The Indian Institutes of
Technology (IITs) Council shows a red signal to the CBSE’s proposal of
conducting Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) - Main twice a year from next
sessions, said the sources.
Earlier, CBSE had planned
a proposal to hold the JEE - Main two times in a year, in the months of
February and April from next academic year. The board had come up with this
plan thinking to offer Engineering aspirants a chance to improve their scores
in the JEE-Main.
But the new proposal was
opposed by students, parents and teachers, saying this will affect the class 12
students’ performance in Board Exams.
The council members have
also agreed to the fact that holding the JEE-Main twice a year would increase
the academic pressure on students. However, the official announcement is yet to
be made.
Students support the IIT
council’s decision of refusing the CBSE proposal. However, this must be
disappointing for those who were hoping two attempts to improve their scores
and get entries into top class Engineering Institutes like IITs, Indian School
of Mines, Dhanbad and NITs.
JEE Main and JEE Advanced
are scheduled to be conducted on 06 April 2014 and 25 May 2014, respectively,
for the next session.
