Comedk Colleges Top 10: The Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT JEE) and the All India Engineering Entrance Examination are the primary engineering entrance examinations for engineering colleges across India (AIEEE). In 2010, the Ministry of Human Resource Development proposed a unified engineering admission examination. The concept has been given several names and forms and is planned to be implemented in 2024. Even for the academic year 2021–22, the uniform admission test for all engineering courses in India has yet to be implemented.
The All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) is considering making JEE Mains the single admission test for all state and private institutions as well as deemed universities.
History
The Ministry of Human Resource Development suggested a single engineering entrance test in February 2010 as “a common mechanism for common admission into professional institutions throughout the country.” Indian Science Engineering Eligibility Test was the suggested name (ISEET). It was designed to replace a variety of previous tests, including the Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT JEE) and the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE). The exam’s initial year was supposed to cover admissions to government-supported institutions, including the Indian Institute of Science, Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research, and several declared universities. The test was to be launched in 2013 as per the ministry’s decision on May 20, 2012.
The need for a single admission exam is for a variety of reasons.
1. In India, several engineering institutes are recognized for charging a capitation fee.
2. A uniform admission exam will save students and parents money on application forms and prospectuses for multiple engineering institutions, which they would otherwise have to pay. Another benefit is the cost savings associated with travel fees for multiple admission tests.
3. Transparency in the publication of entrance exam rankings and engineering college admissions.
Joint Entrance Examination (JEE)
A combined meeting of the councils of IITs, NITs, and IIITs recommended a more detailed framework on June 18, 2012. According to this plan, the exam would be known as the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and divided into two parts: JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Two unique “entrance patterns” will be employed. For IITs, the screening will be based on an average Class XII Board test and JEE Main scores, with only a limited number of students being considered for admission. The JEE Advanced will be used to rank these students, and the joint admission board of IITs will determine the format.
Admission to other institutions (NITs, IIITs, and 20 GFTIs) will be granted only if the candidate has obtained at least 75% in their 12th board examinations or is in the top 20 percentile list of their respective boards for the class 12th board examination.
Expected Changes
- There would be just one admission test, JEE Main, based on CBSE and NCERT Solutions, the same as NEET. All engineering institutions will be required to admit applicants solely on the basis of these scores.
- Varied states have different syllabuses. However, JEE Mains has a single syllabus that is followed by the majority of applicants across India. It will benefit students since they will not have to take separate admission tests for private, state, and federally financed engineering universities.
- Candidates would not be required to attend several counseling sessions for various reasons.
- Individual registration will not be required for private or deemed universities.
- The same syllabus would promote better preparation and reduce applicant uncertainty about test patterns for various engineering entrance examinations.
- Because there will be just one entrance exam, students who take it will be eligible for admission to all AICTE-approved institutions without having to take multiple entrance examinations or select between entrance exams scheduled on the same day.
- If this decision is made this year, students studying for entrance exams such as KCET and COMEDK will experience challenges as a result of the abrupt shift in the syllabus.
Because several states are now accepting JEE Mains scores for entrance, we urge all of our students to prepare primarily for JEE Mains and the CBSE syllabus. Students taking the state boards can simply enroll in a crash course to refresh their ideas and get up to speed on the latest CBSE syllabus.
Objections
Two of the IITs have expressed significant opposition to the single exam and have stated that if the move is implemented, they will hold their own admissions examinations.
