Youth Congress chief demands level playing field for SSC students in Class XI admissions

Satyajeet Tambe says State board students unfairly pitted against other boards due to their generous internal marking system 

Mumbai: Maharashtra Youth Congress chief Satyajeet Tambe sought intervention of the state School Education minister Varsha Gaikwad to ensure that Class X state board students were not unfairly pitted against those from other boards during the upcoming admissions to junior college.

In a letter to the education minister, Tambe stated that Class X students of boards like that of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) and International Baccalaureate (IB) got an unfair advantage over that of Maharashtra’s Secondary School Certificate (SSC) students, owing to generous proportion of internal marks allotted to them.

While SSC students got a maximum of only 20% of internal marks, other board students got as much as 40% of internal marks, thus granting them an unfair advantage, he said.  This factor worked against them especially while seeking admissions for the junior colleges where SSC students lagged behind.

Pointing out to how, two CBSE toppers of Class XII this year, had scored cent per cent marks this year, Tambe stated that the unfair tilt was vastly aggravated this year, with CBSE allotting marks on the basis of internal marks owing to cancellation of CBSE exams due to Covid-19 lockdown. With most parents choosing the other boards for their children, he said most of the SSC board students SSC board generally hailed from aided, rural and government educational institutions. 

Tambe demanded that the existing centralised admission system for Class XI be scrapped and instead college-wise admissions be conducted. He also sought seats be reserved for state board students in college admissions to avoid direct competition between state and other board students. He also wanted the state to form a committee of academicians to devise ways to ensure a level playing field for state students before July 26, when the Class XI admissions are scheduled to begin.
