What is wrong with HRD's CET Proposal

Question  - What is wrong with HRD's CET  Proposal:

Answer  - Basically everything:

We cannot put all eggs in one basket. Failure in one exam should not kill some ones dream to become an engineer forever. Currently there may be many exams that cost a lot as well as being stressful, but at least the students have a CHOICE to try for IIT or NIT or State Colleges or Private colleges as they see fit. One Common entrance exam nationally removes all options as well as opportunities and is so wrong. You do not need a PhD to understand this.

The whole idea behind HRD Proposal is to draw students away from JEE Coaching schools. Unfortunately the outcome of this proposal will be exactly the opposite as the proposal feeds coaching schools the opportunity to coach for Board exam, to coach for JEE Mains and also coach for JEE Advanced. If the expert committee members cannot visualise this I must say they are as blind as bats, Acharya and Ramaswamy and IITM Senate and all. JEE Coaching schools business opportunity will become three fold.

Indian National Congress Party’s election manifesto promises financial inclusion of the masses below poverty lines to raise their living standards Yet HRDs One exam policy is going to exclude talented students from poorer communities dreaming of engineering education as they cannot afford coaching schools.

If the HRD Minister cannot see this, and if IIT Senates other than IITK Senate cannot see it then we have to hope the Prime Minister of India an Ex teacher of economics at Delhi University can see this. We are creating a situation where engineering education is only for the rich thus creating one more caste system all over again.

IIT Faculty members are already complaining that the current crop of students are burnt out because of JEE Coaching schools. Yet they fall prey to a proposal that will feed even more burnt out students into IITs, students who would have attended multiple coaching schools to meet the format of the new "One exam policy now called JEE Main"  by seeking coaching for board exam subjects + JEE Main+ JEE Advanced.

Trying to normalise 40 odd different standards of High Schools nation wide based on some statistical analyses from Indian Institute of Science is so ill conceived it is not funny. Students are the children who will shape the nation and they are not mere numbers. They are people with dreams and aspirations and hope. No one has the right to destroy all their dreams based on some analytical mumbo jumbo, even if it comes from experts of Indian Statistical Society. 

HRD committees also lacked educationists and sociologists and psychologists to take into consideration the subjective aspects and effects of the proposal. The One exam policy is just as flawed if not worse than the Multiple choice format for JEE as it is now.

Technology is so advanced that students taking exams are using Spy cams and blue tooth technology to transmit the question paper to a third party outside the hall, as a video file, who inturn responds with correct answers. While this has not been reported from any exam halls where JEE was conducted, it leaves us wondering if some JEE Coaching schools have stooped to this level to get their students into IITs.
