Examination Management by Anna University

Posted on October 15, 2009 by admissionsource

Guest Post by Debananda Misra

Few months’ back, I was little surprised to read about a computerization initiative at Anna University; it implemented an Examination Management System. Essentially, the system automates the complete life cycle of Examination Management which includes online registration of candidates, examination fee management, results, admission ticket generation, question bank management, question paper generation, automated evaluation up to processing and publication of results.

Anna University engineering college was ranked 8th behind all IITs in the India Today 2008 ranking of engineering colleges. Besides this single accomplishment, it probably does not even attract the top state talent from Tamilnadu and does not even figure in the wish list of universities of most higher education aspirants in India. If one considers the list of established universities in India then Anna University is the newest in the league and considering the number of students it caters to, it is also one of the largest (See table below).

University Name	Established	No of students	No of faculty
Delhi University	1922	220,000	N.A
Osmania University	1918	300,000	5000
Jawaharlal Nehru University	1969	5000	550
University of Pune	1949	170,000	N.A
Anna University	1978	290,000	N.A
Jadavpur University	1955	9,000	850
Banaras Hindu Univesity	1916	15,000	N.A
Aligarh Muslim University	1875	40,000	2,000

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_in_India

I am not fully sure if other universities have such a system but I would doubt against it. At least, country’s premier technology institutes a.k.a. IITs have not yet managed to invest in such a system so far. May be the IITs do not need to, considering a meager 3000 odd enrollments in a single academic year and the fact that each IIT operates as a separate institute. But, I have not come across any similar investments in any other educational software either by the IITs or even the IIMs. As universities scale to admit more students, colleges, faculties and the need to reduce operational costs rises, I am certain that they need to revert to technology to solve several challenges. It is foolish to think that the universities above have not yet reached that scale, at least not after you consider some of the globally recognized schools in US and UK (See table below).

University Name	Established	No of students	No of faculty
Harvard University, US	1636	19,000	2,400
Yale University, US	1701	12,000	3,619
Cambridge University, UK	1209	18,500	N.A
Oxford University, UK	1096	19,500	N.A
University of Chicago, US	1891	15,000	2,100
Columbia University, US	1754	25,000	3,500

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THES_-_QS_World_University_Rankings

There is a notable difference in the students to faculty ratio, which can be a separate topic to discuss. Besides that, what is also noteworthy is that the universities in US/UK are much older then the ones in India and most of these have only a fraction of the students of the large universities in India. This may not be a without a reason.

§ Universities such as Osmania or Anna University in India run distance education programs through which they are able to reach out to a lot more students with minimal student to faculty interactions. US/UK universities also have these but the potential to scale up through distance education program is much higher in India then in any other country, plainly attributed to the huge youth population in the country.

§ The Indian university system is based on a collegiate system, which is not practiced in US; it is prevalent in UK though. This allows universities to set up affiliate colleges outside of the university campus, in different cities.

Whatever the reason may be, it is clear that universities in India are much newer then the universities in US/UK and they have grown much faster to become significantly larger. The India Science Report, for instance, shows that India had a total of 48.7 million graduates in 2004. Reportedly, India houses about 250 universities. Considering the number of higher education aspirants, it amounts to each university having to cater to 250,000 – 300,000 students. Similarly, the average college in the country will need to cater to approximately 5000 students. There are not too many universities of this size in the country, nor are many being planned. (Source: Rediff article).

Without proposing any facts, it’s obvious that US/UK universities will out-do their Indian counterparts in technology and infrastructure and thus, run more efficiently. In such a scenario, while the adoption of examination management system by Anna University is a welcome move, its disappointing to see that it comes at a time when the student base is already reaching 300,000, which is the peak demand. About 2,55,000 undergraduate students and 35,000 post graduate students register for semester examinations and the examinations are conducted for 31 UG and 70 PG programs, involving 3,000 subjects at Anna University. Nearly 2 million answer scripts are valued in 10 zonal centers by 8,000 examiners. These are outstanding numbers for a growth story and Anna University and other similar ones can clearly benefit by such infrastructure or technology investments.

§ It allows the universities to run efficiently and thus focus on the right areas, such as research and teaching. This is even more beneficial in India where most universities have failed to maintain a good student to faculty ratio.

§ It allows them to expand easily. With a huge college going population in India, there is an increasing pressure from the government to expand the universities and admit more students. Technology investments will allow them to scale easily; be it setting up more campuses, conducting more exams, hiring more faculty etc.

§ It’s hard to reach out to the small town population in India. Investments such as these will also enable universities to set up virtual campuses or also set up distance education programs which helps tap into a much larger student base. For example, the online admission process followed by most US/UK universities allows them to attract global talent where as most entrance examinations for Indian universities are conducted in a fashion which can not even scale to even all the towns in India, let alone outside of India.

§ Other than some of the recognized institutes such as the IITs or the IIMs, the student-student and student-faculty interactions remain abysmally low at most universities. Adoption of educational softwares will enable faculties to be able to communicate with the large student base that she/he is responsible for and vice-versa.

With the organized job sector in India growing, the need for a university education will also grow tremendously in the near future. It is beyond time that most of the higher educational universities in India go through a technology revamp, if they want to, at the least, sustain the quality of education they provide today. Kudos to Anna University for being able to surpass some of the other well established universities in India in doing so.

The Washington Monthly College Rankings

Posted on January 24, 2008 by admissionsource

Washington Monthly Ranking like US News Ranking is not about the student-teacher ratios, money available for research, endowment contributions by alumni etc, but about the social impact of universities and their students.

Washington Monthly Ranking “gives top billing to colleges that are engines of social mobility, not just finishing schools for the super-rich” writes Chronicle of Higher Education.

This ranking puts University of California group among the top institutes and some of the Ivy League schools move down.

Philosophy of GPA

Posted on December 13, 2007 by admissionsource

del.icio.us Tags: GPA, Admission, Application MIX, What is GPA

Adopted from an article by Philip Guo

Grades do not necessarily reflect effort
Of course, better grades are often correlated with greater student effort, but effort alone does not determine one’s grade. It is dangerous to have a sense of entitlement that “If I work X hours, then I deserve a grade of Y” or “Z got an A last semester and put in W amount of work, so if I put in at least W amount of work, then I should also get an A”. Often times, there is simply no such thing as an “A for effort”.

Grades do not necessarily reflect aptitude
Although employers might look at grades as a first-pass filtering step, what they really care about (or, rather, should care about) is real abilities and work ethic. If I were interviewing for a software engineering position, I would ask the candidate about technical concepts and his work experiences. If he were able to explain himself clearly with competence and enthusiasm, that would more than make up for a lack of an A grade. Conversely, if I interviewed a candidate who received an A in the class but didn’t seem to be able to speak competently about his technical experiences, then I wouldn’t care about his A grade — I would hands-down prefer the B candidate who actually knew what he was talking about.
Grades only reflect how you perform what is required for a class
So if grades do not necessarily reflect effort or aptitude, then what do they reflect? They simply reflect how well a student has performed what is required for a class.

Why you shouldn’t get arrogant only because you have good grades
You should never be arrogant or overly proud simply because you received good grades in your classes, unless you think that satisfying artificial requirements set by your instructors is a highly valuable accomplishment in itself.

How important are grades?
From the tone of my observations so far, it seems like you shouldn’t care about grades at all, but most of the time, the contrary is actually true. When people ask me how important grades are in college, I will respond with my own question: “What do you want to do after you graduate?”

Your post-graduation plans (not parents, not peer pressure, not personal ego) should be the most important factor in determining how much grades matter to you.

If you are applying to medical school, you probably need a pretty high GPA (grade point average) so grades probably matter a lot. If you are applying for Ph.D. programs, you should be much more concerned about gaining research experience instead of simply getting good grades. If you want to begin full-time work, you should focus on internships and professional networking in addition to your academics. If you are going to inherit your parents’ billion-dollar fortune after you graduate, you shouldn’t care about your grades at all, as long as you pass your classes. For almost everyone (except for the uber-wealthy heirs), grades will somehow matter, but it’s up to you to determine how much you want to stress about them.

Required classes that you don’t care about at all
Throughout your undergraduate career, you will invariably need to take many required classes that you don’t really care about at all, and you have a choice to either not worry about your grades or to ‘eat your peas’ and work hard in them to try to get good grades even though you have little to no interest in the class material. Your choice of what to do about these classes depends largely on how important your GPA will be in determining what you want to do after you graduate. There is nothing wrong with doing the answer sniping (legally without cheating) or exam cramming thing just to get high grades without really understanding the class material if you simply need to boost your GPA, but if you ever need to demonstrate to somebody that you’ve mastered the material for some class, you better be prepared to actually learn it.
