'Counselling and all that jazz'- by K.J.S.Chatrath



Taking admission in a college/University used to be a simple affair when I first went to  college over six decades back. One could get admission to a college but to join a stream of one's choice in a college of one's choice required a reasonably good performance at the High School exam. Things have changed. Now one needs 95+ percentage marks to be able to hope for admission in any college. And one has go go through the process of receiving 'counselling'.

I used to think that there is a Board of experts comprising of psychologists, pschyo-analysts etc. which interviews the applicants and gauges his/her suitability for various streamse  based on various parameters like aptitude, performance etc. How utterly naive was I!" . How utterly naive was I!

The photo above which appeared in yesterday's 'The Tribune' has made me wiser.
