Dear Ms.Khare

Your frustration is understandable but I also admire your keenness to ensure that your students too can compete with the best.

However using the IIM standards to benchmark your institution might be both unfair to your students and equally distressing for you since the standards are so vastly different. To begin with comparing a 60% student with a 90 % student itself is unfair since their caliber is different. Obviously the attitude and ability of the students in your college would very different from those going to IIM's.

Very few of your students will be having a competitive mind set so pushing them hard on the academics will be counter productive. On the other hand if you can focus on increasing their self belief, draw out their subtle talents and skill sets which may never have been appreciated earlier and help them discover their own potential you will observe a sudden positive change that comes from within them.

One of the better techniques is to make the learning immediately applicable to their daily life if possible. This reinforces the learning and motivates them to learn further. The back benchers and hyper active and mischievous students need to be given special attention by way of responsibilities and appreciation. This way you might be able to draw they attention to their own strengths and invoke their personal pride.

I would invite you to visit the following Inspirational and Motivational Blogs to have an idea of what I mean by saying that the learning should be made practical.

From an academic point of view, keeping in mind your standard of students, set question papers that are not too tough. Try and make the paper more student friendly ie give them more options, have a mix of theory and practicals so that it gives students a fair chance to score and alternatively gives them the confidence that they could attempt at least the theory part. Without seriously diluting the learning ensure that all topics in the syllabus is covered either in the periodic tests or the semester exams. Be fair in marking and if you have the time and inclination do try to meet each student and analyze the answer sheets. Feedback on their performance is the only way the student can realize his/ her mistakes and or problems. However giving feedback is both cumbersome and occasionally a thankless task so most teachers would not venture into it.

Best Wishes
