NEET candidate gets 20 marks for translation error

Posted by Edward Rupert on December 28   digitalglobalist.com

KOLKATA: The , in a recent order, awarded 20 marks to a NEET 2018 candidate after Calcutta University informed the court that Bengali translations of five questions appeared erroneous.

The candidate, Hossain, had attempted these five questions and got four answers wrong. The court, in its order passed on December 20, ruled that Hossain be given 16 marks for the four wrongly answered questions and four more marks to offset negative marking on those questions.

“Denying him marks on contention he ought to have compared with the questions set in English would be unjust. Firstly, because an examinee, in examination to find out depth of knowledge, will not readily think the question is wrong. Second, comparison would then present such an examinee with more difficulty,” Justice Arindam Sinha observed while passing the order.

NEET examinee to go to Calcutta high court over more errors

Wasim Akram Hossain now plans to move the division bench pleading that not just five, but 98 out of the 180 questions were wrongly translated.

Justice Sinha raised queries regarding the erroneous translations. For instance, question 14 in the English paper mentioned unpolarised light, while the Bengali translation said only light. In the light of this question, Justice Sinha asked the CU and CBSE to clarify whether reflection and refraction of light, incident on a plain surface, is possible in both cases.

On the second question, the HC pointed out that while the English question asked for rate of production of heat, the translation asked for the measure of kinetic energy.

On the first question, CU said the principle was true for light and on the second question, it replied that the translation was erroneous. But CBSE chose not to respond.

HC raised three other posers highlighting the translation errors .

While the extra marks awarded has come as a shot in the arm for Hossain—for whom a seat has been left vacant in Calcutta Medical College based on an earlier HC order should he finally qualify-—his lawyer Alauddin Mandal said the HC order only provides partial relief. “He needs three more marks as the cutoff is 420,” Mandal added.

Amiya Kumar Maiti, a former SSKM teacher, who has been constantly flagging this issue, said, “The HC order is welcome. But this alone is not sufficient. Either CBSE should conduct a re-examination, or the state should be allowed to conduct a second level NEET (UG) 2018 qualified candidates to fill up the 85% state quota seats.” Download The Times of India for Latest .

Boon for medical aspirants: SC

   removes upper age limit for NEET   

      30 Nov 2018 11:36 PM Kolkata:

Hundreds of medical aspirants from Bengal have expressed a sigh of relief after the Supreme Court passed a ruling that lifted the upper age limit for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), a national level medical entrance examination. Many medical aspirants from the state demanded that the Centre withdraws the upper age limit of the applicants who are eager to study medical. Earlier, the Centre had imposed a restriction on the upper age limit of candidates.

According to the norms imposed by the Medical Council of India (MCI), General category students below the age of 25 were allowed to appear for the medical entrance examination while in case of reserved category students the upper age limit was fixed at 30. Incidentally, it may be mentioned here that a city based doctor, Dr A K Maity wrote to the Prime Minister urging him to take some steps to withdraw the upper age limit of the candidates who aspire to study medical. According to Dr Maity, many general and reserved category students from Bengal are interested to study medical despite crossing the upper age limit.

Even in last year, the Centre had imposed the upper age limit on the same. It was learnt that there were around 14,000 medical aspirants in the country who were willing to appear for the medical entrance examination but fail to do so due to the age bar. In Bengal, the number could be around 400-500, said Dr Maity, an expert in the field of medical education in the country. “We are thankful to the Supreme Court who has passed a ruling allowing the students above the age group to appear for the NEET. The Apex Court also extended the last date of filling up the NEET application by seven days across the country. This is no doubt a remarkable decision which will give an opportunity to many deserving candidates who are willing to appear for the medical entrance examination,” Dr Maity said.

It may be mentioned that a 45-year-old Pradip Haldar, a share cropper from a remote village in Murshidabad had cleared the medical entrance examination in the state but failed to secure admission in a medical college as he ranked below on the merit list. There had been instances in Bengal where students above the stipulated age group cleared the state level medical entrance examination conducted by the state government as there was no restriction on the upper age limit in the state, Dr Maity maintained

29-11-2018 (11-30 am)

Today An Interim order is given by Hon’ble SC to relief upper age limit in NEET (UG) 2019. Probably MCI has not opposed. There will be no upper age limit to appear NEET (UG) 2019.

NEET (UG) 2019 Online Application Form Fill up date is extended  1 week further.

Dr. Maity had wrote a letter to the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India on 10/11/2018 to remove upper age limit in NEET (UG).

State OBC candidates not on Central NEET list, Bengal govt urges Centre to make amends  13-11-2018

Kolkata: As many as 12,000 medical aspirants from Bengal on the state OBC list may not be able to appear for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) next year as their groups did not feature on the Central OBC list.

Bengal government had taken up the issue with the Centre urging for the inclusion of OBC candidates from the state otherwise they would be deprived from various examinations including NEET. But no steps have been taken in this regard yet.

Many of these candidates might have breathed a sigh of relief when the union Human Resource Development Ministry had assigned the National Testing Agency (NTA) to carry out NEET from the next year. Until the previous year, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) used to conduct the national level medical entrance examination. The responsibility of conducting the examination shifted after numerous errors were found in the vernacular question paper of NEET this year and there had been a protest by a large section of students from across the country.

But NTA might be taking the same footsteps as its predecessor did as it mentioned in the prospectus that the NTA authorities would not take any responsibility for the mistake(s) in regional language question papers and students have to do respective correction(s) in the examination hall according to the English version question(s).

Following the issuance of the NTA prospectus, the doctors, students and their guardians have written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Health Minister JP Nadda seeking their intervention in this regard.

Dr Amiya Kumar Maity, formerly attached to SSKM and Dr Priyanka Maity, an ex-medical officer of M R Bangur Hospital, who were among the doctors writing the letter to the PM, said NTA’s announcement admits that it does not have the mechanism to hold a multilingual exam like NEET.

Dr Amiya Kumar Maity also said the OBC candidates from Bengal would have to appear for the examination as general category students as there is no specific column in the form for the OBC candidates. Many of these candidates who are above the age of 25 would not be allowed to sit in the exam. When Bengal government used to conduct medical entrance examination of the state, the OBC candidates up to the age of 30 were allowed to appear for the examination. The upward age limit for the general category student in the NEET has been fixed at 25.

Apart from English and Hindi, NEET is conducted in 11 other vernacular languages including Bengali, Telegu, Assamese, Odiya etc. Around 75,000 candidates from Bengal are expected to take part in the NEET examination scheduled to take place on May 5 next year. On-line application has started from November 1 and would continue till November 30.

“There is an obvious dichotomy as the State government certified OBC candidates, not on the Central list, have been given wrong information saying they are Unreserved or general category students. Instructions also say if they fill up the application form furnishing wrong information, criminal offences could be leveled against them and they would be barred from medical admission,” Dr Maity stated.

আঞ্চলিক প্রশ্নে ফের ভুলের শঙ্কা রইল নিটে

02-11-2018

এই সময়: আগামী বছর ৫ মে অনুষ্ঠিত হবে নিট (ন্যাশনাল এলিজিবিলিটি কাম এন্ট্রান্স টেস্ট) পরীক্ষা। স্নাতক স্তরে ডাক্তারিতে ভর্তির এই প্রবেশিকা পরীক্ষার জন্য বৃহস্পতিবার থেকে শুরু হল অনলাইনে ফর্ম ফিলআপের প্রক্রিয়া। আগামী ৩০ নভেম্বর পর্যন্ত এই সুযোগ উন্মুক্ত থাকবে www.ntaneet.nic.in ওয়েবসাইটে।

পরীক্ষার ফি ও সময়সূচি-সহ বেশ কয়েকটি বিষয় আগামী নিটে বদলেছে। তবে সবচেয়ে বেশি যে বিষয়টি নিয়ে সমালোচনা হচ্ছে তা হল, এবারও বাংলা-সহ অন্যান্য আঞ্চলিক ভাষায় ভুল থেকে যাওয়ার যে আশঙ্কা রয়েছে, ঠারেঠোরে কার্যত তা যেন স্বীকারই করে নেওয়া হয়েছে নিট পরীক্ষার প্রসপেক্টাসে। সেখানে সাফ বলা হয়েছে, আঞ্চলিক ভাষায় কোনও ভুলত্রুটি থেকে থাকলে তা পরীক্ষার্থীকেই নিজের উদ্যোগে শুধরে নিতে হবে সংশ্লিষ্ট ইংরেজি প্রশ্নটি দেখে।

স্বাভাবিক ভাবেই ছাত্র-শিক্ষক-অভিভাবক মহলে প্রশ্ন উঠছে, আঞ্চলিক ভাষার প্রশ্ন যাতে নির্ভুল থাকে, তা নিশ্চিত করতে ব্যর্থ হয়েই কি নিট পরিচালনাকারী কর্তৃপক্ষ ন্যাশনাল টেস্ট এজেন্সির এহেন আচরণ? এই প্রশ্ন ওঠার কারণ হল, গত বারই নিটের আঞ্চলিক ভাষার প্রশ্নপত্রে অজস্র ভুল ছিল। ১৮০টি প্রশ্নের মধ্যে বাংলাতেও ছিল ১৮১টি ভুল। বিষয়টি নিয়ে আদালতে মামলা হলে বিচারপতিই প্রশ্ন তুলেছিলেন, কেন ইংরেজির মতো একটি বিদেশি ভাষাকে এত গুরুত্ব দেওয়া হচ্ছে? নিট কর্তৃপক্ষ অবশ্য সন্তোষজনক জবাব দিতে পারেননি। কেন্দ্রীয় সরকারের তরফে আশ্বাস দেওয়া হয়েছিল, আর এমন ভুল হবে না। কিন্তু এ দিন প্রকাশিত নিট প্রসপেক্টাসের সপ্তম পৃষ্ঠার সি অনুচ্ছেদের ষষ্ঠ পয়েন্টে দেখা যাচ্ছে লেখা রয়েছে— যদি কোনও ভুলভ্রান্তি বা সংশয় থেকে থাকে আঞ্চলিক ভাষার প্রশ্নে, তা হলে ইংরেজি প্রশ্নকেই চূড়ান্ত বলে মানতে হবে। বিষয়টি প্রকাশ্যে আসার পরেই শুরু হয়েছে সমালোচনা। রাজ্যের স্বাস্থ্য-শিক্ষা অধিকর্তা প্রদীপ মিত্র বলেন, ‘কেন ইংরেজিকে অগ্রাধিকার দিয়ে আঞ্চলিক ভাষাকে কম গুরুত্ব দেওয়া হচ্ছে, তা খতিয়ে দেখা হবে। প্রয়োজনে চিঠি লিখে বিষয়টি জানতে চাইব।’

ছাত্রছাত্রীদের নিটের প্রস্তুতি করায় এমন একটি প্রতিষ্ঠানের কর্ণধার পেশায় চিকিৎসক অমিয়কুমার মাইতিও প্রসপেক্টাসে এমন কথার উল্লেখ দেখে বিস্মিত ও ক্ষুব্ধ। তাঁর প্রশ্ন, ‘আঞ্চলিক ভাষাকে নিটে অন্তর্ভুক্ত করা হয়েছে সুপ্রিম কোর্টের নির্দেশে। শীর্ষ আদালত কখনও বলেনি আঞ্চলিক ভাষাকে খাটো করে দেখাতে। অথচ সেটাই করা হচ্ছে!’ তবে তিনি খুশি, এ বার সকাল ১০টার বদলে দুপুর দুটোয় পরীক্ষা শুরু হবে বলে। কেননা, অমিয়ই এ ব্যাপারে চিঠি লিখেছিলেন কেন্দ্রীয় স্বাস্থ্য মন্ত্রকে। তাঁর আশা, এতে ছাত্রছাত্রীদের সুবিধাই হবে।

Med entrance exam time deferred by 4 hrs

Translation Error Worry Persists

The National Testing Agency (NTA), which will conduct its first medical entrance examination, has decided to postpone the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) from 10 am to 1pm in 2019.It will be held between 2pm and 5pm.

Students will immensely benefit because till this year, candidates under slot 1 were required to reach the designated exam centres by 830am. Students in slot II had to reach between 9.30am. Students who failed to reach the centres on time were refused entry and those who reported at 7.30am were not allowed to eat or carry tiffin till the exam was over.

Now, there will be no slots. Instead they will be given a deadline of 1.30pm. Amiya Maity, former teacher of SSKM hospital said, “This will be of great benefit of candidates.” Amitabha Saha – who had registered for NEET 2018, but had missed the opportunity for reaching the examination centre late by 15 minutes – said, “I could not reach on time as I had to travel 25km from North 24 parganas  to a different district for the exam very early in the morning,” he said.

This year 18% GST and service charge will be levied on top of the exam fee.

Maity said NTA was not ready to take responsibility for translation errors. “Students from regional states are being discouraged to appear the exam in languages other than English,” he said.

This year, too, the exam will be conducted in 11 languages. “In case of any ambiguity in the translation of any question, its English version shall be treated as final, “the notification read. “Over the last three years, there have been several translation errors. I lost marks as I could not follow the English version,” said Saddam Mirza, a NEET aspirant.

Times View: t may be difficult to accommodate all demands but an all-India entrance exam should not be unfair to any section of students. All stakeholders should be given a proper hearing.

The Union health ministry is creating a group of expert faculty from government colleges to provide technical assistance to the Board of Governors (BoG) that superseded the Medical Council of India (MCI), particularly in assessing colleges for registration or renewal of licences, a senior ministry official said.

Creating a separate and independent corpus for college assessment aims at ensuring complete transparency, in the wake of controversies about a strong nexus between the MCI and private medical colleges over issue of licences. Amid corruption charges, the government dissolved the MCI last month.
