IIT Entrance May Become Uniform

Filed under:

A committee appointed by the HRD ministry will take a fresh look at the present IIT entrance exam system. The two-tier exam system includes objective type questions in the prelims and subjective ones in the finals. The panel will examine whether it should be replaced with a uniform system.

In the finals, candidates have to answer three papers physics, chemistry and mathematics through a gruelling six hours on a single day.

The ministry feels it is too taxing and has asked the committee to work out a better fatigue and rest cycle.

The committee will also compare IIT-JEE question papers with those of the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) and other engineering entrance examinations conducted by various states to check if there is too wide a gap in their standards
