JEE Main Only For IIT Admissions And No More JEE Advanced – Decision On August 21

IIT Council is the top decision-making body for the Indian Institute of Technologies (IITs). On August 21, 2018, this council is up for a big discussion. There are several proposals that will be discussed. However, the biggest one which is coming up is the scrapping of JEE Advanced and only using JEE Main as admission tests for IIT admissions. The other proposal which is second in line is that allowing students to choose the IIT campus of their choice during admissions but not the course. Now, are these ideas feasible? Changing the entire scenario of the IIT intakes – this is going to take a lot of brainstorming and analysis on the behalf of the IIT council.

The decisions will not be easy and will take much much time in the coming future to be implemented if the IIT council finds these ideas feasible. The IIT Council is headed by the human resource development minister.

Proposal 1: Scrapping the advanced test under the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), passing which is a prerequisite for admission to the 23 IITs.

Proposal 2: A student will be allowed to choose the campus of his or her choice and not the course at the time of seeking admission. This proposal has been submitted to the MHRD by two different IITs.

What do these proposals suggest?

This proposal suggests the following –

Point 1: Scrapping JEE Advanced and making JEE Main the sole examination for admission IITs.

This is a huge one. The logic is to introduce a one test admission system. There will be no second level test or interview. Only one uniform test for all the competing candidates. This idea aims at taking off pressures from the candidates.

Point 2: Restructuring JEE Main as one sole admission test.

Under this, it has been proposed that in JEE Main no ranks will be given to the candidates. Candidates will be grouped. For example, candidates securing 80 to 90 per cent of marks will be grouped as one and treated as equals. Similarly, a structure will be introduced. Out of the top groups, candidates will be eligible for admission in the IITs.

Point 3: Admissions.

Two of the IITs, which are yet not identified, have submitted this proposal to allow the students to choose the IIT campus of their choice but not the course.

What these proposals tend to solve?

There is too much pressure for the candidates to take the board exam, then JEE Main and then again JEE Advanced. The high-end coaching centres are thus earning a lot of profit out of this which is morally wrong. Many believe that candidates who do not achieve the desired ranks are demotivated. Many are exhausted after extensive coaching and entrance exams. No ranks will ensure those hardworking candidates are treated as equals in their engineering campuses.

A few of the IITs have already opposed the idea, saying that allowing the candidates to choose the campus and not the course is unfair. They believe that students will opt for the older, more established IITs if given a choice.

It has also been noted that each year, as many as 10 lakh students go through many years of preparation and extensive pressure, in order to achieve a fine selection of about 5,000 students, to the top IITs. This is highly unfair.

Summarising all the above proposal to make JEE Main a single examination for IIt admission and eliminating JEE Advanced is to relieve pressure off the candidates and to make the admission system as fair as possible. So the questions that arise are – Is it unfair right now? Is it a lot of pressure for the candidates who have been giving 2 examinations for IIT admissions till date? Will this increase or decrease the quality of future engineers? Well, all these will depend on an analysis of years of data and a lot of speculations.

Lets us hear you, do you think doing away with ranking in JEE Main and scrapping JEE Advanced will be beneficial. Are you with the change or against it? Do comment below and tell us.

    This is going to kill the mighty Brand and quality of future engineers. Till date I am unable to understand the logic of so called educationist that by releasing pressure and making syllabus simple how one can produce better and extraordinary students who can represent India internationally or in India. Instead of this I strongly believe that a little bit pressure is necessary to bringout best of that child from him . I am a teacher and from last 25 years of my teaching experience, I strongly feel that to groom any student a little bit pressure is must. So I am requesting to not to do so. Make it optional if some students want to study simpler than let them do so but don’t make entire syllabus simple. As we all know that if goal will be simpler the real potential of will not come out. So it is, again, my humble request you, Iit counselling committy and As well as ministry of HRD not to do so and let millions of students unexplored. JAIHIND

    In my opinion scrapping off JEE Advanced examination will relieve a lot of pressure from the students(Me bieng a student). Profit accumulated by coaching centers is a secondary reason. The quality of engineers if concerned won’t be depreciated at all because the level of education in the colleges will remain up to the mark. Yes,it’s unfair .

    Bad decision. Jee advanced exam is one of a kind. It should not be scraped out. And yeah, I m a student preparing for jee advanced.

  6. Shreya says:

    As a student I think that scrapping jee advances is a bad idea till the Mains is not based on rattafying things unlike what jee advances is actually known for.
    It would be a relief for the students studying for a half dozen exams but at the same time IIT’s dignity should be taken care of…

    This is not right.best would had been to get 10percent marks in merit of plus two.
    People talk of pressure but once in IIT it gets worse it is real test of person.
    Educational institutes to be kept away from getting popularity.
    We don’t have any IIT n top world institutes and this decision ensured that we stay away from the list
