You forgot to mention these ‘board leaking the upcoming exam question papers and then selling it off through a well organized network of private tuitioning academies.Thats why its considered more important to go to these private academies than to school. You never know maybe you are lucky enough to get a great 20% ‘guess’ of the coming exam. I agree with the girl-topping-board exams; they rote everything, even the commas and fullstops!!!!& Booti Mafia is everywhere in the world!!

Haha, that’s one terrible Raj legacy that seems to torture students both sides of the border equally. My personal beef was with filling up lab journals describing physics experiments and drawing intricate pictures of rat viscera.

About girls kicking ass, again, we see similar results, but, for perhaps cultural or other reasons, the much smaller number of girls who eventually take up professional courses like engineering and medicine remains inconsistent with the number who crack the primary and secondary school exams.

I had a very interesting conversation with a few friends who now teach at Punjab University. They were bemoaning the lack of women teachers and advisors while we were standing in front of the administration building. I looked around and noticed a merit list posted on the wall and exclaimed that the top 8 or 9 names were all female (actually, the overwhelming majority of names on the First List were females). I said, surely, some of them will end up teaching with you. I was informed that the retention rate of females in non-medical fields was below 15%. That is, less than 15% of girls who finish professional schools continue in their fields as professionals. These seats are fucking wasted, one friend noted in exasperation. Of course, at that moment, I could have asked him why he does not allow his wife (who has a Masters) to teach … but I didn’t.

What is this Booty Mafia? A hip-hop group? Do they have an album out? Should I know them? Are they good? Do they sing the Milkshake? Somebody splain this to me.

I’d imagine them as Goodie Mob’s second act. basically, booti mafia refers to organized cheating in the board exams by bribing officials and proctors, leaking exams etc.
BOOTI: a punjabi term for a scrunched up cheat sheet.

its ALL about the Bootis. when i was in N.C.A i learnt the art of booti making…very impressive, equally progressive. you actually had computer printout which were then reduced and photo copied and handed out…i mean if ppl put that much time into studying they’d do quite alright…about the girls issue. since it is such an issue. i’d like to say that girls are smarter than boys but i wouldnt be helpin the cause. what it is however is direction…girls have it- boys dont. girls spend their lives running around trying to break away from their destinies as tradition would have it.i.e: they’d get married right out of college..at the age of 18 or 20. the less than 15% that do make it to the professional cut are those whose fathers/brothers/husbands let them..the rest unfortunately are considered enough of an investment for their parents- after all they will one day marry and go to another house where the education that their fathers money bought them wont benefit no one…ok. now i sound bitter but its true. as for boys and their wavering interests…it has to do with presssure amongst other things. but in some cases the boys know that they are the only investment the family has and so take it for granted that their back is got indefinitely…its actually all quite pointless…the only reason you actually need a degree is if you plan on teaching or going into research..for all other things theres real life…what we learn IN school is mostly pointless.

mayHa: such despair in one so young! what you learn in school is NOT pointless. it is essential. x+y=z(xy) is used to determine price of gasoline. i swear.
