Manish Sisodia, Education Minister of Delhi has suggested the central governmnet to take an alternative method of admission and postpone these entrance tests for now as we are not in a condition to take these big level exams. In his tweet he wrote; “To think that the only exam is a way out for admission is an impractical and conservative thought. When other countries can have admission through different methods other than exams why can’t it be done in India,” he said. There have been demands from several students and parents to further postpone the entrance exams in view of increasing coronavirus cases.,” 

ये सोच कि केवल NEET-JEE परीक्षा ही एडमिशन का एकमात्र विकल्प है, बेहद संकुचित और अव्यवहारिक सोच है.

दुनिया भर में शिक्षण संस्थान एडमिशन के नए नए तरीक़े अपना रहे हैं. हम भारत में क्यों नहीं कर सकते? बच्चों की ज़िंदगी प्रवेश परीक्षा के नाम पर दांव पर लगाना कहाँ की समझदारी है?
