I have always felt that people who deem themselves to be able instructors, clearly define out the pros and cons of situations and then make a decision. After a long time the critical vein in me has managed to thwart all other topics and decided to concentrate on a very burning issue. I hate to say it but certain respectable educational institutions in India have taken it upon themselves to defame the very principles upon which they were founded.
Looking at the past two years and the two years before that, the influx of indian students into Assumption University has undergone a galactic sea of change. I am not questioning the modus operandi of the selection process but the objectivity behind it. In the first two batches i had a firm opinion that quality and accountability were the sole benchmarks considered during selection. These factors have somehow been overshadowed and by the looks of it , quality has certainly given way to quantity. And its but understood that where we have quantity , quality grossly underscores. What could have emerged as one of the best examples of cross-cultural educational success stories to emerge out of India, is sadly heading towards total oblivion. It might take a few years though before wisdom dawns on the responsible perpetrators.
The title aptly describes the mood of other students from the previous batches as they are reluctantly pulled into this new formed quagmire. Well i guess when the going gets tough the tough get going , and optimism for the future stills hangs by a narrow thread. The time has come to seperate the men from the boys.
