Finally, it has happened! After the ridiculous 95 per cent and 96 per cent cut-offs for the last few years, the cut-offs this year have finally touched 100 per cent and exposed the joke of these cut-off in totality.
The 'first list' cut-off for science students at Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), University of Delhi, has been declared at 100 per cent, Hindu College is at 99 per cent and Lady Shri Ram College is at 97 per cent.
What people were failing to understand all these days ufffd the ridiculousness of it all ufffd they have suddenly understood in one stroke; that education is no more a matter of choice for Indians, its just a matter of chance.
Here lies the irony of our education system. Investment in education gives the highest returns to any nation and the same has been repeatedly quoted by UNDP. But unfortunately, education is the only public good in India other than health, which suffers from the old baggage of scarcity. The truth of course is that from the perspective of education, they are mostly giving just about standard if not sub-standard education with the biggest weakness being the abysmal quality of their faculty, teaching and communication abilities. As a nation, our education ministry has no clear cut policy or determination to provide quality education to every deserving student. It could have been done by the combination of two key methods. Firstly by increasing seats in the current so-called colleges of high repute; and secondly, by making hundreds of more such colleges all over the country. Both require a world class process of creating quality faculty ufffd apart from, of course, the determination of the government and the investment to back it up.
Given this situation, the only way out of this kind of a crisis is the government fulfilling the quality gap as well as supply gap with the help of a determined education policy, which focuses on making high quality education available aplenty for the masses, so that India can make the best use of its youth ahead. And it's time for people to realise that only when institutions like SRCC have 2800 seats instead of 280, will they be the real pride of India; till then, they will remain non contributing and farcically elite institutions fooling people into believing their non-existent greatness taking advantage of the scarcity of seats and increasing cut-off percentages every year, instead of increasing seats and producing and reproducing quality faculty!
