IIT Protest - Is it Justifying

IITs recently changed the eligibility criteria for appearing in the JEE. Only 2-3% ofthe appeared students make it to that Final IITs. This 3% number is one of the lowest that any college can boost in the world.

Following are the changes recommended

1. 60% in the higher secondary examination - This will help the students to concentrate on Board exams, and also in reality not many second-class student make it to the Final 3% selected

2. Students will also be allowed only two chances - That’s again fair enough. Remember that the 3% selected are the brightest students of India. As per IITs only 10% of the 3% selected students have had more than 2 attempts. So in real terms its just 0.3% of the appearing students with more than two attempts that make to IITs.

Looking at all this , is the protest justified. I think its not. Its being observed that the coaching institutes are instigating the students to protest. Boys and Girls become clever!!!!
