National Eligibility Test may be held only once a year


NEW DELHI: The National Eligibility Test (NET), a qualifying exam for recruitment of college and university teachers, may not be conducted twice a year as the CBSE has proposed that it should be made an annual exercise.
Also, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has ended the uncertainty over the July edition of the exam and has decided that the CBSE will continue to conduct it even as the board had earlier expressed its inability to do so.
According to sources, the proposal, which is at a very nascent stage, is being considered keeping in mind the resources required to conduct the exam as well as the number of candidates appearing for it.
"While conducting the exam once a year will make candidates more serious about it, resources can also be utilized judiciously as holding a national-level exam is a massive exercise. However, the idea is at a very nascent stage," a source said.
"The CBSE has proposed the idea keeping in mind that only 17 per cent of the registered candidates take the exam and only four per cent of them clear it," the source added.
At present, NET is held twice a year - in July and December - for the grant of junior research fellowship. Also, it is a qualifying exam for recruitment of assistant professors in universities and colleges.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had last year approached the HRD Ministry expressing its inability to conduct the exam due to capacity crunch as it was overburdened with other tests such as the JEE-MAIN and NEET for under- graduate engineering and medical courses.
While the ministry had not issued any guidelines in this regard, the CBSE is still to issue a notification for the exam scheduled in July, which is usually out by April first week.

Educational Tour of Mind Power Teacher Training College

 Educational trips are important in many ways. Going on a Educational trip means more than simply leaving the college grounds. Educational trips should always have a major educational element, but the impact of Educational trips can extend much further. The importance of Educational trips includes giving students the chance to build closer bonds with their classmates, experience new environments and enjoy a day away from the classroom When students and teach ers are together outside the classroom, new educational environments and experiences are possible. Students may have the opportunity to observe many things that are not available at school, including exotic wildlife, rare plants and maybe even the stars if the Educational trip is to a planetarium.
