JEE/ NEET, THE WHOLE ENTRANCE FESTIVAL AND DUMMY SCHOOLS! Author - Gokul M Kumar Joint Entrance Exam and National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, both are ranked among the world's toughest exams. Every year an average of 13 lakh students attend NEET and 12 lakh students attend JEE. Like Ganeshotsav and Holi, these entrance exams became one of the festivals of India, not only because of the population involved in it but also because of the economics involved in it. Allen ( one of the top Entrance coaching institutes in India) says on their website that they had given prices worth 1.5 crores in the year 2019 alone. For drawing a clear picture of the entrance economy we could simply check Allen’s fees, for the first year itself it cost around 120000. The economy is so huge therefore a lot of educational products and services are offered in this segment alone. Even a tablet program offered by Akash Byju alone costs around 75000.

In reference to this fact let's shed some light on NEP 2020. Ie, National education policy 2020. It's the third Nep in India's history preceded by NEP 1964 by Indhira Gandhi, NEP 1984 by Rajeev Gandhi. The new NEP is considered the most revolutionary visionary policy to date. As per the plan the new NEP is expected to complete within 10 years. Our education system is widely criticized as a Clerical education system or mocked as Macaulayism, which only focuses on a monorail curriculum journey where both the pupils and teachers give sole importance to the text-based academics only. The central government realized this problem and initiated various counter-plans like the Atal tinkering lab to invoke adaptive learning practices in schools. But the extent of its effectiveness is still questionable. That's why the union government gave more importance to adaptive and vocational learning in the new NEP.
Adaptive Learning
Adaptive learning is the technique of providing personalized learning, which aims to provide effective and customized learning paths to engage every single student. Adaptive learning systems use a nonlinear—approach to instruction and remediation. They dynamically adjust to student interactions and performance levels, delivering the types of guidance in an appropriate sequence that individual learners need at specific points in time to make progress. These systems employ assessments, student feedback, mentor adjustments, and various media to deliver new learning material to students who have achieved mastery and remediation to those who have not. At first adaptive learning was solely focused on computer programs which helped to individually assess the student grasping power and his response towards the content provided. But later on, adaptive learning techniques were customized by a certain group of academicians who believed in a playful learning process rather than in edutainment methodology.
Adaptive Learning in Kerala
The Kerala education board had made some recent efforts to upscale the school curriculum like little Kites and kites. These all programs suffered because of the lack of a basic goal-driven pedagogy or proper backup. Adaptive learning in Kerala is still in its puberty. Both in govt aided schools and in Private Schools. The most recent development is Tinkering labs ( as same as Atl) funded by Samagra Shiksha Kerala.
