Scaling of Universities..
by Prabhat Ranjan 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Dear Colleagues/Experts, Some decades before, admissions to various courses (including medical science and engineering) were organized on the basis of board and university marks. But due to differences in level of markings among the universities/boards, a new system - competitive examinations were adopted. In this way, the importance of marks in universities/boards deteriorated. Evaluation system of all the universities/boards are not similarly effective and marks provided by them do not reflect the ability of a student at a national parameter. In the same fashion, UGC brought NET. But it is also being experienced that competitive examinations too are not much successful in selection of meritorious candidates. It is proved by question papers out in various examinations at several occasions. I think that there should be scaling indexes of universities/boards by UGC and apex bodies so that it can be determined marks provided by universities/boards are at which positions. It is my humble suggestions. Experts from LIS and other fields are invited to make it appropriate/rejected. Regards, -- *Prabhat Ranjan*, (PhD Student in University of Pune) M.L.I.Sc. (NET), B.Sc.
