Dear friends,
Finally the big day has arrived. The largest and the biggest engineering entrance examination, perhaps on this earth, where an estimated 14 lakh plus students shall be competing for just a handful of seats. On an average each child would have slogged for almost 2 years now and waited for this day.
I too am a father of one such child and have seen the kind of mental stress that he has undergone. I fear what kind of trauma children would face if they doesn't make their mark. Is their a way out?
Coaching centres have further aggravated their agony. Children are almost forced to abandon schools and run after coaching. You slog day in and day out in the hope to make a brighter future for yourself.
With 2 years of almost black-out in his life where he is just cut-off from the outside world the child is almost burnt out.
Is this good? In the name of reforms we created a single entrance examination.
Can we not reverse back the system to just 12th class merit based entrance? Will it not de-stress the children? Too many questions but no answers.
Any suggestions.

Very well expressed concern Ashishji. I am searching for an answer to this question myself. Some time back, I read a book that had a possible answer to this tricky question.
