Change in third semester exam
This year, for the first time the exam will be conducted on the OMR sheet. The entire examination of the third semester will be conducted on the OMR sheet. Earlier, rules related to this were published. It states that primary and upper primary teachers can also be supervisor if there is a shortage of teachers. However, each of them requires having a permanent teacher, no temporary teacher can be a supervisor in the examination.
Big change about going toilet
Toilet this year during the exam exam Will not be able to go The third semester examination is 1 hour and 15 minutes, so no candidate will be able to go to the toilet during the exam. However, very serious conditions have been exempted. In such a situation, the question paper and OMR sheet will have to be submitted. This time the admit card will be given online. There is no need to take it from school. If you forget to bring the admit card on the first day, the exam will not be canceled. However, it is mandatory to bring the admit card from the second day.
So the question arises, is this rule valid or against the rights of students? We interacted with parents, parents association, doctors and lawyers… Let us know what experts say.
What do parents have to say on this?
Anu Sharma, who lives in Delhi, says that his daughter studies in class 12. During the examination, my daughter has a lot of anxiety. In such a situation, if permission to go to the toilet is not given, then its stress will increase further. In such a situation, his exam can also be bad. This is against the mental health of children. She says that if you want to stop copying, increase security, but it is inhuman to not let the toilet go to the toilet. What will happen if there is a medical emergency? “
Yogendra Kaushal, who lives in Noida, says that his son is preparing for IIT. They say that today’s children have become very smart, they know that their countdown will start as soon as IIT is logged in the exam. In such a situation, I will explain to my son that if possible, do not go to the toilet and waste time during the exam, but if necessary, they can go to the toilet with permission.
What do doctors say
We talked to the doctors on the prohibition of going to the toilet during the examination. Wanted to know that it was not harming the health of children? So let’s know what effect this decision can be on the physical and mental health of children. Clinical psychologist Dr. Binda Singh says that there is a lot of stress in children during the examination. When they already know that they cannot go to the toilet, it increases further. This can cause problems such as anxiety, nervousness, restlessness and decrease in focus. “
Dr. Deepak Verma of Patna AIIMS says that if a child stops the toilet repeatedly, it puts pressure on his bladder muscles. This can later affect the urinary tract infection (UTI), the weakness of the bladder, even the kidney. This problem is seen more especially in girls and young children. There are some children who have to go to the toilet again and again. In the opinion of doctors, some more methods should be adopted to prevent duplication.
What does Parents Association say?
Delhi Parents Association President Aprajita Gautam says that this rule is completely a violation of children’s human rights. Every child has the right to go to the toilet. But if it is to stop the copying during the examination, then many ways are adopted during the examination, such as the children are not allowed to wear a belt, clock or any kind of things, even wearing black thread around the throat. He told that the children who go for JEE, NEET are not allowed to take any other thing other than the admit card and Aadhaar copy.
But where there is talk of not going to the toilet during the examination, some parameters will have to be set and children should not stop during the examination and if you do not want to stop copying, then you can talk to the children that they can not go to the toilet during the exam and save their time and if there is no more emergency, then they can go to the toilet after the exam. If children save their time during the exam, then they will be beneficial for them because your time starts as soon as you login in exams like JEE. At the same time, you also have only three hours in NEET.
During this time, if you go to the washroom, you will be wasted 5-10 minutes. Because children have been preparing for this exam for months and years. In such a situation, if you go to the washroom, then your time will be wasted and may not be the result. At the same time, if you save your time during the exam, then your result may be done. The entire game of the competition is based above the ranking. If any children have anxiety or any kind of problem during the examination, then parents should counseling children before the examination. Because this is not just about the competition, it is a matter of whole life.
What do legal experts say?
Mahmood Alam, a lawyer of the Patiala Court, says that the forbits of going to the toilet in the examination are wrong. The law will never support it. The rules of examination cannot be like this. It is inhuman and can disturb the entire examination hall. For example, if a candidate is not allowed to go to the toilet, his health may deteriorate. Examination boards can make rules, but they should be logical and not arbitrary. If the examination is of 30 minutes or less, one reason for not getting permission can be banned, but if the exam is of 1 hour or more then it will be illegal to stop going toilet. If there is a fear of cheating at the examination center, then a staff can be sent along.
