Joint Entrance Examination (JEE)


The Human Resource Development Ministry's plan to implement a nation-wide, common engineering entrance examination from 2013 is near completion. The single entrance has been decided to be called as Joint Entrance Examination(JEE 2013). The JEE 2013 will replace the engineering entrance exams such as AIEEE and IIT-JEE from 2013 onwards.

A committee headed by Dr T Ramasami, secretary in the Department of Science & Technology,  recommended that the single entrance be bifurcated into two parts - "Main and advance" in April or May, 2013. The other aspects of the JEE 2013 will be worked out soon by an academic group headed by the director of IIT, Kanpur.

The test has already been approved by the IIT Council. It is said that the test JEE will be conducted by CBSE. The JEE scheme of examination will benefit the student by way of reducing stress for students. Aspirants will not have to prepare for multiple test syllabus and can focus on the preparation of a single test.

The JEE 2013 might only cover technical institutions funded by the Central Government. Sources within the HRD Ministry say that Ministry will finalize its plan to organize a common entrance in 2013 for admission in science and engineering institutions funded by the Central government, if not then for all the technical institutions functioning across the country.

This would imply that in 2013, the entrance test will only cover 15 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), 30 National Institutes of Technology (NITs), four Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), five Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) and few deemed universities.

Simultaneously, states will also be persuaded to accept the proposal to conduct a single entrance test for admission to engineering colleges under their jurisdiction.


LATEST NOTIFICATION : ISEET Renamed Back To Joint Entrance Examination (JEE)

Starting from 2013, a two step common entrance test will replace the old IIT-JEE and AIEEE. Previously known as the ISEET, the single common entrance test has been renamed as the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). JEE 2013 will be managed and conducted by CBSE. The states will have the freedom to join the process for admissions in their engineering colleges and they can determine their own relative weightages to Std XII marks, and performance in JEE Main and Advanced test.

JEE 2013 has been designed to give more weightage to Std XII exam results. It will consist of two objective type papers — JEE-Main and JEE-Advanced. Both papers will be held in two separate sessions, on the same day of the exam. Overall, two rank lists will be prepared, one for all the IIT and one for all other engineering institutes. IIT ranked students can apply to other engineering institutions based on their ranks.

Syllabus of JEE 2013 is similar to that designed for ISEET. Each paper will be conducted for three hours duration. The Main test will consist of objective type questions on comprehension, critical thinking and logical reasoning, whereas the Advance test will have questions on problem-solving ability in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. Ministry of Human Resource Development has also decided that JEE will be conducted twice in a year. Starting 2013, JEE will is proposed to be held once during November/December and then in April/May.

Admission For IITs
IITs will screen top 25% candidates who scored above the cut-off and have the highest percentile as per Std XII marks and JEE-Main, for a special JEE-Advanced. Thereafter, 50% weightage will be given to Std XII marks and 50% to JEE-Main scores. Based on the special Advanced result, IIT merit list will be prepared. However, seat and course allotment for all IITs will be held together in joint counselling.

Admission For Non-IITs
For the NIITs, IIITs and other central government-funded engineering colleges, there will be no screening test. In such a case, merit list will be prepared by allotting 40% weightage on Std XII marks, 30% weightage to JEE-Main and 30% weightage to JEE-Advanced.


IMPORTANT : Those aspirants who are willing to take the JEE 2013 but who have appeared in the Class XII Board examinations in 2012 can appear again to improve their performance in the Board examinations in 2013. The CBSE and the State Boards will make appropriate arrangements.
