Whether the format of IIT-JEE exam need modfication or not?



In India, there are nearly more than 3500 engineering colleges including private, self aided and govt. colleges. The no. of engineering graduates is 1.2 lakh approx. per year from these colleges. Some 20 years back, engineering was a dream for many people due to less no. of colleges. Today anyone can study engg. course. Whoever scoring good marks in their state board exams, they are getting chance to study in the top colleges in their respective states. If they want to join IIT, they have to write special exam. Why cannot he/she (who are toppers in board exam) crack IIT-JEE exam? It is because of the different syllabus following in schools in each state. Hence first, govt has to initiate to make uniform syllabus in board exams. Or try to remove the different boards (ICSE, CBSE etc.) in India. Then they have to interfere the prestigious exams like JEE. Until making uniformity in board exams, it is unfair to take weightage of board exams (now govt planning of giving weighatage to 20-30 % . for board exam marks). As per statistics, currently some of the IIT and IIM are there among top 20 institutions in the world. It indicates the quality of education and output of this institution. Joint Admission Board (JAB) has been conducting the IIT entrance test for 5 decades. The IIT selection process has always more reliable. It is the senate’s academics that have made the entrance test, a level playing field and build the IIT brand for last 50 years. They have kept the selection process so patently fair and there is no interference especially from politicians and top govt. officials. If you have eligible score, then only u will get admission. There is no recommendation from anywhere and there is not management quota like that. Even president or PM’s son want to study also need a JEE score. If there is any change in quality of IIT exam, then we cannot see the any Indian institution among top 100 also. So my view is IIT-JEE exam should be continued. It is better, govt or ministry gives this debate for taking decision to IIT directors considering the national importance. We hope govt with IIT senate will take good decision without affecting the current quality of education in the IIT’s. Always one complaint are there on B.Tech graduates from IIT that they are settling abroad after their study and not serving to india. But govt is spending lot of money for them, I feel that It is not their problem. It is problem of India. But M.Tech and Phd''s are studying and benefitting from IITs every year. That number more than enough to serve for country. .
