Prayagraj: A five-day workshop, organised by UP Board and NCERT, concluded at Govind Ballabh Pant Social Science Institute, Jhunsi, on Friday. Several topics were discussed and recommended by the eminent experts during the five days, including four aspects that will be taken into consideration while preparing the question papers for high school and intermediate exams.
Evaluation and creative aspects will also be added.
In the workshop, the CEO of PARAKH (Performance, Assessment, Review and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development), Prof Indrani Bhaduri, said that HPC has been developed to make possible a 360 degree assessment of every child. She emphasised that it involves assessments not only by the teacher but also self-assessment by the student and peer assessments.
Regarding the standardisation of question papers in the Board exams programme, she said that there are 66 boards in the country at present, and it's required that they all come to a common level of evaluation.
Secretary UP Board, Bhagwati Singh, said that a holistic measurement of all the dimensions of the students, incorporating scholastic, co-curricular, and traits of a good citizen and human being, will be assessed by the HPC.

Ahmedabad tailor's son surmounts 'Mount English' to do MBA at IIT-J
AHMEDABAD: What happens when you are confident of cracking Common Admission Test (CAT), but not knowing English enough to get past the interview stage? Ankit Maurya, 22, a resident of Saraspur in the city, experienced the same challenge. Son of a tailor, Maurya studied throughout in govt-run Gujarati medium school and then in a public college. But Maurya challenged himself to surmount the barrier - he succeeded in securing admission for MBA program at IIT Jodhpur this year. "I appeared for CAT for the first time last year and secured marks that put me in 77th percentile. But in that score, too, my verbal ability and reading comprehension (VARC) was much lower at 40th percentile. It was a wake-up call as I realised that even if I crack the exam, I would not be able to clear the interview stage," recounts Maurya. He worked with teachers to focus on grasping the language in a race against time. "I did not start from scratch - the reading and comprehension for schools and that for the CAT are two different beasts. Vocabulary was a big challenge," he says.

Come CAT 2025 and Maurya was prepared. He secured marks that put him in 95th percentile. What came as a huge relief for him was his score in the VARC - it was above 90th percentile.

But he then secured admission at IIT-J with focus on both technology and management. "My father earns about Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000 by cutting the shirt pieces. We live in a 1BHK residence, but we have big dreams. After the MBA degree, I want to work for some time and then become an entrepreneur. My degree will come handy then," says Maurya. He has a parting word for the aspirants like him. "I have now attained mind to mouth synchronization. I know it's a long way to go, but I have gained confidence. I would tell those wishing to pursue professional courses not to ignore English - but more importantly, not to be intimidated by it. With hard work and determination, anyone can learn it," he says. Satish Kumar, a mentor of Ankit's who helped him prepare, said that his case is a testament to hard work and determination. "Over the past decade, we have seen a significant rise in aspirants from Gujarat, and Maurya's success shows path to many who are not good in other languages," he said.
