CBCS.
A lot has been said and a lot more has been done about it. Mass rallies, protests and signature campaigns. Now with the election of ABVP one thing is as clear as ever. This choice rather confusion based credit system is not rolling back anytime soon.
A lot has been said about the confusion that the hasty implementation of this system has led to, but little about the way that it has been implemented. I, as a frehser am willing to give this system a chance. After all it is a step towards a more liberal system of education. But there are few things about the implementation that don't really go down well with us- the guinea pigs of the VC.
1. The hatter skatter - All the confusion, the mad rush about choosing your generic subject and seeing which one goes best with the course that you signed up for. Totally not worth it.
2.Defiance of purpose- The programme talks about providing choice to the students. But what happens when this choice is not granted? In a lot of colleges, students are denied a choice. The professors have decided it between themselves to swap their students and that's done then.
3. The papers offered- It's a good step in order to diversify our education. But that's not going to happen if we are offered the crappiest papers there are to offer under a subject.
CBCS has a lot of flaws and these are reason enough to have stopped its implementation. But now that it is here, and here to stay it's only justified that the party which strongly supports it and the VC look into the matter at the earliest and take some much needed actions.
