Anna University has decided to bring about changes in the question papers set for B. E. & B. Tech. Students.
In the current B. E./B. Tech. question paper format, 100% of the questions are �subjective�.
This leads to the situation where the students simply cram or mug up the lessons without understanding them and write the examinations.
A statistical data informs that when these students complete their studies and come out of their colleges, only 25% stand the chance of job opportunity.
Considering this aspect, Anna University is exploring the idea of changing the question paper formats to facilitate the students� improved understanding about the subjects.
This was discussed in detail during a recent meeting. A majority advised for the change in the format of the question papers.
Following this, the vice chancellor, the administrators and the faculty are to form a committee to implement this.
A senior official of Anna University informed that the current question paper format contains 100% question subjective with long answers. As a change, it is proposed to introduce 60% subjective questions and 40% multiple choice questions. This will prevent the students� trend to mug up the lessons and write. They will be compelled to study the lessons in more detail and understand them. This will certainly expand their learning & knowledge.
