JEE ranking shows Class XII results are important

Posted On: 03/07/2013 Updated On:

CHANDIGARH: The IIT-JEE (main) rank list came as a surprise for the city, proving clearly how important Class XII result is and will be in future. Though it brought cheers to all as toppers remained the same, it has changed the order in which toppers were expected. Also, it failed to bring excitement to toppers, as they have already managed to crack IIT-JEE (advanced) that would get them admission to IITs.

Teachers who have been teaching these bright minds blamed the system of ranking. "The system by which the rank list is made is faulty. Whereas it considers 98% of CBSE as 100%, a child scoring 88% from a different board is also considered 100%. This is unfair. Also, there are many students who have filed for evaluation of marks in Class XII as they were not satisfied with them," said Sangeeta Khanna, who has taught chemistry to all toppers.

As a result of Class XII weightage, Abhijit Lavania, who is considered a genius by friends, family and mainly teachers, was expected to be the topper in JEE (main) too, but he has been pushed to the second position just because he could not score too well in Class XII boards. "He scored 98 and 99% marks in all subjects, except physical education. That was surprising as he has never scored marks as low as 80," said his father Chetak Arun, an IIT engineer. However, the family is not disappointed as Abhijit's target is already set. "He wants to pursue engineering physics from Cornell University College of Engineering, USA, where he has already got admission," said Chetak.

Also, the rank list did not have an impact on the highest scorers, as they have already cleared IIT-JEE advanced. Srishti Singla, who is third in Tricity, said: a??Since IIT-JEE result is already out and most of us have cracked it with good All India Ranks, this rank list doesn't mean much, though it makes you feel good."
