IT-JEE test pattern to follow changes

Filed under:

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) conducted by the seven NTs has been simplified by including only two papers instead of three. The new pattern will be adopted from the forth-coming JEE test which is scheduled to be held on April 8, 2007. The two papers will include questions from all the three disciplines (Physics, Chemistry and Maths) each for three hours. A note released by the Joint Admission Board says that, JEE 2007 will be a single-stage objective type examination consisting of two papers of three hours duration each to test comprehension and analytical ability of the candidates.

In the process of evaluation, candidates will be awarded marks separately for Physics,Cnemistryand Maths. This would help to shortlist candidates to determine their stream after they are selected. NT officials said the decision to hold two exams instead of three would reduce the stress on the candidates. According to the new pattern, candidates can attempt IIT-JEE twice from 2006. The provision also says that the candidates who got admission in IT-BHU and ISM Dhanbad through JEE will not be allowed to appear again.

The IITs are also planning to attract foreign candidates by setting up exam centres in Singapore and the Middle East. IITs can admit 10% foreign students over their present capacity. Presently, each PIT allows only three to four foreign candidates for admission. The fee that IITs charge from the foreign candidates is $4,000 per year and for students from SAARC countries is $2,000 per year.

The Joint Admission Board also clarified that the intake capacity of students in IITs across the country would increase by 54% once the government gives a green signal to implement the proposed 27% reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs).
