30,000 degree students of Vinoba Bhave University (VBU) would be using computerized answer sheets at their degree Part III examination

For the first time, nearly 30,000 degree students of Vinoba Bhave University (VBU) would be using computerized answer sheets at their degree Part III examination commencing from Tuesday.



Although college authorities fear that the students from rural background may not be able to fill the required information on the computerized first page of the answer books, the university has made elaborate arrangement to ensure that everything passes off peacefully.



The university has distributed dummy copies of the first page of the computerized answer sheet along with admit card to the students well in advance to avoid any last-minute trouble at the examination hall.

Vice-chancellor R N Bhagat said teachers of all the colleges have been directed to guide students in filling up the computerized sheet. "Since for the first time such answer sheets are being used, examinees would be given additional 15 minutes to fill it correctly," he added.



Computerized answer sheets are regularly used for different competitive examinations where no one is present to guide the students. Using computerized sheet at university exam would also help students prepare for the competitive tests in a better fashion, he added.



According to Bhagat, the computerized answer sheet has more safety measures than earlier answer sheets. "Now, answer books would be sent to examiners only after coding and result would be published after decoding them," he added.



This would also help in completing the tabulation work in less time as compared to earlier methods and publish the results speedily, says an expert. The VC said the university is determined to regularize the delayed session of the university and is trying its best to adhere to the academic calendar circulated earlier.

The Chennai region has topped the rest of the country in pass percentage with 91.32% in the Central Board of Secondary Education's CBSE class 12 board exams this year 2011

Releasing the Class XII results on Monday, CBSE said 91.32% of students who took the exam in the region had passed, well above the national average of 81.71%.



The region, which scored over the national average on almost all parameters, however, saw a dip when compared to the performance in 2010. The pass percentage saw a dip from last year as did the individual pass percentages of boys and girls.



CBSE does not release the list of top rankers nor the top marks. In Chennai, at least five students notched aggregate scores of 487 and above. Among the high scorers were S Divya of Modern Senior Secondary School in Nanganallur with 98.4% and K A Sumana of PS Senior Secondary School in Mylapore with 98.2%.



School heads said that while there didn't seem to be much change in the number of centums in maths from last year, the number of centums in physics had gone down. Students had said earlier that physics exam was tough.



While there has been a 1.84% increase in the overall pass percentage as compared to last year, there has been a 0.85% decrease in the pass rate in the Chennai region from last year's 92.17%. Only 89.79% of boys who took the exam this year cleared it against 90.5% last year. Among girls, this year's pass percentage was 0.56% lower than last year's 93.77%. This is still higher than the nationwide pass percentage — 77.83% for boys and 86.93% for girls.



The regional average seems to have dipped because of the poor show by private candidates, of whom a mere 43.16% passed. Last year, the average was 45.4%.



In all other categories, the regional figures were better than the national average. The pass percentage of students in Kendriya Vidyalayas and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in the region is higher than national average, with 94.73% of KV students and 98.32% of JNV students successful.



Among those in independent schools (92.51%) too, the pass percentage was higher than the national average of 81.63%.



The pass percentage has been fluctuating in the last five years. The Chennai region recorded a 16-year high in the All-India Senior Secondary Certificate Examination in 2010. In 1995, when the success rate was nearly as high only 19,479 students appeared for the exam.



The number of students in the region increased by 9% this year, while there was a nearly 10% increase in the overall number of candidates across the country. As many as 7,70,043 students appeared for the exam in eight regions, including Chennai that covers Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Goa, Puducherry, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Daman and Diu. Some 62,587 students, including those from 970 schools, took the exam in 430 centres in the region.



There has been a steady increase in the number of students taking the exams each year — from 34,550 in 2006 to 62,587 in 2011 — an 81.15% increase in six years.



Senior principal of Bhavan's Rajaji Vidyashram Ajeeth Prasath Jain said, "This could be because the CBSE syllabus is the base for all-India entrance tests like the AIEEE and AIPMT, which are taken into consideration for admission to the National Institutes of Technology. Deemed universities have also allotted a certain percentage of seats for students clearing these tests." Another reason could be that parents were becoming more aware of the educational and exam reforms introduced by the board over the years.

Sachin Tendulkar's finest and unforgettable memories,celebrations,innings, shot, catch and spell of the 2011 World Cup

Sachin Tendulkar talks about his finest memories of the 2011 World Cup where he finally fulfilled his lifetime dream of lifting the coveted trophy.



Unforgettable  dressing room moment:

The moment the winning runs were scored, I jumped. Viru (Sehwag) who was next to me, jumped too. We were sitting in the dressing room and praying.



Unforgettable part of the celebrations:

When we got the trophy in our hands and the popping of champagne. Also, when the team lifted me with the tri-colour in my hand. That was the ultimate feeling.



Unforgettable innings that you played:

I was batting really well against South Africa, but in terms of importance, it's got to be the one against Pakistan.



Unforgettable innings from your teammates:

There were many! The one Viru played in the first game against Bangladesh, Yuvraj Singh played many, Suresh Raina, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli... all the guys chipped in.



Unforgettable bowling spell:

Zaheer Khan bowled some very important spells. In the semi-final, Ashish Nehra bowled well. Munaf got some important wickets too. Harbhajan Singh and R Ashwin bowled well too. Everyone has chipped in. That is why I call it a thorough team performance. Everyone did their job and somewhere they made an impact.



Unforgettable captaincy move:

We set a 6-3 field against Pakistan at Mohali. Their opening batsman, Mohammad Hafeez tried to play a sweep shot off Munaf Patel and got caught behind. I thought that was the turning point of the match.



Unforgettable catch:

The one Viru caught off Shahid Afridi. The match was very much alive then because Misbah & Afridi were batting and we needed two-three big overs at that stage, so that was an important catch. An easy one, but important.



Unforgettable tense moment:

There were many moments when we were really tense especially in the last three matches....we knew there would be no second chance. There were many moments like that.

Most memorable moments of Cricket World Cup 2011

The whole cricketing world knew about his dream of lifting a cup. He even featured in an advertisement talking about his thirst for the cup. There was a fear in some that Tendulkar might be under too much pressure with all this talk going around. As it turned out, it proved an inspirational mantra for the team; win it for Tendulkar. They did it, and right in the end, they carried him on their shoulders and went on a victory lap around the Wankhede. It was almost a cathartic moment for the previous generation for whom the fate of matches would be decided with the fall of Tendulkar. Kohli summed it up the best: "Tendulkar has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years; it was time we carried him."



Completing a non-violent century



All along, and even ahead of the tournament, Mahela Jayawardene was talking about the itch to perform on the big stage. He had a relatively quiet tournament until he waltzed into the World Cup hall of fame in the final with a soul-stirring century that will rank with the very best. With Kumar Sangakkara's exit, Sri Lanka were teetering but Jayawardene took over in some style. There was no violence in a knock filled with sublime strokes as the touch artiste showcased his art on the biggest stage. Only, at the cusp of his hundred did he play a powerful shot; he backed outside leg and smashed Zaheer Khan over mid-off to bring up his hundred. He skipped down the track in joy, pumped his fist, raised his bat towards the dressing room and then his eyes searched for his wife in the crowd.



Au revoir pace king and spin wizard



Shoaib Akthar didn't quite get a farewell game but his last big imprint on the world stage was a tribute to the journey from an all-out fast man to a bowler with brains. He slipped in a wonderful offcutter to breach the defences of Jayawardene to set Pakistan on course to a satisfying win.



Muttiah Muralitharan didn't sparkle in the final, but on the final delivery in his last game at home soil on almost one leg, he provided a final moment of wonder. He ripped an offbreak to trap Scott Styris in front to trigger a collapse. At the end of it all, he walked off the field, holding his cap in the air and sporting that famous smile that the world has come to know and love.



The sledge and the choke



The sledge came from Daniel Vettori, never known for his sledging. Faf du Plessis was just involved in running out AB de Villiers in the quarter-final and Vettori swooped in on the crime scene. He let du Plessis know the magnitude of the run-out and watched, without interfering, his 12th man Kyle Mills rip into the batsman. It was a stunning moment, precisely, and only because it featured Vettori. It wasn't just a mindless sledge but a mental disintegration tactic from a normally quiet man who knew the moment was ripe for the famous choke. And it was. South Africa slipped into a free-fall to a bottomless pit of despair.



Yuvraj's war cry



Yuvraj was the first of the brash youth from the new India that entered the sombre Indian cricketing scene a decade back. However, he threatened to self-destruct numerous times making people sigh and wonder whether he would ever utilise his bundle of talent. His moment of the World Cup came after he had shepherded India through the quarter-final chase against Australia; he went down on his knee, swung his bat like a sword and let out a scream. It wasn't quite redemption, for he has been a stellar performer in ODIs for a while now, but it felt like a coming-of-age moment. The boy who refused to grow up had finally become a man.



The awe-inspiring moment



It came from Ricky Ponting. Castigated for his Ashes losses, criticised for running a leaking ship, tormented by his own lack of form, he was almost stumbling into an abyss when he faced up to the Indians in the quarter-final. It wasn't a flamboyant knock but it had grit, bloody-mindedness and a sense of occasion. The hundred came with a quiet tuck to the leg side and there was no overflow of emotions; he raised his bat, didn't even remove his helmet and barely smiled. The job was yet to be done, not only in that game, but also in the future to revive Australian cricket.



Pakistan rally around Shahid Afridi's roar



Surprisingly, not many experts rated Pakistan as top contenders and while their victory to end Australia's World Cup-winning streak would be savoured, it was their win against Sri Lanka earlier in the tournament which really brought them under the arc lights. Shahid Afridi completed his transformation from a marauding hitter to an intelligent bowler in this game. He ripped a lovely loopy legbreak that dipped rapidly on Thilan Samaraweera, who was sucked out of his crease and was stumped. Afridi roared his signature celebration - the forefinger points to the sky before the two arms spread out and the chest pumps out as he waits for his team-mates to envelop him with a hug. No one took them lightly after that win.



The entertaining cameo



It was from England, who proved the most entertaining team of the tournament, providing several thrilling moments. In many ways, Jimmy Anderson captured the image of England in this World Cup. Often he was awful but there were moments of magic that kept him, and England alive, in the tournament. In the game against South Africa who were chasing 171, he knocked out JP Duminy's off stump with a ripper; it swung, it straightened, it was unplayable and it took out the off stump. With Duminy's exit, South Africa sank.



The comedy of errors



Who else but Kamran Akmal to provide it for us. He dropped the New Zealand batsmen, especially Ross Taylor, so many times that it made him a cult hero/villain. It led to numerous Kamran jokes and one of the gems was this: "What's Kamran's pick-up line? Can I drop you somewhere?!"



The brutal wake-up shot for a cliquey sport



The Associates were being hounded out by the ICC and captains of established nations weren't sympathetic to their cause when Kevin O'Brien played a soul-stirring knock to shock and awe the cricketing public. He had just reached a 30-ball fifty and just when perhaps England might have hoped that it would be just a good, but meaningless, cameo, Kevin played the finest shot of his astonishing innings. He savaged a delivery from Tim Bresnan and sent it screaming over the extra-cover boundary for a breathtaking six. That shot announced his ambition. He wasn't just going to be satisfied with a half-century; he was gunning for a hundred and a victory. And he achieved both.



The innocent, and emphatic, shot



It was a 148.5 kph slinging thunderbolt from Shaun Tait, short in length and outside off stump. Facing it was a Canadian teenager Hiral Patel. It demanded respect but got a resounding slap. Hiral shifted his weight back, lifted his front leg in the air and walloped it over extra cover for a thrilling six. "He was savage on us," Ricky Ponting said later. It was a shot of intent from a boy of an Associate team that might do wonders for Canadian cricket. Much like CK Nayudu's sixes against Arthur Gilligan's XI on MCC's first official tour of India in 1926 did to increase the popularity of cricket in India.



The anger of the emotional crowd



The sub-continental populace, barring Sri Lanka to an extent, can be a very emotional lot. India and Pakistan cricketers have had their houses stoned by angry mobs in the past and it was now the turn of the Bangladeshi people to go on over-boil. Their team was battered by West Indies and they couldn't take it. Their anger stirred a small unruly mob who stoned the team buses. Chris Gayle tweeted in anger, the Caribbean region reacted in dismay, the cricketing world was shocked and the majority of Bangladesh was embarrassed. A nation was let down by a small number of miscreants but a sizeable number landed up at the airport next day with placards of apologies.



The crowning glory



MS Dhoni had a poor average of 22.38 from 11 World Cup games before the final. However, in a pressure-cooker situation, with the game hanging in balance after the exit of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Virat Kohli, he pushed himself ahead of the in-form Yuvraj Singh and seized the moment. The shot of Dhoni's innings was a wicked upper-cut six over point off Thisara Perera but it is his second six, the winning hit, that will be played for eternity on television channels and in the minds of the Indian fans - particularly the stylish post-six twirl of the bat. Later, he said, "If we hadn't won I would have been asked quite a few questions: Why no Ashwin, why Sreesanth, why no Yuvraj at No. 4, why did I bat ahead? That pushed me and motivated me to do well."

India 'given wrong trophy': The International Cricket Council has been accused of giving the wrong World Cup cricket trophy to India after their dramatic win over Sri Lanka in the final in Mumbai

The whole cricket-mad country was yesterday seized by the growing controversy as it was revealed that there was more than one trophy and that India was presented with a different one from that given to previous World Cup winners. While the final was being played, that original trophy was locked in a customs warehouse in Mumbai as £30,000 of duty had not been paid by the ICC for its release.

The victorious team with the 'replica' trophy. The 'authentic' cup, left, was apparently held by Indian customs because the ICC refused to pay £30,000 duty to secure its release Photo: GETTY

Cricketing officials say that the Indian team was presented with a lookalike on Saturday night at the Wankhade Stadium. The ICC maintains that the trophy presented carried "the specific event logo of ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 and has always been the cup that the 14 teams were playing for".

The one impounded in customs, the ICC said, was the "perpetual trophy" used for promotional purposes which is housed permanently at the council's Dubai headquarters. "It carries the generic ICC corporate logo rather than the logo specific to the 2011 event. That [perpetual] trophy will be reclaimed ... and will travel back to Dubai with ICC staff as was always intended."

But cricketers and commentators disagreed, saying that under established custom the "perpetual trophy" was awarded to the victorious team after the final, albeit for a brief period. Thereafter, it was replaced by a replica with the ICC logo and the year it was secured. "Because the ICC declined to pay the customs duty for the cup despite earning such massive amounts from the tournament, the Indian team was deprived of being presented the real trophy," a senior cricket commentator said, who declined to be named.

Officials said the ICC refused to pay the duty on the grounds that the trophy would later be re-exported while Indian Customs said the tariff was mandatory as it was entering the country even for a short period.
