Everything else in the world is improving except syllabus of 4th and 7th std Scholarship exams in Maharashtra. The syllabus , questions and the subjects are designed by some outdated teachers and most certainly by clerks in Education council in Pune.
Don't be surprised if you come across the questions like 'What do we tame cows for?' or Make the passive voice of 'I ate a mango'. ( We never say 'the mango was eaten by me in day to day English.). A lot of questions in the exams are ambiguous and funny.
This exam was started by the then educationists to hunt and nurture the budding talent in Maharashtra. But the objective seems far from it. The exam has become like any other mediocre exams where lakhs of students appear without knowing anything.
It is high time we made the drastic changes in the approach and the content. Exam questions should be set by the really talented teachers who will challenge the gifted students. In short, the term 'Scholar' should carry some value. we have made efforts through testsandtips.com.
