. However these days observed that this word used by private bodies to meet their vested interest. There are lots of private bodies such as Science Olympiad Foundation. Unified Council and even private coaching which conduct various talent search examinations and used restrictive words like national, Olympiad

CBSE to publish AIEEE answer sheets online
From 2012, students appearing for AIEEE will be able to view his/her answer sheet on the official website a few days after the results are declared.
To ensure transparency in the examination system, Union ministry of human resource development has come up with an initiative of publishing answer sheets online. HRD has directed CBSE to make necessary arrangements for it.
Experts say that thousands of students reappear in the exam every year to score better marks. After assessing their answer sheets, students will be in a better position to evaluate their performance.
This move has come after RTI was filled by Mr Nilesh Gupta a RTI activist responsible for bringing major transformation changes in education , AIEEE has never disclosed its official answer key and kept the students in dark for so many years,
CBSE in order to avoid and further embarrassment of CIC has decided to go ahead with move

EDUCATION CITY is not safe for conducting AIEEE-Pritam Singh
AIEEE Director,Mr.Pritam Singh declares Kota is not safe place to conduct AIEEE exam.
Please SMS your feelings to his mobile no.
Pritam Singh - 09968275220
Initially AIEEE exam has been conducted 8 times in Kota without any discrepancy.In past years we have noted the discrepancy in AIEEE conduction at some centers still they are continued for AIEEE centers. If we take the example of last year (2010-11) paper was out and students have to face many problems and re-conduction of exam was also done at some of the centers.
Every years approx 60000 students come to Kota for preparation of AIEEE and at the last moment they have to rush to various cities to take the exam.
Kota is the education hub for engineering and medical aspirants.Kota is the center of most of the exam held by government of India.

CBSE refuses to disclose the answer key of AIEEE
in a reply to RTI asking for the answer key of AIEEE 11 , CBSE has refused the applicant citing larger public interests as a reason, what interest it is going to serve by not coming out with the official answer key is not understood . It seems the apex body of education is not open to transparency and public scrutiny. It is high time the MHRD take serious steps to tighten the officials sitting at CBSE and make them understand that they are accountable to public at large.

एआइइइइ के उत्तर नहीं बताएगी सीबीएसई
एआइइइइ के उत्तर नहीं बताएगी सीबीएसई
नई दिल्ली, प्रेट्र : सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने अखिल भारतीय इंजीनियरिंग प्रवेश परीक्षा (एआइइइइ) के नतीजे से पहले परीक्षा में पूछे गए सवालों के जवाब सार्वजनिक करने के लिए केंद्रीय माध्यमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड (सीबीएसई) को निर्देश देने से इंकार कर दिया है। कोर्ट ने इस संबंध में परीक्षा में बैठे कुछ छात्रों की ओर से दाखिल याचिका शुक्रवार को खारिज कर दी। इस याचिका पर सुनवाई करते हुए न्यायाधीश बी.एस. चौहान और स्वतंत्र कुमार की पीठ ने छात्रों से कहा कि वे अपनी मांग के लिए बोर्ड के पास जाएं। छात्रों के वकील सोमेश अरोरा द्वारा रखी गई दलीलें पीठ को संतुष्ट नहीं कर पाई। इससे पहले भी सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने इस प्रवेश परीक्षा से संबंधित एक याचिका खारिज कर दी थी। प्रश्नपत्र लीक होने के बाद सीबीएसई ने दो चरणों में प्रवेश परीक्षा कराई थी। सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने बोर्ड को परिणाम घोषित करने का आदेश देते हुए कहा था कि फिर से परीक्षा कराने पर 10 लाख छात्रों

Why CBSE does not release AIEEE official answer key ?
when IITs can release the answer key why can't CBSE releases the official answer key of AIEEE . In order to bring more transparency in to this exam CBSE should release the answer key at least one month before the result , should invite objections from the students and general public and then should release the revised answer key after considering all the objections/ suggestion . It seems CBSE is least bothered to improved its image. already the paper leakage has tarnished the image of CBSE and put a big question marks about its competency of conducting such a exam/

Errors in JEE 11 answer key
IIT JEE 2011 question no. 31 ( Paper - 2)
Correct option is only C, but according to the key issued by IIT JEE correct answers are C & D.
In D option according to the question paper-
Work done in moving unit positive charge from point A at potential Va to point B at potential Vb is Vb-Va
Correct definition must be -
Work done in moving unit positive charge slowly or without acceleration or against the electrostatic force from point A at potential Va to point B at potential Vb is Vb-Va
NOTE : Underline words are missing
IIT JEE- 2011 Paper-II Part-1: ChemistrySection-II
Question No. 12
The JEE answer is: CD
The experts answer is: ABCD
Explanation:
H2/Ni/Heat can reduce Esters as well as amides in to corresponding alcohol and amines. The reactant given is a saturated compound. So it can undergo catalytic hydrogenation by many catalyst with out requiring any selectivity. So options A & B should also be the answers.

different timings to students in AIEEE
KV INA colony Delhi School has given only 2.5 hours to candidates on 01 may 2011 to attempt AIEEE where the Ved Vyasa Public School has given 3.5 hours to students appearing from its centers. I have the stories coming from all around India about mis management of CBSE.
AIEEE aspirants get different time to attempt paper
In the utter confusion on 01 May 11 once again the mismanagement of the CBSE has come in to the picture. There is confirmed news from the sources which say that the AIEEE examination which was postponed to 12 Noon was not conducted in the fair way despite the tall claims made by CBSE. There are schools which allowed less than 3 hours to students in some cases not even complete 2 hours were provided to students. There are also reports that few schools have given even 3.5 Hrs to students. With this kind of abnormally CBSE can not call this is a fair exam. CBSE has to still answer how they are going to standardize 2 different tests.
With all such allegation mounting Supreme Court should intervene and detailed inquiry should be ordered till such time AIEEE second examination should be put on to hold

AIEEE leak create issues
Today there is AFMC exam also and thousands of students who opted for both AIEEE and AFMC exam will now have to forgo one of this exam for no fault of theirs. Is any body listening to their woes
MHRD messes up once again
In yet another case of mess up by MHRD. hon'ble HRD minister who is better known for reforms which have resulted in more chaos in India then actually bringing about the requisite changes. After Last year IIT JEE fiasco, CCE, RTA and this year AIEEE also messed up. It is time to outsource it to some body else who can conduct the exam in the more professional and transparent way while the MHRD officials sit in their ivory towers on the tax payers money. Right from education, aviation, health care, railways, CW games every where the govt has proved its incompetency. We never had such consistent track records of mess ups in India before that. All credit goes to Govt.
