PLAYING WITH JEE AGAINIn a significant move to check the growth of coaching centres, which are thriving on imparting coaching to students for IIT-JEE, the government today decided to change the criteria, so that students' attention will be more focused on the board exam at Class-XII.
"The present criteria is that students need to secure 60 per cent at class-XII for appearing in IIT-JEE. This is not acceptable. The minimum marks required for IIT-JEE could be raised up to 80 to 85 per cent," HRD Minister Kapil Sibal told reporters after the meeting of the IIT Council, the apex decision making body for the elite institutes, here.
The meeting was expected to frame a multi-pronged policy, including introducing scholarships and reducing fee, to attract more foreign students at post-graduate level in the institutes. Sibal met representatives of IIT faculty which was demanding removal of 40% cap on promotion of professors to senior grade.
The faculty demanded abolition of contractual appointment at entry level. The minister told them that the government "guidelines are just norms and there can be flexibility or relaxation in exceptional cases. The council will also discuss giving more autonomy to the elite institutes.
Besides, the government appointed a committee headed by Atomic Energy Commission Chairman to suggest visions for IITs for 2020.
Indian Institutes for Technology (IITs) should give more weightage to the class 12 exam marks for admission to their undergraduate courses, union Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said on Monday.
According to a senior ministry official, Sibal stressed that the IIT admission procedures should give more weightage to class 12 exam marks and also consider raising the cut-off percentage for students to appear in the IIT-Joint Entrance examination.
The minister made the comments while chairing a meeting of the IIT Council here.
