Dear Sir,
Sub:
Request for correcting glaring inequities in the system of NSE Stage –I
Examinations- mis-use /manipulation of the system by some people and
institutions
Please refer to the
above.
I, as
father/ ward of my son [Roll No
], seek to bring to your notice a highly inequitable and
unjust rule / basis of Stage –I selections in NSEJS , NSEB,NSEC,NSEA which
will convince any impartial person that
the said Rule is not made in furtherance of the object for which the Science
Olympiad competition is supposed to be conducted, but for some either ulterior
motive or on the basis of a consideration which has lost its relevance in the changed
circumstances.
2. Your Organization is apparently conducting Olympiad related
tests/ competition to bring the talented students of science to focus and
promote the education of science in the Country for the betterment of the
society and nation at large. In spite of this highly laudable object, you are
still caught in the retrograde argument of reservation for various States /
Regions of the country. The result is that while students with inferior talent
get the opportunity to participate in
subsequent rounds of Olympiad , the better ones from other States are overlooked.
For example: the cut off marks for students of Rajasthan is 150 and for
students of Uttar Pradesh – it is 109.
3. My son –Master , student of standard at Kota Rajasthan appeared at NSEJS-
Stage -I Exam from Kota and in spite of having obtained [ ] marks was not eligible for participating
in latter rounds of Olympiad whereas students who got much lesser marks ( from
other States) will get the opportunity to do so. Such inequity is extremely
disappointing and discouraging for the students and parents alike. It was
all the more shocking when it was learnt that other class mates of my son who
are enrolled in schools of Kota but appeared from Uttar Pradesh to
take the advantage of the lesser cut off of UP and higher number of seats and got selected with lower
marks.
4. It
has come to light that APPEJAY School Noida (Center code UP011) unlawfully
enrolled students from other States (especially from Rajasthan) who appeared
from their school. In fact, a detailed scrutiny will bring to light the name of a coaching institute of Kota who
masterminded this exercise.
5. In view of the obvious manipulation, I request you to
make me available the following details, at the earliest:
(i) Please provide the copy of the registration forms of all
students enrolled at APPEJAY School Noida (Center code UP011):
(ii) Please provide the
details regarding the various inspections/ Checks carried out by your
organization to ascertain the correctness of form filled by
students.
That I
am ready to pay cost for the documents mentioned above.
6. I am sure that as a responsible organization, you will
provide the above details to me and help restoring the credibility of the
system. An investigation by your organization, on above lines, will also bring
to light the facts very easily, if done honestly.
7. Further, if your organization is
interested in avoiding such manipulations in future, the best course is
eliminate Statewise quota, otherwise this manipulation will spread far and wide.
7. I understand that it is easy for a
non-governmental organization to shrug off all responsibility and disown any
accountability. But it is for inferior organizations and not for an organizations
of TEACHERS like yours who are supposedly there to foster higher ethical and
moral values in the society.
8. In view of above injustice, I am
committed to escalate this matter to the
highest levels of all forums of
government, judiciary and social media, if not redressed at your level, and ensure that such inequities are
not perpetrated , credibility of the system is not eroded and unscrupulous
people do not go home with undeserving rewards.
Yours
Faithfully
