JAIPUR: When percentile formula was removed by the state government, as expected, the number of CBSE students admitted increased in Rajasthan University as compared to RBSE students.
However, this year, due to the high marks given in RBSE, only 30% CBSE students were able to secure seats in Rajasthan University constituent colleges.
This year, students were passed without any examination, on the basis of previous class’s percentage. According to experts, RBSE students scored better percentage as compared to CBSE. Hence, they were able to get more seats.
Sangeeta Gupta, principal, Maharani College said, “In our college, RBSE students got 70% of the seats, despite the percentage-basis admissions. Last year, when percentile formula was removed, CBSE students were in high numbers. It can be seen, that RBSE students got higher percentage as compared to those from CBSE.”
In Maharani College, around 12 students scoring marks as high as 100% were selected in BA courses, out of whom, nine are from the RBSE.
Vice-principal of Maharaja College, Rishikesh Meena said that only a handful of CBSE students got admission this year in Maharaja College.
In BCA, 115 RBSE students and only five from CBSE got admission in Maharaja College. In BSc Hons, one or two students of CBSE board in different subjects were able to get admission.
“This year, in Maharaja College, a few students from CBSE board were able to take admission. This is opposite of what we expected looking at last year’s trend when percentile formula was removed and CBSE students were in high numbers,” said Meena.
However, in Commerce College, the selections have been almost equal and not much difference can be seen between CBSE and RBSE students in terms of admissions.
