CUET PG 2023: Why did NTA increase application fee? Top official explains

CUET PG 2023: The National Testing Agency (NTA) started the registration for Common University Entrance Test (CUET-PG) 2023 examination on March 20, and candidates have time till April 19 to apply at the official website — cuet.nta.nic.in.This year, the CUET PG 2023 registration fee is Rs 1000 for general category students, and Rs 800 for the OBC-NCL/Gen-EWS category students, Rs 750 for SC/ ST/ third gender, and Rs 700 for PwBD candidates.The registration fee has increased by Rs 200 this year. In the debut year of CUET PG, general category students had to pay Rs 800. As some CUET PG candidates pointed out the increase in the application fee, the UGC Chief, M Jagadesh Kumar, said that the fee “increase is nominal”, and the decision to do so is taken by the NTA “taking into account the cost of operations”.NTA Chief, Vineet Joshi, confirmed the same and told indianexpress.com that this year the agency decided to increase the application fee to keep up with the increasing cost of operations. “We decide the application fee based on the estimate of the cost required to conduct the exam. Now, all of this is different every year. In this year’s exam, we have more number of participating universities, so the cost involved will be more. In different universities, they have different types of subjects and different expectations, so if you have more subjects then naturally you will incur more cost,” Joshi explained.He also said that the increased cost is also to match up the “constant development of security, and ensuring that the exams are conducted in a safe manner. Maintaining and upgrading safety is a constant endeavour. Putting up additional manpower of observers, technical software and more incurs more cost”. He also added that there will also be “people trying to pull unfair means”.The increasing number of exam centres is also another reason why the NTA has to increase the application fee from time to time. “Once we invite the applications, and based on the number of applications we will try to ensure that as many people get their choice of centres as possible. We need time for that, and we will soon begin planning that now. So, based on the number of exam centres, the cost of operation is bound to increase,” he said.Looking at the technical glitches that took place last year, the NTA and UGC Chief had said that they will establish more exam centres. Talking about that, Joshi told indiaexpress.com that the agency is still working on opening more centres. “This year, four new test centres have been set up in Jammu, Doora (UP), Noida and NEHU (one each),” he said.He also explained that the application fee for foreign test centres has seen an even greater increase because the cost of operations almost doubles up in other countries. “It is also becoming increasingly difficult to find exam centres abroad now, as everything has opened up. Earlier, classes were closed and nobody was using it so it was easier, however, it is a little more difficult now, so more resources are used,” he explained.

NASHIK: Two cases of copying were reported in Dhule on the first day of the HSC examination in the Nashik division, said Rajendra Ahire, the Nashik divisional secretary of Maharashtra State Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (MSBSHSE). With the exception of the two copying cases, there were no other unusual incidents across the division, comprising Nashik, Dhule, Jalgaon and Nandurbar districts. Of the total 1,62,218 students in the division, 3,486 were absent for the first paper, added Ahire.Meanwhile, all the examination centres saw a heavy rush of students nearly an hour before the examination time. Vrusha Jadhav, a student, said, "I was nervous about the exam, as this happened to be our first board exam. Two years back, when we were in Std X, Covid-19 was at its peak, so the board exams did not take place. But the exam went well.""It was nice to see parents coming to the examination centres to drop their children and kiss them before sending them inside. I think many students like me could be in stress given the expectations from us. I have given my best," said Jagruti Tupe, another student. Meanwhile, the traffic jam was seen on the roads opposite most of the examination centres before and after the paper time. Senior police officials said strict security arrangements are in place to ensure no untoward incident takes place.The officials of the MSBSHSE, Nashik division, said the students should not take much stress and write the papers freely.Many students were seen speaking about the confusion that erupted in the class over questions in section 2 of poetry after coming out of the examination centre.

Now, Maharashtra SSC & HSC students to get additional 10 minutes in exams

MUMBAI: Days after discontinuing the 10-minute question paper reading time-which was considered the main cause of copying in SSC and HSC exams-the state board on Wednesday decided to give additional 10 minutes to these students to read and write their papers.Till last year, SSC and HSC students were given question papers 10 minutes before exams began. During this time, the students could only read the question paper. This year, while initiating a "copy-free exam" campaign, the state last week decided to do away with the question paper reading time on the ground that most copying cases occurred during the 10-minute reading time.After requests made by school and college heads and parents, the board has decided to give an additional 10 minutes to students. For instance, a paper that ends at 2pm will end at 2.10pm. Principals said that the board has indirectly restored the 10-minute reading time. It will further benefit students as they can read and write their papers simultaneously for an additional 10 minutes.The board had introduced reading of question papers in 2015 to help students decide which questions they need to attempt first. Non-state boards such as CBSE and CISCE have 15-minute question paper reading time.Last year, the board had come across instances of students circulating portions of question papers on WhatsApp groups right after getting the paper for reading purposes.The rampant copying was attributed to students getting their own schools and colleges as centres. This year, students have been allotted centres by the board. The question paper will be distributed at 11am or 3pm (when the exam begins). Students will have to be in their exam halls 30 minutes before the exam. No delay will be allowed. In case of unavoidable circumstances, students can go to their nearest examination centre and write the paper. All other measures to curb malpractices continue. Prohibitory orders, including Section 144 of CrPC for prohibiting a gathering of four or more persons, can be invoked 100 metres around exam centres. Police have to be stationed outside centres. They have been directed against entering exam halls though. Photocopy shops located 50m from schools and colleges will be shut when exams are on. HSC exams begin on February 21 and SSC on March 2.

  • Times of India

    Mumbai: Junior college teachers from Mumbai, Thane, Palghar and Raigad districts on Wednesday protested outside the state board office in Vashi against non-payment of salaries due to a delay in uploading their employment details on the government portal. They threatened to boycott the HSC exams beginning on February 21, if their demands are not met.Amar Singh, President of the Mumbai Junior College Teachers Union (MJCTU) said that over 300 teachers have not received their salaries for three to four years as their employment details have not been registered on the Shalarth portal of the state government. "It is only after teachers are registered on the portal and they get a login ID can their salaries be released," said Singh.As per procedures, teachers' salary starts kicking in after they are registered on the portal. For registration, details of students along with teachers have to be sent to the deputy director of education office at Charni Road. After verification, the details are sent to the state board office in Vashi, where according to teachers a re-verification process is done. 'The entire process takes three to four years and teachers have to go without salaries," said Singh, who submitted a memorandum to the Mumbai divisional board chairman Nitin Upasani.They have threatened to boycott the HSC exams if their demands are not met within 10 days. HSC science practicals have already been interrupted by the ongoing strike by non-teaching staff of degree colleges. Science practicals began on February 1 and have to be completed by February 20.

  • Maharashtra HSC science practicals still on days before exam
  • Times of India

    MUMBAI: Days before their HSC board exams are to commence, thousands of science students from aided colleges in the state are awaiting their practical exams to complete. Several city colleges, including Jai Hind, St Xavier's, SIES, Ruia, Kelkar, KC, Jhunjhunwala, Sathaye, have not managed to complete their practicals due to the non-teaching staff strike. Some of them have even written to the divisional board office informing them about their inability to hold the practical exams. Colleges technically have only a week to complete the practicals, as the HSC theory exams are scheduled to start from February 21. Some are now worried that the strike will affect the theory exams in their colleges as well. Colleges with larger number of science students will need at least 10 days to hold the practical exams in multiple slots, said a principal. "We also cannot call them for practicals very close to their written exams. We wrote to the divisional board office to seek guidance," he said. On Saturday, many colleges made an attempt to start the practicals for subjects which does not involve laboratory work such as mathematics and IT with help from unaided staff. The Maharashtra State University and College Employees' Joint Action Committee gave a state-wide call to boycott work on February 2. Non-payment of of Seventh Pay Commission to 1,400 employees, not filling vacant posts and not applying the old pension scheme to staff hired after 2005 were some of their demands. A divisional board official said that the issues concerning the non-teaching staff are related to the higher education department. "Most colleges which are not attached to degree colleges and are unaided are able to hold the exams as per the schedule. For the others, we have appealed to them to use other resources and complete the practicals before February 20. We have forwarded their concerns to the state board office," he said.

MUMBAI: In the forthcoming SSC and HSC exams, certain subjects where maximum copying was reported in the past will have extra vigil, including visits by senior district and police officials.The state government has launched its 'copy-free exam' campaign this year ahead of the board exams. HSC exams begin on February 21 and SSC starts on March 2. All districts have been directed to step up vigil before, during and after the exams. The state on Tuesday issued a circular laying down the measures to be taken to ensure that exam-related malpractices are kept under check. It includes the frisking of 100% of students entering exam centres.Important subjects like English, Mathematics and Science (for SSC and HSC) will see enhanced supervision and vigil. District and police officials, including collectors, superintendents of police and commissioners have been directed to visit sensitive exam centres when key exams are in progress. Exam centres where malpractices have been reported in past exams have also been identified and vigil will be increased. Senior revenue officials will be assigned duty at sensitive exam centres.The board has identified subjects in which maximum copying was reported in previous years. Subjects like Physics, Chemistry and Biology (HSC), Accountancy, Secretarial Practice, Organisation of Commerce and Management (OCM) and Economics (HSC commerce and arts subjects) have been found to have registered cheating cases. On these exam days, flying squads and senior officials have to visit exam centres.All students will be frisked by school staff, security guards and police patils. Anganwadi workers can be roped in to frisk female students. Students have to be in exam centres 30 minutes before the exam starts at 11am.Teachers pointed out that while all efforts are being made to ensure copy-free exams for the 80 marks theory papers, the board has turned a blind eye to the 20-mark practical, oral and internal assessment work. "The copy-free measures are good. The board should have given equal importance to what goes on during the practical exams that are conducted in respective schools and colleges," said a lecturer.

MUMBAI: Along with discontinuing the 10-minutes reading time for SSC, HSC students, the handler of question papers and answer sheets will also have to be on the GPS tracking system.The state board has undertaken the copy-free exam campaign to ensure that no malpractices are reported during the exams. HSC exams begin on February 21 and SSC start from March 2.The board appointed 'runners' will have to collect the question papers from the main centre and hand it over to the concerned school/college. The runner is also responsible to hand over the answer sheets to the custodians after the exams. The movement of the 'runners' will be tracked by the board to ensure that the question papers and answer sheets travel to its assigned destination, without deviating its path. The runner cannot leave his/her assigned school or college till the exams are over. There has been complaints of the runner leaving the centre after the exam commences.Across the nine divisions, the district and police administration has been urged to step up their vigil during the exams. This will be in addition to the board's vigilance squads. Copies of the probable malpractices and punishment decided by the board has been shared with police and district officials.Exams begin at 11am or 3pm as per the timetable. Students have to be in their seats 30 minutes before they write their papers. The 10-minutes allotted to read question papers has been discontinued. While students will have to start writing at 11am or 3pm, supervisors have been advised to collect the answer sheets in the same order as question papers were distributed to ensure that every student gets the benefit.With massive copying reporting in past SSC and HSC exams, the board had sought ideas on controlling malpractices. Board officials found that maximum cheating takes place in the 10 minutes when they read the question paper. Last year with students writing exams in their respective schools and colleges, malpractices were rampant. This year students will appear from centres allotted by the board.The extra time allotted to read question papers was introduced in 2015.

MUMBAI: The indefinite strike by non-teaching staff of non-agricultural universities in the state has hit the ongoing HSC science practicals in some junior colleges, especially those attached to degree colleges. The HSC practicals, orals and internal assessment began on February 1. Science colleges had drawn up batches of students for the practicals that have to be completed by February 20, before the theory exams begin a day later. Non-teaching staff of Mumbai University and degree colleges in the city joined the state-wide strike that began on February 2. The non-teaching staff in junior colleges have begun disrupting the HSC practicals, according to principals. In some colleges, laboratory technicians are engaged in junior and degree college work. "We could not conduct science practicals for the third day in a row as the non-teaching staff refused to work. As we have to complete the practicals before the deadline, more teachers will be roped in now," said the principal of a city college. Principals said non-teaching staff in junior colleges are carrying out all their work except boycotting or going slow on practicals. "As there is a deadline for completing HSC practicals, the non-teaching staff in junior colleges seem to have joined in the strike to put pressure on the government," said the principal of a college in Vile Parle. Junior colleges attached to schools are able to proceed with their practicals smoothly. "Our practicals are being held as per schedule as non-teaching staff in schools have not given any hint of supporting the strike," said the principal of a junior college in Vikhroli. College heads said the strike by non-teaching staff is unlikely to affect HSC exams that begin on February 21. "Theory exams won't be a problem as teaching staff is not part of the strike," said a principal. The protesters under the Maharashtra State University and College Employees Joint Action Committee are expected to intensify their strike from February 20. They are demanding receipt of pending salary arrears, filling vacant posts and implementation of the old pension scheme. External examiners have had to reschedule their visits due to cancellation of practicals. Students appear for practicals from their respective colleges. Theory exam centres are allotted by the board.Meanwhile SSC practicals will be conducted between February 10 and March 1.

TIAT will be conducted by end of February and the online application process has started. There are currently 67,000 vacancies in primary, secondary and higher secondary schools in the state. The exam will be conducted from February 22 to March 3, the state examination council said in its notification issued on Monday. The decision to recruit through this computerized system was taken by the state government in 2017, according to which TAIT was conducted online in December 2017 through 'Pavitra' portal. No aptitude test had been conducted since then. Aspirant Akanksha Kale said, "There seemed to be no sign from the government to conduct the exam in the past few years but now the declaration of date has given us hope. We were dejected before." More than three lakh diploma and bachelor degree holders in education and 54,000 qualified teachers in the state were waiting for the aptitude test. Commissioner of education Suraj Mandhare said, "The second test conducted after passing the TET is the aptitude and intelligence test. Now, teachers are being recruited on the basis of marks in this test. Candidates must clear both these exams to qualify for recruitment."

PhD enrolments in Maharashtra grow 109% in 5 years: Report

MUMBAI: With increasing focus on research, enrolment in PhD courses in Maharashtra has more than doubled (109%)in the last five years. Nationally, the number has grown by 50% in the same period, shows data from the All-India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE) 2020-21 report, released in New Delhi on Monday.Enrolment in postgraduate courses in the state has seen a decent growth of 30%, with girls outnumbering boys significantly. More than half the students pursuing their master's programmes are girls in Maharashtra. In undergraduate courses, which involve the maximum number of students, enrolment has gone up by less than 10% in five years.The figures contradict the general perception that enrolment across courses dropped in the first pandemic year of 2020-21. Both national and state data from the report paint a completely different picture.‘Better results followed online exams, boosted enrolment’Even as the All-India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE) 2020-21 report showed more enrolment in the first year of the pandemic in 2020-21, S Mali, former vicechancellor of North Maharashtra University, said the pandemic impacted the assessment process across universities and more students may have cleared exams. “There was no significant impact on enrolments,” he said. A state government official said as more students cleared the class XII exams, enrolment may have gone up in the undergraduate courses. Online exams could have boosted scores at undergraduate level as well, leading to an increase in postgraduate enrolment at some places, said a principal. Maharashtra has the second highest enrolment numbers in higher education, after Uttar Pradesh. Compared to 2016-17, students pursuing PhD went up by 109% in the state in 2020-21. The official said PhD has become important in recruitment of faculty members, for career advancement schemes and other incentives. “Many teachers have realised it and are completing their degrees. The state government is also emphasising on having qualified teachers in colleges for sponsored schemes,” said the official. PhD enrolment went up by 31% in the pandemic year (from 2019-20 to 2020-21), showed the AISHE report; nationally, it was up less than 5%. In Maharashtra, research centres in autonomous colleges would have largely contributed to the drastic increase in numbers, said a vice-chancellor. Mumbai University has the highest numbers of autonomous colleges in the state. Over the last few years, an increasing number of girls in the state are pursuing postgraduate courses. In 2016-17, a thousand more boys were in PG courses compared to girls. Then the numbers started tilting, with over 75,000 more girls enrolled in PG programmes in 2020-21. “This increase is possible because of the rural regions in the state,” said Mali, who was also on the state’s committee to draft the statutes of the Maharashtra Public Universities Act of 2016. “In rural regions, we have seen an increase in the number of colleges, better transportation and more hostel facilities. All these could have boosted the numbers of girl students pursuing higher studies. It is a big plus for them,” he said. In Shivaji University, Kolhapur, Mali said, he has seen girls comprising 70-80% of the total admissions in some departments. More coverage of institutions under AISHE could be another reason for the rise in numbers, he added. Though the state has done better in both postgraduate and PhD education, the numbers in undergraduate education has not seen a significant growth. Nationally, enrolment rose by 15% in undergraduate programmes, as opposed to the state’s 9%. Speaking about the increase in enrolment numbers in 2020-21, an official from the Centre’s higher education department said it showed students continued with their education online despite the uncertainty. “There is a possibility the vulnerable sections of society in some states may have taken a hit, but better enrolment in other regions may have compensated. Positive initiatives in some states for better coverage of AISHE may have helped in the increase in enrolment. Government scholarships also largely covered the vulnerable section, who were financially hit in the pandemic,” said the official.

  • Maharashtra: Slide in Marathi reading & arithmetic in rural schools
  • Times of India

    PUNE: Students in primary schools in rural Maharashtra are struggling in reading and arithmetic according to the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2022 conducted across India in 616 districts with almost seven lakh students participating. The last such survey was in 2018. The study also found that English reading levels have gone up among students in Stds V to VIII.The percentage of students in Stds III to V who can read Std II level textbooks in Marathi dropped from 55.5% in 2018 to 41.4% in 2022. It also fell for Stds VI to VIII from 77.5% to 71% for the two years. In arithmetic, students in Stds III to V who could do simple subtraction came down from 44.8% in 2018 to 34.9% in 2022. Just 30.2 % of pupils in Stds VI to VIII could carry out division when compared to 38.3% in 2018. The setbacks are being attributed to the closure of schools and the shift to online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic peak. Educators have been concerned about loss of learning in young students. Many said it would take years to erase the slate. Eminent mathematician Mangala Narlikar said the findings of ASER are quite depressing. "They were not good for 2018 but with schools shut for Covid-19 for two years, studies have suffered. Not many students had access to cellphones or tablets and the communication on internet is not as satisfactory as in a classroom," she said. Reading and arithmetic, both need a lot of practice with capable and enthusiastic teachers. "Parents too spent more time at home in Covid times, and could have helped children with arithmetic and reading. Local youths can also fill in the gap," she said.Vasant Kalpande, former director of education and an education activist, said even though the state government had launched online learning, it hardly made any impact at the elementary level. He said that students in the 6-14 age group in upper primary classes need a school and a teacher to study, and online classes can only be supplementary to the actual classroom education. "Teachers were also uncomfortable with the online method which affected lesson planning and core academic activities. Education suffered even in schools with the best facilities during the pandemic, so the impact on rural education is even worse. The education department must strengthen its teaching-learning method to tide over the learning loss," Kalpande said.He also said that English reading levels may have gone up due to exposure to cartoons, cellphones and online games. Children are sending messages, and operating cellphones, all of which require them to be conversant with the language, he added.Vikas Garad, former assistant director MSCERT, said the ASER report has always pointed out a high number of students who cannot read or do simple arithmetic. If 60% of students in Std VIII could not do division in 2016, the same students when they appeared for SSC exams in 2018 had a pass percentage of about 89%, Garad said. "Every year, NGOs approach the education department to improve education in the state. Does this mean that none have made the slightest impact ?" he said.The schools fared better on RTE parameters. Many more had drinking water, electricity and computers than they did in 2018. But in other parameters like the midday meal, toilets and libraries, they fared poorer than they had done four years ago.

Many Covid batch students fail to crack screening tests in Maharashtra

NAGPUR: Campus recruitments at engineering colleges in Vidarbha are witnessing poor show on both fronts — performance of students in job interviews and presence of big companies for the 2023 batch. Though most of the students have high scores in university exams, which were held in online mode due to Covid, they have been unsuccessful in clearing the screening tests of the recruiters. The number of jobs too have shrunken because of recession in the US.The slowdown has kept away big IT players, who had been hiring in bulk over the years from these colleges. The limited number of jobs on offer too are not exciting the students, who are weighing their options. Sentiments are down with reports of some IT companies not giving joining dates after holding placement drives in these colleges. Retrenchment too has been going on in a big way, said training and placement officers of some colleges.A Pune company had hired good number of students, but didn’t give joining date though it had put rider on recruits to not appear before other companies. “The students lost a second chance and are once again jobless,” said a professor.Besides quality of manpower, recession in the US has been largely blamed for fewer jobs this season.On Monday, over 500 mechanical and electrical branch students from 52 engineering colleges in Nagpur, Amravati, Chandrapur and other parts of Vidarbha appeared for job interviews in the city. A turbine manufacturer from Bengaluru was the sole recruiter for the day. Polytechnic students from the two branches too joined the drive.“There is a drop in the aptitude and IQ levels of students post-Covid. These students have good scores in their exams. They appeared unprepared for the interviews. Recruiters are considering this fact as they too need manpower, but there is a limit to lowering the standard,” said vice-principal of the host college, calling it ‘corona effect’. Asked how many jobs were offered, the vice-principal said, “Not more than 10 would get placed.”A recruitment cell head from Amravati said, “Big IT companies like Capgemini, Cognizant, Accenture and even local ones like Persistent and Infocepts were missing from the drive.”Another placement cell head from a college near Fetri on Katol Road said, “Although numbers are less this year, blue chip companies are still going to their regular hiring partner colleges. Beside, small and mid-sized companies still have requirement and are coming to our campus for hiring.”vidar
