Solution to improve colleges and Universities

Quora link: http://qr.ae/8njQdN

Students should be allowed to appear the entrance exam only once, in the same year after pass out from 12th.

If this is done, students would have not to waste their time for years only for preparing the entrance exam.

I have seen many students preparing for 5 to 6 years only to get qualified for medical entrance exam. Is  such an effort required?

We study to apply the knowledge, not to waste time for the entrance exam.

Why every student in India dream to study in IITs and IIMs, and Medical? Why not consider other colleges and universities? Why their condition is not improved? Percentage of  the students which qualify for entrance exam is not even 1%.  So why every student has to dream for IITs.

Here is a sure solution to improve other colleges and universities.

Just make a review team for questions paper that students appear in semester exams. Make the criteria that, they cannot set a question that favours rote learning. The questions should require critical analysis, experimental approach, high order thinking in order to solve them.
If this is done, students can't score marks by just memorizing. They have to analyze and think to solve. If colleges and universities don't improve in their style of education, it will have a tremendous negative impact on the rating of the colleges and universities as a student will not score well.

Please suggest your views, what you are thinking about the idea.

From hypocrisy to democracy, This way: Delegated Proof of Stake

hyp·oc·risy [hypocrisy hypocrisies] behavior in which somebody pretends to have moral standards or opinions that they do not actually have dem·oc·racy [democracy democracies] 1) fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country or organization, etc, and their right to take part in making decisions 2) a system of government in which all the people of a country can vote to elect their representatives Yes, most democratic countries fulfill the second definition of democracy, but none to the first definition. Why Democracy is always unfair?  In an ideal world, elections should be two things: free and fair. Every adult, with a few sensible exceptions, should be able to vote for a candidate of their choice, and each single vote should be worth the same. Ensuring a free vote is a matter for the law. Making elections fair is more a matter for mathematicians. The many democratic electoral systems in use around the world attempt to strike a balance between mathematical fai

The Market for Lemons: How predatory journals make a new quality journal unsustainable for business?

Image
Nobel prize winner George Akerlof described how the quality of goods is degraded due to information asymmetry between buyers and sellers, leaving only “lemons” behind. Lemon is a vehicle with several manufacturing defects that buyers don’t know while buying. The mechanism: Suppose buyers can’t distinguish between a “peach” (high-quality car) and a “lemon”. A dishonest seller can sell the “lemon” saying it as “peach” at a price that is the average value of lemon and peach. So, in the market of lemon and peach, selling lemon will continue and sellers holding peaches will start leaving the market (as buyers can’t distinguish between lemon and peach, and lemon will have a lower price than that of peach). It produces a positive feedback loop because, when enough sellers of peaches leave the market, willingness to pay for buyers will decrease (as the average quality of cars on market decreased) leading to even more sellers of peach to leave the market. Due to lemons, or predatory journals, n
