IIT-kanpur junks JEE plans its own exam next year
I read an article that IIT-kanpur has decided to discard JEE plans and go its own way how it picks students for next year. The institute discards the proposal of common entrance test for all centrally funded engineering institutes and announced its own exam next year because it disagree with new new single joint entrance exam plan of HRD ministry. This resolution was passed at IIT-kanpur's special senate meeting. This meeting was attended by nearly 80 members. The admission committee for the exam will be announced soon. This rule will be implemented in 2013 so that students should get time to prepare for new format. And the students who appeared in JEE exam in 2012 are also eligible for second attempt in 2013. Dr.Mohapatra said that in 2013 IIT council will not be the part of JEE. He also invited other IIT's to follow the footsteps of kanpur but there was no immediate support.The director of IIT-Bombay, Devang khakhar said that there are no plans of conducting separate exam. The director of IIT-Delhi, RK Shevgaonkar said that they will go with the decision of theeir own senate members. The students of IIT-kanpur criticised the single entrance test for all engineering admissions. This separate exam will put students under greater stress.
