2,300 IIPM students get jobs
Academic laggards don’t always finish last. There’s life beyond poor exam results. Why, then, do good grades mean so much? Anil pandey analyses
when Raman flunked his Class 12 exams, his family was devastated. He now knew he wouldn't be able to fulfil his parents' dream of making him a doctor. Worse, advice flew thick and fast. Friends and relatives told him he wasn’t cut out for academics. But Raman held his ground. He was sure his day would come. It did. He cleared Class 12 on his fourth attempt. Thirteen years on, Raman has risen above his poor academic record. He works as an adviser with a multinational company. “I wasn’t a good student. So during my school days, I was always tense and under pressure. But that didn’t stop me from achieving my target. You cannot rectify your past, but with perseverance and patience you can change your fate,” he asserts.
Raman is a shining example for students who meet with failure and are unable to deal with the disappointment. Parents tend to write off such children. They feel that good academic performance is an absolute must for a young person as he gears up to face bigger challenges that lie ahead.
However, there is no dearth of students who have proved that line of thinking wrong. As Raman says, nothing is impossible if one puts one’s mind to it. “One can achieve just about anything by sheer dint of hard work,” he adds.
Oscar-winning music director AR Rahman was a less than average student, but today he is an icon for millions. He has reached the pinnacle of his craft because he did not let lack of academic achievements throw him off balance. He dared to pursue his passion. Indeed, Rahman is proof that success in life stems from doing what one believes in, not what others expect.
The amazing story of Sachin Tendulkar is no different. He was a mediocre student, and so was Albert Einstein. Teachers called American inventor Thomas Alva Edison a “dull student”. These men may have struggled through school, but when it came to proving themselves to the world, they were second to none. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Winston Churchill, who changed the history of the world, were also average students.
Not everybody can be as successful as the aforementioned personalities, but their stories, and those of countless others, prove that the academic system may not always be equipped to assess the true worth of students. The system places too much emphasis on marks. Failure to measure up often leads to undue depression among students.
A student who scores 60 per cent marks walks with his head in the clouds, but one who gets 59 per cent finds himself down in the dumps and is gripped by a sense of dejection. Calling the efficacy of the education system into question, well-known sociologist Satyamitra Dube says: “Our marking system is wrong. Teachers are made to check a whole bundle of answer papers in one day. The marking system is not foolproof and there always exists a chance of human error. That is why we are now talking about introducing a grading system.”
