For the time being, Aligarh Muslim University will continue to enjoy the minority status decreed under the 1981 Act of Parliament. It will not, however, implement its 50 per cent quota for Muslims in this academic year.

Let status quo be maintained regarding AMUs character as an institution as it existed before the petition challenging its status was filed, a Supreme Court bench headed by Justice K.G. Balakrishnan said on Monday in its interim order against the January 5 Allahabad High Court order which held that AMU was not a minority institution.

The three-judge bench recorded the universitys submission that it would not implement its proposal to have 50 per cent quota for Muslims till the apex court disposed of the matter.

The court rejected the plea of the Union government and AMU for an interim stay on the HC judgment. But it issued notices on the plea for a stay and directed that the matter be listed on May 10 for further hearing.

The bench said it would refer the issue regarding reconsideration of the SCs earlier decision in the Azeez Basha case to a larger bench, as it involved several important constitutional questions. In January, the Allahabad HC had struck down the universitys move to have 50 per cent quota for Muslims on the ground that it was not a minority institution under Article 30 of the Constitution and hence not entitled to have reservations under Article 29(2).

In Aligarh, AMU vice-chancellor Naseem Ahmad welcomed the SC ruling.

Rs.500/-per Month as Scholarship for Lone Ward in Classes XI, XII

The CBSE has finally stepped in to take the girl child under its wings. After private schools all over the country raised a hue and cry against the freeship offered to single girl child, the board has come forward and announced scholarships of Rs500 per month for every single girl child in classes XI and XII who has scored 60% or above in her class X board examinations.

These scholarships will be offered only to students of the schools where the monthly fee is up to Rs1, 000 and will come into effect from the 2006-2007 session. “Instead of asking schools to waive fees, we have decided to take the responsibility on ourselves. These scholarships are aimed at promoting single girl child. Any student serious about her studies will get a chance to continue her education after Class X,” said board chairman Ashok Ganguly.

In order to implement the scheme, the board would require parents of such children to swear in an affidavit. Parents will also have to intimate the school as well as CBSE in case there is any change in the single status of the child. And in case the affidavit turns out to be false, the board may even withhold the certificates of such children.

“It’s a hassle-free, self-selecting process. Board-exam score is the only parameter for the scholarship. And this particular parameter is being used because we want to avoid nepotism and make this a free and fair system,” said Ganguly. The only criteria is that the scheme is open to students in schools where the monthly fee is up to Rs1, 000. “Students in schools where the monthly fee is above Rs1, 000 will not be eligible for the scholarship. Which effectively means that the scholarship does not aim to benefit a child from a very affluent background,” added Ganguly.

And depending on the success of the scheme, the board has hinted that it could consider offering similar scholarships at a lower class as well. “In our country, many kids drop out of school even before reaching class X level so sometime in the future, we could even consider classes IX and X or more for it,” added Ganguly. The CBSE has also reiterated its earlier demand to schools to extend fee waivers to single girl children.

Allows 15-Min Cool-Off Time, To Overlook Some Spelling Errors

The CBSE may not go blanket soft on spellings as yet, but it has decided to take it easy What will be a mild reprieve for students is that from this year, marks will be deducted for spellings only if the particular word is important in the context of the skills being tested. This was revealed by board chairman Ashok Ganguly on 15th Feb 06. The Class X CBSE examination begins on March 2 and Class XII examination begins on March 1. From Delhi, 2, 08, 532 students will be appearing for the Class X exam and 1, 51,679 for Class XII. The new approach means that while students will be penalised for spelling mistakes in the writing skills section, they might be able to get away with the same mistakes in reading skills. A mistake in spelling Aurangzebs name in the history paper may not be pardoned but anything less integral to the subject, may be. The boards de-stress regime has brought good news for students. Three subjects in Class X Maths Social Science and Science and five in Class XII Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Business Studies, can be answered in 2.5 hours. The exam time will remain 3 hours plus the 15 minutes cool-off time that is being introduced from this year. Ganguly said: This doesnt mean that the number of questions will be less or that they will be less difficult. The dimensions have been made such that 2.5 hours are enough to answer the paper. This is also the first time that the Class X social science paper will carry eight marks on disaster management. There is more good news for Class XII students. In an amendment to the existing exam bye-laws, the board has decided to allow students clearing five subjects to appear for the sixth subject in the same year, thus saving them the year and giving them option of sitting for competitive examinations the same year. The subjects in which alternatives are provided for visual questions, for the benefit of blind candidates, will now include economics too in class XII. Meanwhile, of the 529 exam centres in the city, 198 have been categorised as sensitive. They will have full-time observers stationed in them apart from the regular flying squads. Any centre which has more private candidates, or a school which has detained too many of its own students in the pre-boards is treated as sensitive. The past records are also taken into account, Ganguly said.
