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!!!!

Stories of Lord Ganesh

The 43 feet Big Ganesh - at Khairatabad (Hyderabad)

One of the stories

Legend has it that Parvati created Ganesha out of the sandalwood dough that she used for her bath and breathed life into him. Letting him stand guard at the door she went to have her bath. When her husband, Shiva returned, the child who had never seen him stopped him. Shiva severed the head of the child and entered his house. Parvati, learning that her son was dead, was distraught and asked Shiva to revive him. Shiva cut off the head of an elephant and fixed it on the body of Ganesha.
