Examination results in Barak Valley: Of ecstasy and agony
From our Correspondent
SILCHAR, May 28: Examination results bring in both ecstasy
and agony. It is a mixed bag of fortune. Quite
significantly, after a long gap, Barak Valley schools and
colleges have done well in the HSLC and the HS examinations,
results of which were declared by the Board and the Council
respectively.
Ramanuj Gupta Junior College of Silchar has achieved the
distinction of netting four positions in the State merit
list. Gunakar Goswami is 5th in the science stream while
Mousami Roy and Ajanta Bhattacharjee have secured 5th
position together in Arts, and Somrita Roy has got the 8th
position also in Arts.
Gunakar obtained 438 marks with letter marks in four
subjects and highest mark in Physics in the State. Mousumi
got letter marks in four subjects, and Ajanta in five
subjects, both scoring 412 marks each. Somrita secured 418
marks and letters in five subjects.
Lala Rural College in Hailakandi district is proud of K
Babita Singh who obtained highest marks in Manipuri
language. So is Badarpur Railway Higher Secondary School of
their student Arindam Bose, who secured highest marks in
Bengali.
These brilliant students hogging the limelight in the higher
secondary examination, with unbridled joy, expressed in
identical tone their ambition to become IAS officers in the
future.
Equally happy are eminent physician of the town and chief
architect of Ramanuj Gupta College and his wife Nandita
Gupta for the brilliant performance of their institution.
In glaring contrast to this private college, the performance
of 14 provincialized colleges across the Valley, and a large
number of State-controlled higher secondary schools, has
evoked critical observation from intelligentsia and academic
circles.
Most pathetic is the tale of colleges which have recently
been given different grades by the National Accreditation
and Assessment Council (NAAC) and recommended for financial
bonanza.
Guru Charan College of Silchar and Karimganj College in
particular were noted for their remarkable performances.
This has brought into sharp focus the very credibility and
utility of the NAAC.
Silchar schools again have done well by holding 10 positions
in the order of merit in the HSLC examinations. Seven of
these best students belong to Holy Cross School while
Silchar Collegiate School, South Point School and Holy Child
School shared one position each.
The State-controlled schools have come in for criticism for
their dismal performances. Ramayani Chakravorty, Deepnila
Paul, Tannishtha Sen, Jabir Hussain, Seuli Chowdhury,
Sangita Roy and Chakrapani Dutta of Holy Cross School,
Manavesh Nath of Silchar Collegiate School, Chandrima Paul
of South Point School and Anindita Roy of Holy Child were
all smiling and happy. It was a moment of pride and glory
for Sister Sarita, principal of Holy Cross School, which has
broken all previous records.
It was all ecstasy for the distinctive students for their
brilliant performance in the High School and Higher
Secondary examinations. They were simply overwhelmed by
spontaneous congratulations and greetings from all corners.
Surprisingly, Ramayani, unlike others, who expressed their
desire to become doctors or engineers or opt for some other
noble profession, spoke of her dream to become “a true
communist and serve the society”.
The picture was different at the Government Boys’ Higher
Secondary School of Silchar, an institution of glorious
record in the past. It was targeted by angry students and
their guardians who pelted stones at the office and the
principal chamber for poor results in the HSLC examination.
Only two students came out successful. In all, 35 students
appeared for the examination.
Hundred students of Achimganj Higher Secondary School in
Karimganj district, who sat for their higher secondary
examinations, had to pay a fine of Rs 300 each to get their
results walled up, as they were held up by the Council for
late receipt of their examination fees from the school
office. Guardians thought it wise to cough up the fine than
wait in anxiety. Half of the students found their names
missing from the successful list.
It was yet another scene of anger and agony when the
students of Charles Mar Higher Secondary School in
Katlichorra made up their mind to lock up the institution
for poor results in the higher secondary examination. The
principal prevailed over them with the plea that lack of
teachers was behind the poor results.
