With CBSE results hitting 100 per cent accuracy, pressure is upon the universities to keep the cutoff percentages high. And with greater excellence showed by students in Delhi/NCR, many from other boards are worrying that their chance of making it to prestigious national colleges are next to nil. While there is much debate going on about CBSE’s marks moderation policy, which allows grace space to students, and a fresh demand for a more equitable assessment code, question is the status of the average students who may not have breached the 90s’ barrier but aren’t too bad either.

Also, what of those who have not peaked the expectation levels that keep cresting year after yearIJ While it is good to know that we have a high percentage of young people with a competitive edge, it is imperative that we make our higher institutions of learning as competitive when it comes to teaching standards and create more berths for students at the state level rather than flocking to Delhi or known hubs. At the same time, more discipline specialities need to be developed so that students can stream into their chosen vocation with a specific qualifier entry test matching their skills. Till we arm every student with an opportunity to make good, then the larger purpose of education in developing potential will be unmet.
