IIT JEE CHANGESNew!!! September 12, 2005Government announced major changes in the Join Entrance Examination (JEE) for IITs and other participating institutes on 12th September, 2005. These changes will be in in effect from next year (2006).
Only Students who secure first class (60%) or equivalent in the plus two examination will be eligible for admission to the IITs. However there will be a relaxation of 5% for SC/ST students.
Unlike the present two tier examination (screening and mains), JEE will be a single objective type examination, which could include short write-ups on various topics followed by objective questions based on write-ups.
The number of attempts has also been brought down to two. Students would be allowed to take the JEE in the year they pass the 12th standard examination and the following year only.
Students seeking IIT admissions from next year on cannot ignore their Class XII exams_a first class in the board exam (at least 60%) is the new eligibility for IIT admissions. Only two JEE attempts will be allowed and anyone who joins an IIT can't take the examination again to aim for A higher rank.
These are among the key changes in the IIT admission process after a review by a task force headed by Idi Chandy, ex-JEE chairman. Its suggestions were accepted by the IIT Council Standing Committee chaired by C N R Rao and comprising all IIT Directors
