Plan for common counselling for IITs and NITs

With seats in certain national level institutes remaining vacant due to multiple counselling, the IITs and NITs could start common counselling, a move that would smoothen the admission process and reduce hardship of students.

At present, the IITs admit students by conducting their own counselling while the NITs, which are institutions of national importance, take students from the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) merit list.

As the IIT-JEE counselling and AIEEE counselling are held separately, students block seats in more than one institute and finally take admission in the institute of their choice. This results in vacancy of seats in some of the institutes.

"There is a plan to have common counselling of IIT-JEE and AIEEE. But this may not happen before 2011," an IIT director said. The IIT directors discussed the issue with HRD Minister Kapil Sibal last month.

In case of separate counselling, the students have to go to different centres to attend the counselling and select the institute of their choice.

The IIMs are also planning to have a common counselling for admission. At present, each IIM is holding its own counselling to take students from the CAT merit list. The IIM directors have discussed the issue with Sibal also.

An IIT director said the IITs have their own JEE committee which is studying the reforms to be brought in. The NIT Council, the apex body to take decision on matters of NITs, has also set up a committee to revisit the AIEEE and suggest any change required.

"A decision on common counselling issue will be taken after both the IIT and NIT committees submit their reports on reforms in the entrance examination," he said.

The proposed system will be of immense help as it will smoothen the process of admission. Students will be able to chose their institute from the common counselling session and take admission there.

About 10 lakh students appear for AIEEE every year while about four lakh sit for IIT-JEE.

About 2.5 lakh students are appearing for CAT.

Maths toughest in IIT-JEE-2010

There were no surprises in the pattern of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) held at different centres across the country today for admission to the IITs and other prestigious institutes. The pattern of the Paper 1 held in the forenoon was different from the pattern of Paper 2 held in the afternoon. The Paper 2 was considered more difficult than Paper 1 by students who attended the test, according to T.I.M.E., a leading coaching institute.

Nearly 4.7 lakh students today appeared in the IIT-Joint Entrance Examination for admission to prestigious 15 IITs, ISM Dhanbad and IT-BHU.

There were 10 versions for IIT-JEE 2010 and the total mark combining both the papers was 489 - 252 mark in Paper1 and 237 mark in Paper2.

Paper 1 had 84 questions in total - in the order of Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Each subejct had 28 questions and the pattern was exactly the same for all the subjects. All questions carried 3 marks.

In the Paper 1 Chemistry was said to be easier than the other subjects. The integer type questions in Mathematics were reported as tough by several students.

There are 57 questions in total in Paper 2 in the order of Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics again. Each subject had 19 questions for 79 marks.

For the first time, the logarithms and anti-logarithms were given in two pages of the JEE paper. Earlier, the logarithmic values were given along with a particular questions, if it is relevant.

In general, Mathematics was the toughest among the subjects, according to Ajay Antony, Course Director of T.I.M.E for IIT-JEE.

Meanwhile the IITs have decided to conduct on-line counselling for general category students this year. This will give relief to students who earlier used to go to different counselling centres for securing a seat for themselves.

However, the OBC candidates will have to go to the exam centres for counselling where their certificates will be examined.

IIT-JEE candidates to get performance cards

Students appearing in the next Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admission to IITs will get performance cards specifying marks and the ranks secured
by them in the test.

For the first time, the JEE Board would issue such performance cards which can be considered as certificates by many other institutions wanting to give admission to JEE candidates.

The board will also put out the answers of the questions on its website to help students make assessment of their performance.

The Prime Minister's Office had sought a reply on the issue from the HRD Ministry which said a decision for issuing such score cards has been taken by the Joint Admission Board
(JAB) for IITs in its meeting on August 23.

"It has been stated by the Chairman JEE-2009 that at the meeting of JAB on August 23, it was decided to issue score cards to every student appearing in JEE and to provide marks
to them a week after the results are declared," the letter said.

IIT Guwahati Director Prof Gautam Baruah said JAB has urged for issuing such performance cards which will serve as certificates for the students.

"Many other institutes, which want to take JEE candidates, can give admission to students on the basis of these performance cards," Baruah said.

At present, the IITs are not issuing any score cards to students. Certain institutes, which are giving admission to JEE candidates, have to get authenticated data from the JEE Board on the list of students and marks secured by them.

The performance cards will be issued two weeks after the results are declared. But the marks of the students can be put out in the website just a week after the results are declared, he said.

The next JAB meeting in April 2010 will give the final approval to the move, he said.

The IITs for the first time will put out the answers of the question on the website.

"This will help students know how they have performed in the examination. The answers will be put in the JEE website two weeks after the exam," Baruah said.

Meanwhile, the JEE Board has decided to hold the next JEE on April 11, 2010. Students can apply for the entrance test till the last week of December. About four lakh students had appeared in the test last year for nearly 8,200 seats in 15 IITs, IT-BHU and ISM Dhanbad.

Govt sets up panel to improve IIT-JEE

The government today set up a committee to suggest reforms in the IIT entrance examination but did not take any decision on the proposed fee hike in the elite institutes. At a brainstorming session on IITs, chaired by Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal, a committee was set up under IIT Kharagpur Director Prof Damodar Acharya to study the existing JEE structure and suggest improvement in it.

The committee will submit its report in three months, a Human Resource Development Ministry official said. It is expected to suggest on how to consider the Class XII marks of students while preparing the cut-off for the admission into these 15 elite institutes.

At present, the IITs are taking students on the basis of cut-off prepared in view of the marks scored by students in IIT Joint Entrance Examination. Consideration of Class XII marks in the cut-off would ensure that meritorious students get into the IIT stream.

The meeting, attended by the IIT directors and chairmen, however, did not take any decision on the proposal to increase the tuition fee of students to make the institutes self-sufficient.

Sibal suggested that as the government is planning to set up a Higher Education Funding Corporation, which would provide assistance to poor students, the proposal on fee hike would be discussed after the corporation is set up.

IIT Kanpur had prepared a detailed proposal on hiking the tuition fee. At present, BTech students are paying Rs 50,000 per year as fee. The proposal suggested increasing the fee to Rs four lakh per annum over a period of ten years.

At the last meeting of IIT Council, the apex body to decide on IIT matters, discussions were held on giving more weightage to marks obtained in school-leaving examinations while selecting students.

At today's meeting, Sibal asked the IITs to indicate in four weeks about the specialised area they want to focus on to emerge as global giants in that area by 2020, the official said.

The new IITs will consider their roadmaps in two months time. The IITs will give the roadmap on how to attract world-class faculty from within and outside the country to meet the faculty shortage. The IITs are suffering from about 30 per cent faculty shortage.

The institutes will also suggest how to expand their infrastructure incrementally. A committee under Prof Anand Krishnan was set up to study this issue and give recommendations.

Suggestions were also made to have a structured credit transfer system in the IITs to enable students of IITs to migrate to other institutes.

Sibal asked the IITs to explore setting up a secretariat of IITs for their marketing.

The government also set up a separate committee under IIT Guwahati Director Prof Gautam Baruah to suggest improvement in the governance in the IITs, the official said.

This committee will study the relationship of IITs with the government and suggest how to have better correlation.

Sibal asked the IITs how they could increase their linkages to school children and with technical institutions and universities.

IIT-JEE : Counselling online this time

About 4.72 lakh students across the country will appear for the IIT-JEE 2010 being held on Sunday, 11th April for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology and other prestigious institutes. Prof T S Natarajan, Organising Chairman, JEE 2010, told PTI that an average of 60,000-80,000 students were expected to appear in seven IIT zones in the country for 10,000 seats in 15 IITs, IT-BHU and ISM, Dhanbad. Counselling for General Category students will be held online this year, giving candidates and authorities relief from crowded campuses during admission.

For others like OBCs, the counselling will be held in the campuses to verify certificates and veracity of claims (regarding reservation benefits), he said. "There will be two question papers, each of three hours duration (9am-12 noon and 2-5 pm). Both the question papers will consist of three separate sections on Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics," he said.

There could be slight variations every year in the question pattern and "one cannot predict" on it, Prof Natarajan added. Besides the present overseas Centre in Dubai, efforts to establish a similar one in Singapore "had not fructified so far since it requires a lot of spadework", he said.

JEE : Result on 23rd, IIT admission from 24th

The Results of JEE (Advanced)-2013 based on which admissions to IITs are made will be announced on Sunday, 23rd June, 2013. Successful candidates need to log in and give their choices for courses offered by the sixteen IITs and ISM, Dhanbad, from 24th June till 30th June, 2013. The first list of seat allocation will be announced online by 4th July, 2013.

Those desirous of joining the B.Arch programme (available at IIT Roorkee and IIT Kharagpur) will have to qualify an Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT). This test will be held at IIT Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee from 9.00 A.M to 12.00 Noon on Friday, 28th June, 2013. In order to appear in this test, the student has to register online for AAT between 24th and 25th June, 2013 at the JEE(Advanced) portal.

JEE (Advanced)-2013, for admissions to undergraduate programmes at all IITs and ISM, Dhanbad, was held on Sunday, 2nd June, 2013. The answer key for both Paper-1 and Paper-2 of this exam will be displayed at the JEE (Advanced) websites of zonal IITs on 11th June, 2013.

The student can view his/her answer sheet and marks obtained between 14th and 17th June, 2013 at the same website. There will also be a provision for the student to request for review of specific questions and its marks. The student will have to pay a fees of Rs.500 for each question to be reviewed.

Give more weightage to Class 12 marks, Sibal tells IITs

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) should give more weightage to the Class 12 examination marks for admission to the undergraduate courses, union Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal said on Monday.

Sibal stressed that the IIT admission procedures "should give more weightage to Class 12 exam marks" as well as consider raising the existing 60 percent cut-off percentage for students to appear in the IIT-Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).

The minister made the comments while chairing a meeting of the IIT Council here.

Sibal proposed a new system under which only high-scoring Class 12 students will be allowed to sit for the entrance exams to professional courses and the cut-off percentage for being eligible to write these exams would be 80-85 percent instead of the current 60 percent.

IIT Delhi professor M. Balakrishnan told sources: "This proposal has been mooted for almost a year now. There is talk in the ministry and among IITs to take such a decision soon."

At the IIT Council meeting, the minister said he also wanted to get rid of professional coaching for medical and engineering exams.

"All proposed changes would be implemented by 2011," a senior ministry official said.

However, coaching centres like Career Launcher, which trains students to face the competitive exam, said that doing away with the coaching centres or increasing weightage for the Class 12 exam marks was not the real solution.

"The coaching centres will not be affected if the entrance exams focus on Class 12 marks. Because we as an industry cater to what inputs are required, so we would train for the IIT-JEE and the board exams. Coaching centres exist because of the existing lacuna at schools. The thrust should be on raising the standard of board exams and to focus on application rather than rote learning," Gautam Puri, vice-chairman of Career Launcher, told sources.

Sibal has also asked for setting up a five-member committee to make the IITs more competitive. Another committee has been constituted to look into the IIT curriculum.

JEE Advanced : Result Published

The Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) result for the admission into Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) was declared on today, two days before of schedule. Only the top 1,50,000 students in JEE(Main) were allowed to sit for the JEE (Advanced) exam, which was held on June 2, 2013 (through offline).

The JEE (Advanced)-2013 examination included two objective type papers. Each paper consisted of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Admissions to IITs will be based only on category wise All India Rank (AIR) in JEE (Advanced) subject to the condition that such candidates are in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates of their Boards in applicable categories.

IIT-JEE result on may 26

The Supreme Court Tuesday rejected a petition seeking to restrain the government from declaring the result of the IIT Joint Entrance Examination 2010 on Wednesday.

The court dismissed the public interest litigation (PIL), calling it a stunt and a publicity venture.

The vacation bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justice G.S. Singhvi and comprising Justice C.K. Prasad said: "The petitioner had neither the locus (standi) nor is there any justification for allowing him to intermeddle in the matter."

Petitioner Chetan Upadhyaya, who claims to be a journalist, is secretary of Satya Foundation. He sought to restrain the Human Resource Development Ministry from declaring the result on Wednesday.

Justice Singhvi said that "no court can play with the career of young students who are aspiring to join engineering and other courses in IITs".

The court repeated that the petitioner had "no locus (standi) or prima facie case for the grant of stay of the declaration of the result".

The court wondered if the petitioner realized the kind and magnitude of harm the students would suffer if the result was stayed.

Justice Singhvi asked: "What will happen if (as a consequence) some students commit suicide?"

The court said normally it would have dismissed the petition with exemplary cost running into five figures. But since the petitioner was a young man and apparently misguided, he was being let off lightly.

However, the court said that if the petitioner was again found indulging in such publicity centric petitions, he would attract huge costs.

The court also told counsel for the petitioner to be more "circumspect and discreet" in filing such petitions in the disposal of which substantial time of the court is spent.

The bench said that it was accountable to the people and every second the Supreme Court spends involves costs.

The petition said the instruction manual issued to examinees along with the question paper differed for the students who took the exam in English medium and those who took the exam in Hindi medium.

Section 4 of Paper II of JEE had 48 marks for those who appeared in English and just 18 for those who took it in Hindi. Thus the difference in the aggregate marks of both the medium was 30 marks.
