Evaluation Process; Letters to the Editor; The Assam Tribune;july23. 2005

Lower percentage of marks scored by students in Higher Secondary Examination from AHSEC not only prevents them from pursuing higher studies but it also prevents the students from getting admission in their institution of choice.

The Higher Secondary result is very crucial for a student as it decides his/her future as well as career. We are living in an age of cut-throat competition and to survive in that tough competition, students need to score good percentage of marks in various examinations.

It is true that students from CBSE get the first preference in any examination, institution or an interview because of their higher percentage of marks whereas students from Assam Higher Secondary Education Council, though equally talented have to struggle ten times hard.

Similar is the case with students passing from Gauhati University.In Degree examination,the number og first class holders is very limited compared to the other universities of the country. Moreover the percentage of marks scored by the first class holders is very low compared to the other universities.
A student's future depends on his results and therefore the educational authorities should instruct the examiners to be liberal while alloting marks to the students.
