Mangaluru: Pre-university college management here is worried that online classes will destroy dreams of rural students breaking CET, NEET, JEE and entrance examinations and tests.
Students cannot concentrate because of the absence of offline coaching, they said.
This was proven during the recently announced CET, where only a few rural students could cut it.
Previously, when the class and coaching were held offline, rural students had better rustic, and even able to secure rankings.
Safe! You have managed to throw your voteogin to see the result, (the name changes), a science student from Belthangady, has a dream to join a professional course after scoring on CET.
“Now my dream has been destroyed, because I haven’t got enough signs to enter the engineering college,” he said.
“Our students can secure a rating in 10,000 on the days before the pandemic.
However, this year they have secured ranked above 40,000.
The main reason for this is a shift from offline learning to online, and students in rural areas are affected by connectivity issues.
Students from rural areas are the worst, when compared to their colleagues from urban areas, “said Dayamani, Principal, Shree Sharada, PU College in Sutia.
He added that Sullia Taluk was the worst hit taluk when it comes to internet connectivity and power outages.
“Some villages have a power supply less than 10 hours a day.
There is no network every time there is a power outage.
We usually do four hours online coaching for CET.
Students can only attend two class hours, because there are problems with data and connectivity,” he said .
Because not many rustic students have written CET or have done badly, they have chosen other courses, including ITI and Diploma.
Yusuf, Principal of PU College, B Mooda, Bantwal Taluk, said it was not only an online class that was a problem, but students also face financial problems.
“Many rural students do not register to take competitive exams, because their homes are shaken in the financial crisis.
They will not be able to pay seats, even if they secure a good rank,” he said.
“Every year we collect student data that appears for CET, but this year is not available, because candidates do not make us get information about their registration,” said the university head assisted.
