After chaos at IIT-JEE, relief for students at AIEEE

Mumbai: After the recent IIT-JEE chaos, engineering aspirants across the state were relieved after appearing for the All India Engineering/Architecture Entrance Examination (AIEEE) held on Sunday. The exam, which is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) board, is for securing admissions to BE/Btech and BArch/Bplanning in various institutes.
Majority of the 12 lakh students, who attempted the entrance test, found it difficult but were of the opinion that the test was better than the IIT-JEE. “The test was definitely easier than the IIT-JEE even though it was lengthy. There were no baffling mistakes in AIEEE. The paper was for 432 marks and it went off smoothly without any hiccups,” said Pravin Tyagi, MD, IITian Pace.
However, since the test is based on the NCERT prescribed CBSE syllabus, most students from the state board had a tough time. “I found it difficult and don’t have much hopes of scoring well in the test. I hope my CET score gets me a seat in one of the city’s engineering colleges,” said Monil Shah, a student from Vile Parle, who appeared at the DAV Public School, Nerul.
The results of AIEEE are likely to be declared on, or before June 7. There are over 150 engineering colleges in India that admit students on the basis of AIEEE scores. Apart from the National Institute of Technology (NIT), every engineering college admits nine students under the all-India quota through the AIEEE score.
