Taking strong objection to the manner in which the IITs select candidates every year, CNR Rao, chairman, Scientific Advisory Council of the Prime Minister, today emphasised the need for reducing the burden on students.
The concept of examination has killed the spirit of innovation among students. Every year, IITs conduct entrance examination and students are exhausted by the time they successfully complete them. They tend to lead a retired life for the next four years (course duration). Where is the scope for innovation? Examinations should only be incidental, Rao, who is also chairman of IITs, said.
Delivering the keynote address at the CIIs India Innovation Summit 2007, Rao said students were forced to rely on tutorials to prepare for the IITs entrance examination. This was not the situation when the IITs were started. The entrance examinations are killing the spirit of creativity among students. This is not good for a developing country like ours, he said.
