Nagpur: Optional General Entering Test (CET) to enter the Affiliate State Council of Junior College has raised a mixed reaction from academics.
CET was held because the SSC theory test (STD X) was canceled this year because of Covid’s pandemic.
So, to have a benchmark for reception, an optional CET plan is designed.
Some academics in Nagpur felt that having a cet without purpose because the supply demand matrix was prevalent in the region.
A senior principal, who did not want to be identified, said, “The aim of having a CET is to choose the best candidates available for a number of seats.
But in Nagpur, we have a large number of empty seats at the Junior Higher Education level.
In the city alone, we have flat- Average 18,000 empty seats, so it’s not necessary for a cet.
“While CET is optional, some academics feel there will be pressure on them to go with CET.
The Principal said, “Come on school students, I submit a request to enter a college and have a very good value.
But the college might feel that the sign has not been given properly then want students to take CET.
I just feel this doesn’t need to add administrative burden and logistics.
“Toi spoke with several academics again, but they also did not want to talk to the notes, fear it could damage feathers with the Ministry of Education and their colleagues.
A principal from City Junior College said, “I think CET is rather good.
At least this way we can have benchmarks for students.
Of course, everyone is guaranteed to enter in Junior College because of the supply situation, but then there is a race to be accepted at The lecture part is assisted by the government because of the costs very little.
If not, then students join the same lecture and the same course but pay a higher cost because he will fall in a pool chair without help.
