Answer 1

In general terms, there are numerous advantages to the semester system in an educational setting.

Answer 2

JAIPUR: Rajasthan University's initiative of

starting the 'semester system' for PG

departments has failed to deliver desired

results as the system has completed a year.

The ineffectiveness of the system can be

attributed to improper management of time

and staff crunch.

Under the system, student attrition rates shot

up as high as 15% and many left the session in

between. Students are struggling with

problems like incomplete course as the faculty

crunch is nearly 50%.

For Instance, in the department of sociology

nearly 35% students failed to appear in first

semester exam. Explaining the problem, Rajiv

Gupta, head of department, Sociology, said, "No

doubt, the system will prove to be successful in

the long run but in its maiden year students

and teachers have failed to warm up to it."

RU has a total of 900 sanctioned posts of

teachers as against the actual strength of 380.

Teachers called it the biggest bottleneck in the

way of the system's success.

Semester system offers benefits such as more focused learning in shorter periods, allowing for better retention of information and reduced stress for students. It also provides opportunities for in-depth exploration of subjects due to longer class durations and regular assessments, fostering a more structured and organized approach to education.
