Even though some academicians argue that students’ performance in examination would only improve if they study in their mother tongue, their argument has turned out to be false in case of students who pursue B.E (civil) and B.E. (mechanical) in Anna University’s College of Engineering, Guindy.
The
failure rate of those studying in their mother tongue range from 18.33
per cent to 40.35 per cent in civil engineering and the percentage
varies from 20 per cent to 61.82 per cent in Mechanical engineering. An
analysis of the result shows that pass percentage in several top
engineering colleges in the city ranges from 60 to 100 per cent whereas
in tier-II and III towns differs from 20 to 50 per cent.
Salem-based
academician and career counsellor Jayaprakash A. Gandhi pointed out
that students who took B.E (civil and mechanical) engineering in Tamil
medium in Anna University’s College of Engineering, Guindy, had scored a
lesser cut-off than their English counterparts.
“A
student who joined mechanical engineering in English would have scored a
cut-off of 190 out of 200 marks whereas their Tamil friends might have
scored just 170 cut-off. Students with an aspiration to join College of
Engineering, Guindy, have preferred engineering subjects in Tamil,” he
said.
Engineering aspirants have been waiting for
the academic performance of colleges for a long time. Even as the
Madras high court had asked it to publish the result on June 17, finally
Anna university preferred to release the same on Thursday morning much
to the relief of the students.
