16,000 students fail in Maths at Punjab varsity

Chandigarh: 16,000 students of all the 66 engineering colleges affiliated to the Punjab Technical University (PTU) have failed in the Mathematics examination which was conducted recently.
The shocking results came after a liberal re-evaluation of the answer scripts of students.
According to Tejinder Kaur, Principal Secretary, Technical Education and Vice-Chancellor, Punjab Technical University (PTU), said, "If you can't study Maths, then you are a pseudo-engineer. But then, people are obsessed with the idea of getting a degree".
PTU has under its affiliation 40 Engineering colleges, 56 Management colleges, 17 Pharmacy, 6 Architecture, 2 Hotel Management and 13 colleges imparting courses in Medical Lab Technology & IT disciplines.
Wipro, Infosys and TCS are the main recruiters at the varsity.
Rakesh Verma, Director, said, "You could argue for drastic measures such as overhaul of the entire education system, but these are long-drawn processes. In Punjab, we have identified this issue and are now placing a serious emphasis on development of human resources. We have tied up with several professional colleges and placement agencies and are coming up with programmes on skill enhancement".
