I finished checking the papers of the first class test just before the start of the holidays and I was saddened! Out of full marks of 15, the pass marks is 6(40% of full marks)! I felt so sad that very few students reached that grade. a few 6 and beyond and about 10 was the highest. Yet, all the while I was thinking that the question paper was fairly straightforward. looks like I was wrong entirely. It was quite obvious many of them has not even studied much of the subject.
On another platform I am going through a debate about the need for grooming and basic skills an engineering student must have! I would think the issue is people coming out must have the necessary skills, that is of prime importance. Grooming is only a layer of polish! If you do not have a basic raw gemstone, however much of polish would not make it a desirable item for the recruiters.
