KOLKATA: Marking a new low for the West Bengal Higher Secondary Council, not a unmarried scholar from the state board figured a few of the top-10 within the 2018 West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination, the effects for which have been declared on Wednesday.
The state board was not only driven out of the top-10 record —six of which went to CBSE-affiliated schools and the remainder to ICSE board schools — it was also edged out by the two central boards within the record of first 10,000 rank holders.
This led the WBJEE to solid its web wider liberating the research of all 1,05,081 a success applicants—all those that scored above zero—allowing the state board to showcase a 47% luck fee. Till closing yr, the WBJEE released the board-wise breakup of only the top- 10,000 ranks.
Desperate to retain a success students and stem the migration tide that has had engineering faculties within the state scuffling with mounting vacancies in the past, the WBJEE published the leads to document time and plans to start counselling a minimum of every week ahead of others.
Aware of the impending exodus to the IITs and other engineering institutes across the nation, the WBJEEB has determined to allow all applicants who've scored above zero to participate in e-counselling for the 35,000 engineering seats in Bengal.
However, those steps is probably not enough as all toppers are eagerly expecting the IIT-JEE (Advanced) end result and don't have any hesitation in pronouncing that they're going to opt for the premier institute over engineering faculties in Bengal.
This yr’s topper, Avinandan Bose, is from South Point High School, an institution that has persistently carried out smartly at WBJEE through the years. However, in contrast to earlier years where a predictable record of faculties equipped the top performers, this yr there have been surprises in store. Dedeepyo Ray of Hariyana Vidya Mandir bagged the second one rank whilst Archisman Saha of DPS Ruby Park stood 3rd.
While no unmarried school ruled the top-10 record, Ritwik Ganguly (rank 7) of Hem Sheela Model School in Durgapur is the only one from the districts to figure within the top-10.
In 2017, 47% of the top 10,000 applicants had been from CBSE, 26% from WBHSC, 13% from Bihar Board, 9% from ISC and 5% from other boards. WBJEE on Wednesday refused to divulge the board-wise ratio of height 10,000 applicants and as an alternative released the ratio for all 1,00,976 a success examinees that had 47% from WBHSC, 25% from CBSE, 15% from Bihar Board, 6% from CISCE and seven% from other boards. But this ratio isn't indicative of the performance by students from WBHSC as 99% examinees were a success.
“Several students who at the moment are within the record of a success applicants have scored very poorly and would not get a spot in any engineering college. Quality students figure only within the top-10,000 ranks,” said a professor of a personal engineering college.
WBJEE chairman Malayendu Saha attempted to justify its decision by claiming it will were “unfair” to rejoice the top 10,000 students whilst leaving out the remainder. “The research would were incorrect since although one specific board may have succeeded within the height 10,000, the total picture tells a distinct tale,” he explained.
What the legitimate didn't point out is that the ratio of students that had seemed for the exam from every board was very similar to the luck statistics that it had published. Thus, WBHSC’s 47% luck was only because of an equally top share of examinees from the board that had taken the examination.
“It was not the WBJEE Board’s responsibility to put a particular HS examination undertaking body on a pedestal and negate others,” said some other WBJEE Board legitimate.
This yr, the board has published the effects for admissions to the engineering courses in Bengal inside 31 days, 11 days ahead of closing yr. Sources said this was achieved to scale back the collection of empty seats in engineering faculties. It plans to start counselling from June 4, immediately after the publication of results by all higher secondary exam undertaking boards. Counselling for NITs and other generation institutes are prone to begin from the second one week of June.
“Offering seats early to students may scale back the collection of vacancies as applicants may hesitate to leave for some other college in other states after fee fee,” said Saha. The newest All-India Council for Technical Education information displays that the share of vacant seats in engineering and generation faculties throughout Bengal has higher from 28% in 2012-2013 to 42% in 2016-2017.
