Mohota Science College (MCC) Exam reforms need of the hour
The seminar funded by University Grants Commission is a brainchild of Sanjay Charalwar, principal of MCC. "Our examination system is totally memory based. We are judging students on their ability to write after recalling the content rather than understanding it. The system is over 50 years old and many things have changed in the meantime," said Charalwar.
Ajit Kulkarni, professor at IIT-Mumbai, believes that slowly changes are coming which are keeping pace with times. "Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation of students is one of the ways forward where we can test what they have understood in a better way. The semester system is also a good concept which is finding support among educators," he added.
The Controller of Examinations at Nagpur University SP Kane felt that technology is will play a crucial part in the evaluation process. "If a student applies for re-evaluation then it takes a long time to get completed and everyone believes it is the university's fault. The delay occurs due to the system currently in place where a certain process has to be followed. The application acceptance process takes weeks which further affects the evaluation time. The NU too is in the process of modernizing many things with the hope of ultimately benefiting the students," said Kane.
