hi everyone ...
No muvi review this time .. its a BLOG(time???) to be serious..
Last sunday ive given, one of the most hyped highly respected n dignified, MMS-CET 2007.. It was bit difficult(or i thought so)..
Im not here to discuss the question paper though.. bt even more (very??) serious issue swirling around in our so coveted AAMCHI MUMBAI ..
CET started at 2.30 to be completed in 2.5 hrs ie till 5.00 In the dying moments, though there was, yes u may have guessed right, POWER CUT...around 4.15 i think. Just b4 final minutes, a staff-person came and said there wont be FINAL HOOTER as power was cut off. Even WARNING BELL which is normally honked 5 minutes b4 (any)exams wasnt to be..
ARGUMENTS:
1: I was lucky tat my exam-hall was sufficiently spaced, so fresh air was quite (if not abundant) satisfactory.. more importantly illumination was good so i didnt find reading questions difficult ...
You may say i m saying just trivial aspects of POWER CUTs .. bt nooo it isnt so niggling. Think about students in a room with not-tat-enugh light.. n also the fact tat the WINTER TIME(wic usually come 4 iota of a time in Mumbai) is over n temp. has already raised his head .. add to it the FEAR of PERFORMANCE and the ANXIETY of the student, student PERSPIRING could be all but natural...
2: The unavailability of ELECTRICAL HOOTER was again questionable. As for probability goes, the possibility of the TIMING SHOWN BY WATCHES OF ALL THE INVILGATOR's in a particular EXAM CENTER to be same, is negligible. So der may be the case tat students of some Classrooms in a particular center would have got more time(let it be in seconds alone) then other students in same center
A Student normally give 50-70 days for preparations of such ennobled WARS(i feel it calling so). Having done all practices the final showdown depends on THIS CRUCIAL LAST n DYING MOMENTS .. Even a second earn could get him one extra mark n b'live this 1 mark do make a lot of difference in this highly competitive exams...
We may be OH-SO-HIGHLY-PLACED in global map, bt reality isnt tat exciting..I cant present any solution to this power-cutts, infact im not even against it, but i dearly think tat days as such (like CETs, CATs, Xths, XIIths exams) should be exempted from curse of power-cut.
Come down to the basics oh dear govt. coz. the student sitting in the classroom could very well be another DHIRUBHAI in the making and u may (let it be in unawareness) holding him back !!!
