Dr Sanghi let me appreciate you for a very clearly written blog. I loved it, sincerely. Now though I stand in this war against you, I switched sides to your team for a few minutes after reading it. It was because I started believing what you strongly believe, which is the fact that if Board exams have 40% weightage then they should have 40% impact. After this you spoke about the example wherein at 88%ile the student ends up at 39000, though his rank in JEE Mains is 21000, and he wants just that lower rank, no matter what. Very nicely written. If I held the viewpoint that 40% impact is needed from an exam having a 40% weightage, you are absolutely correct, and I stand by you, and all members of the JIG and SK Joshi committee and Mr Kapil Sibal and whoever. However, the simple problem is this. Have you ever heard of a sport called the Decathlon? There are 10 different sports in it (with different units for ranking for nearly each sport - in seconds,metres etc.).
