new way of interpreting board exam passing percentages :D

[HIFI]

High percentages in exams doesn't mean a person or school is "real" good.

It's just one the the measures, but it's better than none at all. Schools and graduates tend to capitalize on this to get better oppurtunities.

It's not a guarantee to success, however it does improve the chances...or percentages of success.

During my time, the best ECE schools were UST, DLSU, and Mapua.

UP and AdMU ECE programs are relatively new.

Historically, several UP EE professors were against the ECE law back in the 70s. Their reason was that ECE should fall under the EE specialization program, and not a separate BS degree.

Time has change, and UP finally opened up an ECE program in the 90s.

If I were to choose an ECE school today, I go to a school declared by ChED as a "Center of Excellence".

Iyan ang mga naglalaban sa finals ng Inter-School ECE Quiz Contest,- including SLU of Baguio. Mayroon pa ba nito?

Oh yes. SLU was also a well-known school then. Supported by Texas Instruments. Malayo kasi, so hindi ko na mentioned.

BTW, if you really want to look at percentages, the November exams should be a better measure than the March/April exams.

Most of the fresh grads na hindi Octoberians take the November exams. Diyan din ang most number of examinees.

org po namin ang naghohold sa isa sa mga intercollegiate electrical and electronics engineering quiz show. sa mga finalist po, magaling po talaga ang SLU at USC.

ang isa pang gauge kung magaling ung ECE school ay pagtingin kung ano na ang na-icontribute nila sa research and development ng ECE sa pinas. sa National ECE conference, makikita mo ang galing ng mga students sa research ng iba't-ibang schools.


plugging lang po :D
kung hahanap po kayo ng school sa ECE, check nyo rin po ang laboratory facilities nila. sa UP po, we have different research laboratories. check nyo na lang po dito sa site namin ->

Duh... it's something most of us working in the University sector know already.

The smaller number of students you teach, the higher the quality you can maintain. UP has an artificial limit on some courses... a 90% passing rate isn't hard if you only have one section in the course graduating at any given time.

And of course, there's the part where UP's prestige ensures that they can get the cream of the crop of graduating students from across the country.

Also, a good way to artificially inflate board passing rates is to have a horribly restrictive "pruning" of students at some point. At the height of the PT craze, some schools whittled down students from 2000+ in second year down to about 300 in third year through "achievement" exams... good way to boost boards, definitely.

A prestigious school will take a first-class student and make them pass the board... but a good school can take a third-string student and make them pass the board. And therein lies the difference.

just want to share... kaya nga di ba kapag lumabas ang result ng boards usually per category depending on the number of students who took the board exam in a particular school... it only means that you cannot really compare a school with a higher number of students who took the exam with that of a school with a lower number of students who took the same exam... pero sabi nga ni otep, ang importante eh isa ka sa mga mapapalad na nakasama sa mga pumasa...

terrible disservice to mapuans. with that kind of logic, mag abogado na lang siya.

point well told.
