Dear Students,
LAST WEEK WE ASKED: Do you think seeking feedback from stakeholders in IIT-JEE advanced examination will help students?
BEST RESPONSE
Corroborated by a few IIT professors themselves, this is a fact that wrong and ambiguous questions are routinely found in every year’s JEE papers. The order, to seek feedback from students and stakeholders, accepting the Public Interest Suit by IIT-Kharagpur professor should not be taken as a question mark on the credibility of IITs but rather as a successful step towards the institute’s entrance functioning introspection. The move acting as an aid for students to submit their queries and seek clarifications on the answer keys before evaluating the ORS will definitely prove to be positive for the aspirants.

OTHER RESPONSES
Stakeholder are the persons who have an interest in the organization and are affected by the organizations action,objective and policies. Thus, students can gain immense from the expert and bonafide advice of the stakeholders. Stakeholders can act as the friend, philosopher and guide for the students. Students can collaborate with them to get genuine advice and clear their doubt.

The point at issue needs to focus on solving student's qualm relevant to the answer keys. In case of any ambiguity, it must be handled in a manner without any discrepancy where each and every mark is justified. This is what a normal student would expect, clear and crisp evaluation process without any flaw in return for dedicated hard work. So considering feedback from candidates at large in JEE advanced exam, prior to assessment of optical response sheet, would definitely provide succor. Such a laudable maneuver is imperative to satiate the stakeholders' clarification so as to avoid future quandary.

Feedback is an instrument which provided measures to rectify or smooth en the process of a system. About 20 percentile rule had already raised questions and government may tweak the rules. Merging the JEE Main and advance will remove the bottleneck of two counselling session and trauma of students who gets an offer from an IIT, NIT and they hang on to the IIT seat while waiting for his choice of subject in an NIT. The intricacy of the issue could only be resolved more by the 360 degree feedback which will serve the purpose.

The Delhi HC has directed IITs to entertain queries and clarifications on the answer key for five days before starting the process of evaluation of Optical Response Sheet of students. This transparency have far reaching implication on candidates and puts a question mark on the credibility of IITs. Till last year as no feedback was taken, thus errors went uncorrected and wrong questions/ evaluation resulted in huge loss to students. Feedback will help students across the board and are able to submit request online in case of any errors in the machine read response.
