(c) if so, whether any IIT has taken any action so far against their teachers in this regard; and
(d) if so, the details thereof?

Answer by : MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SMT. D. PURANDESWARI)

Answer: (a): There is no parameter set up in Higher Education, including Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), for taking action against teachers if their students do not perform well in annual examinations.
(b) to (d): It is not correct to say that most of the Scheduled Caste (SC)/Scheduled Tribes (ST) students are suffering on the ground that their performance is not upto the mark. For SC / ST students, who perform poorly, special efforts are made to help them through guidance and counseling. Separate cells to assist the students from weaker sections are available to solve their day to day problems.

--------------------------

The reality is, it is true that SC/ST students have the record of very poor performances in IITs due to their backdoor entry (in the name of constitutional fruits ..)

this is said by an ex-IIT student, " About 20 SC/ST were admitted. Some of them lived in Hostel 7 and I became friends with two of them. Not many regular IITians were talking to them. I don't think it was because they were Schedule Caste students, but because there was a general impression that unlike others who really had to work hard and came on merit, these students came through back door, causing resentment. It seems like 45 percent was the minimum cut off score on their high school board exams to get admitted under this program. In contrast 60% was the general cut off score for getting a first division on board and I was not aware of any of the regular students who scored below that. In fact most appeared to have had scored 70-80 percent or more! Obviously there was a vast quality difference between the two groups of students. "

IBNlive News : IIT-Delhi sacks 12 SC/ST students, under probe  (whether SC/ST or OC, i always feel letting in waste fellows into a class where you can't have waste fellows is an absolute waste of valuable time, money and everything.. even they are from a forward caste, if they don't have enough brains, then there is no point to put them into country's toughest educational institute and expect the good results from them.. Indirectly, we are downgrading our educational institutions' reputation and values by doing that.. Even people like Bill Gates gave very good remarks about indian IITs, if we dump the dumb fellows in those IITS and see the above results, at the end even the bright students' career prospects will be gone because of the dumb fellows.. If it is something to do with competition, let them compete and get the seat, don't give them backdoor entry.. meantime, somebody please try to give some inputs to this dumb minister as well)
