State Govt Clears Best Of 5 Option For SSC Students, New System Will Roll Out From 2010-11
By akansha, Section Education
The state government will implement the 'best of five' plan for junior college admissions for students from the state board for the academic year 2010-2011. The system was approved at a meeting convened by chief minister Ashok Chavan in Mumbai on Wednesday.
The move will de-stress students and bring parity with the CBSE and ICSE educational boards. The option will allow SSC students to choose five best subjects among the six which they can study and appear for the examination. The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education's secretary TN Supe said, "The 'best of five' plan was approved at the meeting. But the government has invited suggestions and objections from the public." He said the proposal would get the final nod and be implemented from this academic year. As per the proposal, one subject from mathematics, social sciences, science and Hindi will not be taken into account. English and Marathi are compulsory. According to the 'best of five' system, the marks obtained by the student in his/ her top five scoring subjects would be considered, discounting the subject in which he/she has secured the lowest marks.

The system would help increase the overall passing percentage of SSC students.
"Some students are weak in certain subjects, which affects their overall performance bringing down the percentage . With this system, even if the student fares badly in one paper, it won't hit the overall performance," Supe said.
In 2008-09, the overall passing percentage for the English subject was 89.23%, 82.44 % for mathematics, 94 % for Marathi and 93.72 % for Hindi. The board has decided to bring the curriculum for students of standard IX and standard XI in tune with the National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT).
