There have been apprehensions regarding the students of Batch 2021, who have been stamped as the Covid-19 batch, that there will be all types of possible harassment and encroachments into the rights of these students, as for now as well as in future. The discrimination and competition dogmatised due to the vast and weighty reservation in different competitive examinations will now reach its zenith. After a full one and a half years' hard work, all went into the pit, only because of the pandemic. Most of the students who regard the cancellation as an appropriate decision, would even agree that at 12th, each and every student prepares for the final boards and not the mere school exams, and would also agree to the fact that there will be, to every extent, a possibility of an unjust and unfair evaluation of marks, not because of the wrong procedure prescribed by the Board, but due to its malicious implementation in different schools. Examples could be cited from England, where there were proven indulgences in unfair means and that children of influential parents got more marks than what they actually deserved. However this is not only a single problem that these students are facing today. Even after such discrimination, while the students expected the admission procedure to the colleges to be fair and just, most of the colleges still align themselves to the traditional method of admission through merit list and not through entrance exams.
Even the Competitive exams like Clat, AILET, NEET, JEE, etc etc which are ought to be conducted by the end of July, seems unjust, because many students who left hopes from the boards, now wanted to prepare for these competitive exams and that these are not that easy to be prepared in a month or two. So for them, there is less time, thus no opportunity or hope in this regard as well. Amid such mental and academic loss, even schools give no peace to the students and keep on demanding for illegal fees, instead of returning the cut 20% to the parents, knowing that the pandemic had caused much financial and mental loss to the parents as well. However, there's yet no such way to compensate for such losses to the students of this batch, and it's for sure that they'll be suffering through this almost throughout their careers, because the base of education, if not for the whole country, but for this batch has already broken. There are some necessary reforms yet to be done in the system to revive justice for the students of Batch 2021, such that besides being stamped and tagged, they are also provided with basic means of hope to regain their careers back into action. There has been a loss, a great one to this batch, rather to this generation, but everything depends on one question. Is it irreparable? Or are there chances of repairing and compensating? This question is left to the hands of the authority, who make and break these careers.
