Admission impossible
Every year in India, after school ends, a big, stressful race begins — the race to get into college. It's supposed to be exciting, but instead it feels like a super-tough challenge for both students and their parents. Since 2022, students wanting to join over 250 universities have to take one big test called CUET (Common University Entrance Test). Sounds like a good idea, right? One test for many colleges. But in real life, CUET has become a huge mess. This year, the results came out very late, some answers were wrong, computers glitched during exams, and some students had to travel to faraway places just to take the test. It almost felt like they were being punished. And that's just the beginning. Getting into top colleges like Delhi University (DU) is even harder. DU has a system called CSAS where students must upload their marks, pick their favorite courses and colleges, and solve tricky subject-matching puzzles — all online. Then a computer decides who gets what seat. Sounds confusing? It is! So confusing that coaching centers now charge money to help families fill out these forms. That means students from poor or rural backgrounds — who may not have a fast computer or anyone to help — are left behind. This year, over 2.39 lakh students (that's 239,000!) completed DU's second round of admissions. But with such few seats, getting into the course you like is mostly about luck, stress, and knowing how to deal with all the digital forms. In many countries, going to college doesn't feel like a computer game with impossible levels. But in India, it's become a test of patience, nerves, and who has better tech help. And sadly, no one is being held responsible for making this so hard. Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Disclaimer Views expressed above are the author's own.
