Those taking up the exam next year have a great cause for relief – the
main exam, which is being held for the first time, is a gateway to some
of the most prestigious engineering colleges in the country.
Test takers were worried about the syllabus for the paper and the
extent of class XI lessons featured in the paper. The mock exam is
expected to clarify the pattern and syllabus to a greater extent.
AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Exam) will be replaced by JEE
(main) this year. It will also be the first stage for admission to the
IIT’s (Indian Institutes of Technology). The candidates will have the
option to appear for the online version or the pen-and-paper version of
the exam. The registration for the JEE will close on Saturday, December
15.
More than 1.2 million students
are expected to appear in the exam as per an official estimate. The
test will have both online formats and pen-and-paper mode of conduction.
Centrally-funded engineering schools all together have 25,000 seats
available with them; that will include around 9,700 seats from the 15
IITs. Beginning in the second week of January the mock test will be
conducted for almost 3 months.
Aspirants will have more than 1 sample test made available to them.
Students who will rank under the top 1, 50,000 will sit for the next
exam held for the selection to IITs. The criterion also requires the
candidate to finish in the top 20 percentile of their schools board
exams.
This time, in January,
students will be permitted to make changes to their application form,
once. The permission will be granted after the ongoing registration
process has ended by the mid-December.
The candidates can make the suitable corrections to their forms,
through a window for the registered candidates, with regards to the city
that the candidate would like to write the test in, a preference for a
test centre etc.
