Many times it happens that the Institute do such things :
1. Apparent mistakes in the paper,
2. Late declaration of results,
3. Changes declared immediately before examinations,
4. Change in question paper pattern,
5. Tough marking,
6. Questions asked out of syllabus
7. One subject's question asked in another subject
8. Bonus marking when question paper is too tough
9. General deductions when result is too good.
10. (hidden - still to be revealed).
The purpose behind the above is to test not only the student's knowledge but patience also. (many may not be agree with this view - but really it is so).
1. When apparent mistakes are there in the question paper then the Institute want to check what are the reaction of the student ? How he cope up with the situation ? Because in practical life when he will undertake audits; he will find so many mistakes of clients. At that time he should be in a position to rectify the mistakes.
2. Regarding point no. 2 supra, patience is automatically checked when results are declared late. Students behave in such a manner as if they have not WAITED FOR ANYTHING IN THEIR LIFE SO FAR.
3. Changes when declared with immediate effect are towards checking of flexibility skills of the students. In practical life; it will happen frequently.
4. Change in question paper pattern is desired because the students who just read the subjects without analytical skills will find it difficult to solve.
5. Tough marking. In practical life also; the fees are paid by the clients after tough reminders.
6. When questions are asked out of syllabus; then surely students must be in a position to update their knowledge from recently published journals. These types of questions are asked only when these are practically very important.
7. When one question pertaining to another subject is asked then the Institute want to check the knowledge of student rather than to check his memory.
8. Regarding Bonus Marking no clarification is required. (liked by all).
9. General Deduction - i.e. discounts in marks (to avoid future discounting of the profession).
10.(still in search of finding solution..)
For the student; whatever happened is :
shocking with pleasure !
