Jittered JEE

I remember the day in my life when I gave my IIT-JEE exam. I knew I was not going to crack it, but still attempted for fun. Yes it was an amazing experience looking at all nerdish guys bent on the paper calculating, scribbling all over the paper ,desk ,palms, few also did it on the legs (came wearing short obviously). All this just tells that I want actually writing but looking at all of them. Was in a state of admiration, there was a huge dedication in that single class room.
The screen outside the class room was different from the window seat I got I was looking out from time to time. Parents with a picnic basket containing juice, glucose, fruits, food and much more...if i need to tell u what did this seen mean to me was dedication hard work and brains of 2 -3 scientists mixed together...
IIT s are the top notch engineering colleges and to get through it is a big deal. Students slog from 8th standard to get through this exam. They join all kinds of coaching classes, go and stay in KOTA and read all the R.D.Sharma’s and solve close to million mathematics and physics problems for this Dday. They believe in the system to be perfect and no holes expected like all other exams. They believe in the organisations planning and thus the hard work.
In an IIT-JEE exam there are 28 questions in each section. The answer sheets are also structured similarly. So what exactly went wrong? The sections on the answer sheet were not in sync with question paper, thus those who dint notice went all wrong it. Thus students messed up there.
In a situation like this where you are appearing for an institute with such calibre and reputation attached to it and also for which you have worked for good 2-3 years; you tend to get excited and that’s what happened in there.
IIT has a record of bringing out the sharpest engineers for the country? Was this goof up worth losing few brilliant minds and letting someone in by fluke? Has the standard of IIT gone low? Who is responsible for those who don’t get through due to this? Well it might not give jitters to 4.72 lakh who appeared but will definitely matter the 100 who might lose their dream due to someone elses mistake ...
