IIT JEE - Eligibility Norms

Eligibility Norms for IIT Admission Test (IITJEE) May Get Tougher

To minimise competition and also to ensure non serious students for not applying for IIT JEE and to keep the IIT JEE Coaching industry in check, the four member committee, set up by the ministry of HRD, is working on possible ways. One such thing being considered by the committee is increasing weightage of board exam scores to tighten eligibility for JEE.

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) system for admission to IITs is most likely to be overhauled, as these premier educational institutions are keen to reduce the number of aspirants appearing for the test. The committee, headed by IIT-Kharagpur director professor Damodar Acharya, is working out the formula based on which competition could be limited to a smaller group of students that is really serious and has the potential.

At present, about 4 lakh students apply for the JEE for admission to 15 IITs that have about 10,000 seats. This means about 40 students are competing for one seat in these prestigious institutions.The idea is to reduce the competition to 10 students for one seat. Those who are really serious should only apply.

The committee is looking at various options, including raising the eligibility cut-off, to restrict the number of applications. It is also looking to give greater weightage to Class XII marks while preparing the cut-off list for admission to the IITs.

Sources said the percentile system might not be a workable option as different boards across the country have different percentage criteria.

The HRD ministry has asked the Acharya committe eto look at modifying the JEE format to make it a comprehensive test that can replace the All India Engineering Entrance Exam and the state-level entrance tests for admission into engineering institutions.

The JEE , AIEEE and state CETs could be replaced by a common aptitude test. The committee is expected to submit its report in two months. The final decision on the JEE will be taken in the next meeting of the IIT Council.
