Is IIT M Director mad?

An excerpt from a blog -

IIT Madras director M S Ananth said that board toppers should get into IITs because they have intelligence. WHAT THE FUCK? Why do we have such people in our country’s elite institute who are gonna doom it. Even if he had cleared JEE(Those days board toppers also got admission there) then mind you, JEE is a LOT tougher nowadays. THAT MAD MAN WANTS MUGGERS TO GET INTO IIT & SCREW THE IIT BRAND-NAME. THIS MAN NEEDS AN ASYLLUM.

Everyone preparing for entrance exams knows that boards require only cramming & 0% intelligence. Memorizing doesn’t make one intelligent. Entrance exams require thorough mental reasoning & analytical ability.

OK, He’s right in saying that only those who’ve taken coaching make it to IIT. BUT WHY NOT CHANGE THE BLOODY BOARDS SYLLABUS & MAKE IT SAME AS JEE SYLLABUS? Then only 5% will pass but if it is made a lot easier than IIT-JEE, then India can have the largest pool of skilled people in the world who’ll have logic in their brains! But the brains of 99% school teachers ain’t equipped to teach JEE syllabus as they too have made their way as teachers by mugging.

JEE is the toughest exam in the world so one can’t eliminate it so easily. IIT Professors & fellow IITians will also agree with what I’m saying.

Ask BANSAL classes’ director Mr Bansal if boards are a criteria for intelligence & you’ll get a slap on your face!
