The intellectuals in Nagaland must be exercising their utmost caliber to find fault with the government just like NGO’s such as ACAUT, NSF, Naga Hoho, NMA etc to dig out the truth in the society. Such positive criticism never under mind in the society when the population of Nagas search for any kind of solution to the multifarious problematic society in this turmoil stage. These are the provoking actions to the Government for a better society. In no where the Nagas as a whole are the enemies to each other. All are contributing for a better Naga society. When NSEE_II result is published in the media, the mind set of society is perplexed and compared as technical & professional study manipulation if it is happened is same to that of backdoor appointments by the authorities of the government. The impact of professional studies is worse because the power of society lay on those professionals after their completion of their studies. Let us be fair enough to analyze the NSEE-II result in selecting the MBBS and BDS aspiring candidates:
1. As per the notification in the media, the result of the NSEE-II is tentatively to be available in the website on 9th July (Saturday) 2016. It is not so, and the result of the same is known to elite group of society on Sunday through off-line. The official NSEE-II selection list is published in the media and website on 15th July 2016. What is the technical difficulty of knowing the NSEE-II result for public knowledge instead of off-line result. Why leak out to few privileged class? The online and offline differentiation in the computer age is now clearly known to the Nagas who have computer knowledge.
2. Speculation also sometimes comes true in Nagaland situation. The force behind the screen might be a multifaceted one and the controlling authority might have a tough time to drag the whole system based on the universal truth. Slight mistake can be refered back to the beginning stage of Hard disk copy analyses of its originality in the highly technological computer centre in the country.
3. Borderline candidates in MBBS and BDS selection list are sometimes marginalized just because of the uncertain situation in ascertaining the central allotment of MBBS and BDS seats. When politicians and bureaucrats pouch their heavy weight in selection list, the borderline candidates are sometime discriminated but it never effects the toppers in the result list. That advantage of politicians and bureaucrats exploring the situation is right and no one have a say on that. Because, the controlling authorities are also human beings and fall-short of perfectness.
4. In the past years, the student community has dug –out several anomalies in the technical study results and remedial measures were taken at the right time. A glaring example is the die-hard Ao lady who fought her rights on the basis of tooth and nail which shook the government and she retained her seat and pursued with her further studies based on truth.
5. In the past years because of the shortage of qualified Naga candidates for various lines of technical studies, non- Naga candidates were accommodated in Nagaland state quotas. This is our state’s loss and in particular the student community who are the backbone of our society in the near future. Nagas who are pursuing various technical lines witnessed such anomalies and they are in utter surprise to experience the half truth of Naga elders mentality.
6. The words dubbing, tempering, manipulating and maneuvering the situation etc. are not new words in the Naga society. Each and every intellectual person can give proper and befitting justification of our stand points without base on the truth. But the truth shall reveals sooner or later. The state quota of MBBS seats in the past year sometime reached up to 49 seats. With intervention of Supreme court decision there is no more entrance examinations conducted by the respective Medical college for admission. As such the MBBS seats for Nagaland state should be increased to some extent. When the central policy of ‘LOOK EAST POLICY’ to ‘ACT EAST POLICY” is in its full implementation stage, Nagaland state should not be deprived of this previledges. All the qualified candidates who have crossed the cut off 288 marks must be accommodated in MBBS seats. The rest backward tribe quotas as when necessary can be adjusted as per the direction of the administrative notification as mentioned in category wise and other directive principles.
7. In the past there was a clash policy between the Technical Education department and other NGO bodies in allotting the higher and professional studies. As such a good number of already admitted candidates were withdrawn back due to non-payment of institutional required fees. This is nothing but a policy paralyses and conflicting plans between the two bodies trying to overtake each other and ultimately the student’s community become the victim of the policy paralyses. By now the Technical department must be aware of the problem and have clear picture to accommodate the aspiring candidates if qualifying cut-off marks is fulfilled. The state Government of Nagaland should have clarity in their mind the seat allotment of MBBS & BDS instead of playing blame game and take advantage of the situations in their favor for playing favoritism and nepotism.
In the computer stage of life of Global society nothing can be hidden to solve the problem when we refer back to the original Hard Disk copy and analyses in the super computer machenism available in some institution or place. To wipe out all type of corruptions the RTI, FIR,etc are very much available in our democratic country. Above all the student community has got a supportive back of Naga unique culture and tradition of solving the problem and to ascertain the truth. There is no worriness in our mind. Be bold enough to face the reality of the situation and firmly relay on the truth. Let the welfare of the Naga student community be the final law of this land so as to maintain the equality of life without creating previledge or unpreviledge classes in our day to day dealings.
8. The ENCSU is rightly questioned the justice of the selection board by way of retaining the back-ward quota of 45% which is equal to 7 MBBS seats. The selection Board is also rightly enterpreted the selection of MBBS seats for the backward tribes by slashing the 3 three backward tribes based on their merit list. But the bond of contention is the merit list of asprirants candidates is broken after accommodating three BT candidates and restart again the merit list to accomodate the advanced tribes such as Angami and lotha candidates. It seems the four MBBS seat which are rightly reserved for BT is somehow given to them as there is no BT qualifiying candidates who crossed 288 cut-off marks. The three candidates are already adjusted. The remaining 4 four seats is rightfully adjusted to the general merit candidates. Who knows after the sending out to respective Medical Colleges the four general merit candidates may forwarded under BT tags for admission. If it is not done so the board has justification. The best is keeping in mind the eligible BT qualifying candidates under the 7 MBBS seats(BT quota) and if necessary push down the merit list for more adjustment and let the merit list is not distorted in its publication of NSEE-II result 2016.
