Common Entrance Test Engineering For IITs, NITs, IIITs, etc

Now, All the Engineering aspirants have to appear for the common entrance test for engineering from 2013 for seeking admission in topmost engineering colleges of India. The decision came from Kapil Sibal , HRD Minister after chairing a meeting with the joint councils of IITs, NITs and IIITs.

After the introduction of new Common Entrance Test for Engineering, there will be no IIT-JEE and AIEEE from 2013.A whole new pattern has been introduced for the new entrance exam while Class 12th Board Marks will also be taken into consideration for seeking admission into IITs and NITs.

New Common Engineering Entance Exam Pattern

Candidates have two appear for the two tests i.e. Main Test and an Advanced Test. Both the tests will be conducted on the same day.

* For seeking admission into centrally funded universities and institutions the weight-age distribution will be as follows:

~ 40 % weightage for Class 12th Performance , 30 % weightage for performance in Main Test and finally 30 % wightage for Advanced Test Performance.

* For seeking admission into IITs, filtering process will be involved which is as follows :-

~ 50 % weightage to Class 12th performance and rest 50 % weightage to Main Test performance. While the top 50,000 candidates will be taken into consideration for the Advance Test along with accounting the performance in 12th class and Main Test.

" Candidates will be only eligible for IITs based on the merit prepared on there performance in Advanced Tests."

Well Sibbal justified the introduction of the new Common Entrance Test Engineering by saying that the candidate will now have to focus on the single entrance exam. The student will have to worry about the rank in just single entrance exam and thus they will be relieved from extra pressure. Simultaneously student can get the rank for IITs, NITs and IIITs at the same time.

Many State Governments are also keen in adapting the new format for engineering entrance in the state government colleges.

The new format have received mixed reactions from the students. Well I personally feel its not a good move by Government and especially Kapil Sibal by introducing Common Entrance Test Engineering.
