What The New IIT Entrance Norms Mean For Aspirants

In what could turn out to be a major shift in the admission process to some of the country's premier engineering institutions, a panel appointed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has recommended a new scheme for selecting candidates for the IIT-JEE.

Candidates qualified to write the JEE examination will now be shortlisted based on their performance in the Class XII board examinations as well as an aptitude test, as opposed to a single objective type examination in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Is this a better selection process than merely relying on the results of IIT- JEE? Here are we write our views.

The proposed admission process addresses many of the concerns which we have with the current JEE system. A large number of JEE aspirants used to ignore the teaching and learning process in school and concentrate on the entrance examination. This has an adverse impact on the candidates overall learning as the school syllabus is more elaborate and includes laboratories, language and other skills.

As per the recommendation, 70 per cent weightage will now be given to the board examination and 30 per cent for an aptitude test. Coaching centres will have less of a role to play now.

Government should bring all the class XI and XII students on one common board syllabus before going ahead with its plans for increasing board exam weightage in IIT selection. Laying more emphasis on board marks is a good step but before this is implemented, the government will have to take some preliminary steps.

Scoring high marks in CBSE is not a difficult task because of the easier syllabus and the pattern of exam. However, scoring high marks in the board examinations conducted by State governments such as UP Board, Haryana Board and Bihar Board is very difficult. A topper in these boards gets close to 80 per cent marks, while a CBSE topper can get up to 98 per cent marks. In such a situation, students of CBSE schools will be at an advantage as compared to students from other State boards.

New scheme may lead to exploitation of students by school teachers who provide tuitions in their subjects. Students may be forced to take tuitions from certain teachers in order to get better marks in their board exam and practicals. What is the alternative, we ask. " Instead of attempting to wipe out coaching centres from the face of Indian academics, MHRD officials, school authorities, coaching centre owners and the IIT- JEE body should sit together and come up with a long- term solution.

It is estimated that in 2009, over 3,85,000 students took the examination, but only a meagre 10,350 aspirants cracked it. This clearly points out to the huge number of non- serious candidates sitting for the IIT- JEE. The overhaul is an absolutely welcome move. It will definitely lead to greater transparency and accountability in the entire selection process by weeding out the possibility of any bungling.
