Nitish Kumar expresses reservations on changes to IIT admissions

One day after reports that the IITs admission process is up for radical change and that the eligibility marks for the Class XII would be raised to 80 or 85%, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has expressed reservations about the plan.

He had written to the HRD ministry that such a move would put students from poor socio-economic status to a disadvantage and called the move as favorable to more fortunate students.

It is a true and valid point that has to be factored in while incorporating such radical changes to the system.
