Extra marks under classical and folk arts quota: 5 years old organizations will be allowed to grant marks

From this year, students excelling in the folk arts can get 10-25 extra marks in the Secondary School Examination and for this, the government had laid out a GR in January which the states the conditions for the institutions which would be eligible for granting the extra marks and one of the condition of GR is that the institute must be 10 years old.In a recent notification, government made a tweak to this condition and said that the institutes which are five years old will also be able to grant the extra marks. According to the GR, students who are studying classical arts and pass the three exams as recognized by the department will get 10 marks extra, while passing the 5 exams will get them 15 marks extra. While the majority agree with the introduction of the quota but they don’t share the same views about relaxing the stringent conditions as relaxed conditions can lead to the proliferation of the institutes. “It is good that the state education department decided to introduce this quota and it will benefit the students. I personally don't place too much importance on Class X exam marks, as I feel that these grades are only important to get admission to Class XI. But yes, there should be stringent conditions for recognizing institutions that can award these extra marks,” said Vasant Kalpande, former chairman of the Maharashtra state board.Some school principals fee that the relaxing the criteria is not the only area of concern. “The criteria of 10 years was also decided by them and then they relaxed it, so… it's all very arbitrary… what's more important is why this was introduced and how it will impact non-state board students. Of course, one can argue… that such a step would benefit state board students and encourage them to take up skills which are often neglected. But this would give them an edge over their non-state board counterparts, who have no such provision for extra marks. Naturally, less experience required means more such organizations qualify, so more students get the advantage,” said Anveet Pathak, director of Millennium School.
