IIT JEE may end

IIT JEE may end

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) has been in the news ever since the exam got over on April 11, for the errors that occurred this year. However, in a move that may spell the end of the Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE), a committee comprising of directors of all IITs is planning a single national-level entrance examination for Engineering in India.
If the proposal is accepted, not only would it mean the end of IIT-JEE but also every other individual entrance tests such as the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (aieee) conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (cbse).
It is believed that because students have to appear for individual entrance examinations for various institutes, they are under a lot of pressure. This calls out for a need to have a single commonentrance test for all engineering institutes.
A flaw in the current entrance procedure is that engineering aspirants focus more on preparing for entrance examinations and do not put enough effort into preparing for their Class XII examinations as the latter is not taken into consideration for admission into various engineering colleges.

In this years IIT-JEE , there were three errors in the papers. And officials have announced that all steps will be taken to rectify them. The subject heads of physics and maths were interchanged in the physics and math section in ORS (objective response sheet). However, the serial numbers of the questions and ORS were in order. In the Hindi version, code four, question 44 was missing. Further, in section IV of paper I, the English version correctly said each row carries 2 marks, while the Hindi version said each question carries three marks. However, no student will suffer due to the misprints in the question paper. It has been declared that whichever way it will be done, will be announced. The procedures followed either before the results are prepared or before the final results are declared.
