The decision about JEE is well intended, but i dont know how far it will succeed. Overzealous parents will now start coaching their Children from 6 th class itself(for the uninitiated : IT IS A FACT THAT MANY PARENTS START JEE oriented coaching for their wards from atleast 9th class!!).
Some years later JEE would announce that 6 th class(na....first class...) marks will be considered in IIT admission.Instead , there should be only a single attempt for the IIT's.This will be major blow to the coaching institutes and STUDENTS will not make fools of themselves taking the JEE 4 or 5 times.
But the long term solution is ofcourse the badly needed education reforms in India.We simply need more and better universities.There should be a good incentive for taking up teaching as a career.
