QUESTION HERE IS:
How can a candidate studied in a regional language till degree ( that is in the 8th schedule) understands a subject question that is in Hindi/English language? and comopete equally along with Hindi/English medium candidates?
You may say - "canditate is expected to have 10th class level english knowledge"
My Answer - Right. but, degree level terminolgy of a perticular subject (for example: physics) is different from 10th class level english knowledge. In other words, a regional medium candidate having 10th class level english knowledge can't understand his degree level subject terminolgy in Hindi/English.
What do you say? is it not creating a bottle neck at Prelims and Mains Level? Is it not language discrimination?
