Cut The Stress

If HRD minister Kapil Sibal has been pushing for some time to reduce the enormous stress placed on India's school-leaving students, the proposal to hold a single entrance exam for medical and engineering colleges from 2013 should go some way towards achieving this.

And it's going to be helped by a complementary reform, the adoption of a uniform math and science curriculum across the country, whether students are in a school affiliated to CBSE, ISCE or one of the state boards.
