These MBA institutes take some Common Aptitude Tests for selecting the students clearly indicating that the engineering students have stronger aptitude. Why is that so? Is the graduation education that different for the two streams? Not really. Then what?
I remember my uncle saying, "My son got 65% in Class 10th boards, I don't think he'll be able to cope up with Science. I'm putting him into Commerce." This may not be always true (thankfully!). But isn't this true in most cases?
If majority of students with stronger academic skills take up Science (mostly PCM) at 10+2 level, they will end up doing Engineering thus amounting to the mammoth 236/261 ratio in MBA colleges. I am not neglecting that there are Commerce students who do well too, but only to the tune of 12/261.
What compels the society to make this Science-Commerce discrimination is out of the scope of my interpretation but isn't this the root cause???
It definitely must be the moral duty of the society to stop creating such differences and instead promote the interest of the student, not just between Science and Commerce but also for other areas like Arts.
Sounds simple. But how does a student decide his interests? In case of doubt (which generally is the case), they tend to follow what is prevalent thus falling back into the vicious circle.
We need a radical change in the education system and the first and foremost step must be 'awareness', not just for the students but for their parents too. They need to be well informed to do proper counselling of their teens. The education system should also complement them in giving the children an overview of 'all' the future options available.
It is only then that we can look forward to an all-round development, not just of the individual, but of the society itself.
PS: The writer himself, an Engineering student, is preparing for management entrance exams. So he has tried his best not to involve any personal stuff into this :D
