College-wise Inter results on BIE site
Tags:
In a significant development, the state government has decided to post college-wise Intermediate examination results on the Board of Intermediate Education website from this year.
The move is an effort to check trumped-up claims about the results of students made by corporate and private junior colleges across the state.
According to sources, plans are afoot to extend the facility to schools to enable parents to know school-wise SSC results.
There is no provision till now for the public to know the results of each college and verify which institutions the toppers are from, or whether a particular college has secured 100 per cent result.
The parents of students have no option but to rely on publicity and media advertisements issued by the college managements.
There are widespread complaints each year that corporate colleges anno-unce trumped-up results and ranks to make their institutions more enticing for students.
By posting the results of each college on the website, the government hopes that the public could make correct decisions during the admission season.
Mr K. Parthasarathi, mi-nister for secondary education, explained: “We have seen an unhealthy competition among corporate and private junior colleges over the last few years.
“The college managements falsely claim that their students achieved top ranks, and also publicise about achieving 100 per cent results to attract more admissions.”
Colleges were misleading people with such “false claims”, he said
Mr Parthasarathi stated: “Parents and students are being cheated because of this. The government will not allow this. Once the results are posted online, they can verify the claims.”
He assured that posting college-wise results online would help check “unethical practices”.
There are complaints that colleges and institutions publicise only a handful of students who scored high marks and hide the fact about many others who failed to score well.
There were instances in the past when some students who secured top ranks found their names linked with colleges and coaching centres they had never ever attend.
There are complaints, too, that these institutions publicise only a handful of students who scored high marks and hide the fact about many others who failed to score well.
