Ok, so let’s get to the point shall we? With many youngsters
having given their 12th std exams, they are looking forward to their
results, based on which, what they do in the future may or may not change. Academically
though, those marks play a huge role, in getting into a college of your choice.
Kids trying to get into a professional college
then takes interest in writing the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance
Test), because not everyone can afford to pay the management fee. Many students
take a lot of effort, put in extra 2 years of time, just to qualify and get
into a college of their choice. Knowing all this, and being a country where
education is given importance, what I don’t understand is, why do they bring in
rules that have basically nothing to do with why the exam is being
written?!?? THE DRESS CODE- that’s exactly
what I’m hinting at here (if u still haven’t caught it).
I get it. Light loose clothing with no big badges or
brooches. What is it with the no jeans/ no full sleeves issue? When you have
clearly mentioned ‘loose’ clothing, even if someone chooses to wear loose
fitted jeans, loose fitted full sleeve shirt- you can easily check their
clothes, the exact same way you would, with normal pants/ half sleeve dresses.
Someone please explain the logic behind this stupidity. A huge issue did come
up last year (2017) with invigilators asking students to remove their clothes,
unnecessarily, so that they could clearly check. As far as what I’ve
understood, even JEE exams don’t have such strict dress codes. The first thing
to be taken into consideration should be the comfortability of the students. Don’t
get me wrong, I do understand the concern regarding gadgets and metal items to
which any device could be connected, and I appreciate the CBSE for taking
measures to reduce any misuse, as much as possible. But when the rules in
itself start making no sense, the whole point is lost.
I am appalled that this has been happening in Kerala!!! What
idiot doesn’t know that a bra’s hook is normally metal. If your metal detector
is beeping near a girl’s bra- have the common sense to let it go. Or just do
the necessary frisking and let the poor girl go. By the logic that was used
here, shouldn’t a boy be allowed to write the exam only without his pants???
Atleast some pants would have had hooks on them. Imagine the mental torture a
teenager would have gone through, when asked to remove their bra, not allowed
to wear a shawl, on top of that-wearing light colored clothing!!! What is
this-Kendal Jenner’s outfit for the Cannes festival?!!!(Haven’t seen that yet? Well,
have no idea whether you can call it being clothed…..so pointless!)
Just by reading the dress code rules, it is clear that they
have put in too many restrictions. If you really wanted to apply it without
causing a havoc, you should’ve properly guided the invigilators you are
appointing. Like each one of us, I’m guessing, even you, had no idea that such
idiots existed(you being CBSE and idiots being-the so called teachers who have
everything but common sense). People should start to learn when to go by the
book and when to use their brain. What did they really gain by making a girl do
that? Don’t get me wrong, If a boy had
gone through a similar issue, I still would have had the exact same opinion. Certain
things are worth raising your voice for. Please just get something done about
this. Students especially, start protesting against such discrimination.
In case you had no idea about any issues, just check the
dress code provided in the link below:
That in itself will be an entertainment. The issue is
available on google and youtube. To everyone commenting on online articles
that-‘ Oh it’s just a rule, why can’t you follow it?’ -No rule is good enough, if
your undergarments are asked to be removed for no reason. That, my dear, is
plain harassment.
Until next time, love you all. Enjoy your day J
