Rush for admission forms
A reader, On e-mail
Every year we face lot of difficulties in collecting admission forms from different educational institutions. Last year, I went to Udayan School at around 8:00am to collect admission form for my son. I was astonished to see the hundreds of guardians queuing for the admission forms. I heard that guardians started coming at around 3:00am in the night and the clock ticked 1:00pm when the last one got the form.Now, imagine how many man-hours were lost and how the guardians faced the difficulties of being absent from their workplaces. Today, when I am writing this letter, admission forms for MBBS courses in government medical colleges were given. One of my colleagues rushed to the DMC at 6:30am and spent almost 6 hours to get one form for his son. But had the authorities been a bit more sensible and updated, they would have hoisted a website having the electronic admission form. And just imagine how it would have made our life comfortable and easy. I don't understand how these techno-illiterate people stay at the helm of administration-- be it a school or a medical college. Matters must improve in this area.
