Bhubaneswar/New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education’s (CBSE) decision to suspend the entrance test for the first half of the year has been vehemently opposed by the students.
Demanding CBSE to take back its decision, the Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) has filed a petition in the Supreme Court (SC). SIO has also urged the government to conduct one more entrance test this year for those who will no longer be eligible for the test, says an HT report.
Worth mentioning that the UGC NET exam is usually held in the months of June and December but earlier this year, in its July 11 notification, CBSE announced that test will be held on November 5.
The country is already lagging in imparting quality education to students. Besides, there is already dearth of qualified teachers in degree colleges and scrapping up of the NET exam will further worsen the situation in these educational institutions, said SIO.

Earlier, percentage of candidates actually qualifying the examination remained below 5 per cent. Only the top 15% of candidates in each subject and category with minimum required marks in paper-I, paper-II and paper-III were being considered qualified basing upon their category.
Meanwhile, UGC expects the number of NET aspirants qualifying the entrance exam to increase at least by 6% as against 3.99% in January 2017.
As per sources, CBSE approached the University Grants Commission (UGC) with the suggestion to hold NET annually in view of the poor response to the test and also complained that conducting various examinations which are outside its purview was putting a lot of pressure on it. However, the government announced that CBSE will continue to conduct NET.
The CBSE, it has been reported, had earlier written to the human resource development (HRD) ministry in September informing it about getting overburdened by conducting various exams.
Putting an end to speculations, Minister of State for HRD Mahendra Nath Pandey on Thursday said in the Rajya Sabha that CBSE will continue to conduct NET for post graduate students. However, UGC is yet to make a final decision on conducting NET annually.

“This is not the first time that such clash of dates has taken place; we often face such situation where our future and ambitions go for a toss. It will be difficult to decide whether to give a miss to the NET or the RRB main,” he added.

“We can’t miss a main exam but giving a miss to UGC NET is also difficult. However, we are left with no choice. We have spent Rs 1000 as fee to apply NET. Money is not all we are worried about but it’s certainly something for students who get around Rs 3000 to Rs 4000 per months from parents and also for all those who take tuitions and do part time jobs to fund their own study,” said another aspirant who has already cleared the main exam and interview for ASM in Indian Railways, Dhiraj Sahu.
All these dates are tentative. Hope the exam conducting authorities will consider problems of the students as both the exams are important,” said a faculty of a private coaching centre here.
“CBSE did not conduct the NET exam in July and pushed it for November 5. Earlier, students were at least able to attend the exam twice annually but this year they will get only one chance and, adding to the woes, if some of them can’t attend due to the date issue, it will be really unfortunate,” he added.

“We were not expecting such a steep increase. It’s just unbelievable the way the government is increasing prices in every sector,” said an aspirant.
“Earlier, the exam was pushed from July to November and now the fee has been increased by Rs 400. It’s an anti-student move of the concerned authorities,” said an ex-student of Ravenshaw University.
UGC is regularly changing its terms and conditions. The sudden hike is too much and it will put extra burden on the students. This is disappointing.
