Form newspaper, I got to know that the education ministry is planning to introduce GPA based admission system in the Intermediate level. They found that it would stop the unholy business of the coaching centres. Our present exam system is not quite up to the standard. Anyone can earn a good GPA even A+ by memorising the answers to the questions of the last exams of different boards. This system is not enough at all to judge merit. So admission based on GPA obtained in such exams is questionable. So, the authorities should not take any decision which will not serve any worthwhile purpose.
