Break The Stress
-The Times of India, February 1, 2012
The Union HRD ministry's decision to develop a common "aptitude-cum-advanced knowledge test by 2013," which, in effect, replaces the IIT and AIEEE exams, "is an innovative move."
The existing scenario makes for a strenuous time for students as they are found writing three to five entrance exams in order to make the cut. Furthermore, the number of lives being lost to exam-related stress has been deeply worrying, in which case, the new reform is welcome since it focuses on creativity and aptitude, and not on cramming the most material available.
