AP govt to implement CBSE system for classes 1 to 7 in its schools from 2021-22

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to implement CBSE system for classes 1 to 7 in all its schools from the 2021-22 academic year.

The system will be gradually increased year-wise from classes 8 to 10. By the year 2024, all classes from 1 to 10 will be under CBSE, a release from the Chief Ministers Office said.

The move comes amid ongoing litigation in the Supreme Court against the conversion of all government schools, from classes 1 to 6, to English medium, a move that has caused widespread resentment.

The latest decision by Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy to switch over to the Central Board of Secondary Education is seen as a move on the sly to completely do away with the Telugu medium of education.

Under CBSE, Telugu is only a subject taught and the curriculum will be in Hindi or English medium. The government did not specify whether it will do away with the state syllabus completely or introduce CBSE system parallel to it.

While Principal Secretary (School Education) B Rajsekhar did not respond to queries on the issue, a senior official in the department told PTI that introduction of CBSE system was “only a proposal.”

“This is only one of the proposals we discussed at a meeting with the Chief Minister on Wednesday. We have to study the pros and cons before going ahead, so no final decision has been taken in this regard,” the official said. But the CMO clearly said in its release that “the state government will implement CBSE system from 2021-22 academic year.”

JEE Main Day 2 analysis: Experts say exam easier than previous years, math can be deciding factor

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The JEE Main for the BTech and BE exams remains easier as compared to previous years, claim experts. The ease was due to the option of having choices in the exam. However, in both morning and afternoon shifts, one section remained a bit tricky and experts believe that this has set a pattern for the coming exams as JEE will continue till February 26.

JEE Main LIVE updates

In the morning section, the chemistry was comparatively tougher with unusual questions from lab manual while in the afternoon shift, there were tricky questions in the mathematics section, said Saurabh Kumar, director academics, Vidya Mandir Classes (VMC). “In physics, in the morning session, three questions were asked from semi-conductors. This topic usually carries only one question. In the evening session, physics had three questions from the solutions chapter from where there is usually only one question. Further, in the morning shift, there was no question from rotations which is an important topic,” said Kumar.

Even as there were a couple of tricky questions in chemistry and physics, the mathematic section can be the deciding factor, said Ajay Kumar Sharma, national academic director (engineering), Aakash Educational Services Ltd. (AESL). “Students who scored well in math can get better ranks. While the overall exam was easy and the option of having a choice in exam gave students a respite, the math section was comparatively tougher. In chemistry too, there were some calculative questions. Most of the questions were from NCERT. Those students who would have participated in past year papers would find the exam easier.”

In the morning session’s chemistry, questions were asked from the periodic table, chemical bonding. In organic chemistry, there were questions from reactions, coordination compound, equilibrium, and solutions topics. In physics, questions were asked from the unit and dimensions chapter. There were more questions from class 12 than class 11. In physics, questions from modern physics and current electricity were asked. Other topics from which questions were asked include, thermodynamics, in math coordinate, calculus, determinant matrices, and quadratic equation, told Kumar.

Ramesh Batlish from FIITJEE informed that weightage was given to chapters of coordinate geometry, 3D and Vector, algebra. Few numerical-based questions required lengthy calculations in the mathematics section. In physics too, numerical-based questions had lengthy calculations but were easy. Physical chemistry was given more weightage as compared to organic and inorganic chemistry, as per Batlish.
