On August 21, 2018, a historical decision might be made. As per the newspaper reports the idea of scrapping JEE Advanced examination is to be discussed at the IIT council meeting scheduled on August 21, 2018. Along with taking down JEE Advanced exam, there are also talks on scrapping the IIT flagship B.Tech courses and converting IITs into high-end institutes that offer post-graduate education and only certain semesters of teaching to nearly 80,000 students a year instead of the current 10,000 plus. However, how much is this idea feasible is yet not clear, this will be only possible after the IIT council meeting.
This idea has come from some eminent faculty members of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). This idea is aimed at checking the multi-million IIT coaching industry and to take IIT-level teaching to more students, as per various reports.
Qualifying JEE Advanced and taking admission in IIT B.Tech courses are considered almost a sacred deal. However, puts a bit of more pressure on some candidates. Thus, the idea further suggests that admission in IIt can be based on JEE Main scores only. The top candidates of JEE Main can be admitted to the IITs without any further tests or interviews. Also, the idea adds that the JEE main results should classify all candidates into 10 groups based on marks range with all students in one range (say 80%-90%) treated as equal.
IITs are basically working towards transforming themselves into high-end education provider of the nation and this idea is in that regard. Now, as per this idea, the B.tech programme at IITs is to be changed with one semester IIT experience.
Admission to this semester-long experience into IITs will be for the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th semesters of the B Tech programme (i.e., for the third and fourth year) and will be based on the performance in an examination based on NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning).
Students will enroll in this one semester IIT experience, will get degrees issued by their universities which explicitly mention the IIT semester experience. Such students will also get a preferential admission into IITs to do an M.Tech degree, given that they complete their bachelor’s degree with high marks.
What are your opinions – Is this idea feasible? Let us know what are your thoughts on this in the comment section below.
IITS are considered as some of te top institutes of india. By lessening the toughness in entrance, what are we achieving… old IITs hardly have good hostels to accomodate the students Even Now. How in hell can they accomodate eight times students.. hell it will be. Please inspect renovate and add new hostels for students in top iits and then think of incresing no. Of stidents. Most iits still keep buildings of their starting days with single rooms of that time made to double rooms and or spkit into two single rooms etc.
If at all jee main is the entrance then at least 25percent questions should be by advance team itself and the no of questions they can answer should not be limited. Since its computer based it can be easily implemented. Bits entrance is similar.
This is actually one of the worst idea because by doing so the prestige of iit would really go down as advance is the only pair which contains potential while in jee main a child even clear it by memorizing. If it would be done then the high paid w offers that are given to iitians would vanish and t it would really result to a massive decline in world ranking of iit. Moreover advance is one of the toughest paper and it has such a potential that even the professors of prestigious univesties says that it is one best papers . So at the last I would only say that I am completely against it. !!!!!!
I don’t get this nonsense which I found while reading the comment section. I mean scrapping JEE Advanced is such a great idea. I mean, our country has such a huge population of students and imagine only 10,000 of them get quality education. What a waste. This is the best alternate solution if the government cannot open universities
I found many of the thundercunts in the comment section saying coaching institutes provide “deep knowledge” but in actuality, all they do is encourage rote learning. They don’t enhance the child’s creativity, they just make him do loads of similar questions and turn him into a sort of calculator.
Today India creates a large number of qualified engineers who end up in huge tech corporations, but how many CEOs does India produce? Too few, compared to other great powers, our engineers lack the creativity required to create successful start-ups.
So, I am totally with the idea of scrapping JEE Advanced as it takes childhood away from children.
PS : I can bet most of the “Pro- JEE Advanced” guys never appeared or prepared for Advanced or are either bluffing and don’t know what a child goes through while preparing for it.
It’s a great idea!!!! At least 80000 students must be selected out of 1400000 students who give jee mains every year . Being in top 80,000 out of 14 lakh is also a big deal nd that means anyone without prep cannot land into iits. Moreover it will reduce the pressure on aspiring students. so there is an upvote for the idea!!!!
it really decreased the standerd of education in india stop the curisity among the student who is preparing for jee advanced it will stop the student to get the hard and quality of study it is only the standered exam in india so pleased don’t scrap it. hardworking nature will not be there, by scrapping the exam learning level will decreased.
as a student i am really saying that we are not getting any pressure of study but we are enjoying study by learning concrpt and these study makes different from other student but if yo scrap jee advanced then it really hurts the curoisity among student please please don’ do these . these standered examination only makes us diffrent from other students . we really get dissapointed if any student not studying but getting seat in such a prestigious college.
Yes . Doing away with jee advanced or btech will leave the level of IIT degraded
Indian education will see the worst drought of knowledge, discipline,devotion,commitment and hard work ever. Very bad idea. Government must reject it . otherwise our education system will be ruined .
Firstly I think scrapping jee advance is not a great idea …secondly if you really want to change and improve the education system first remove the categories like ST SC OBCs etc from the seat selection of IITs because there are many students enough capable to go into top IITs but miss their chance due to category students and more surprisingly the students of special categories have scored less in the exam from the student of general category and gets a good IIT from the general category candidate which is injustice with students like me …..Also by only scoring well in JEE main would also reduce the level of good questions which come through JEE advance… So i think the decision to remove jee advance if taken would not be a great idea
Please think beyond yourself. IITs are also for uplift marginalized communities and bringing them into mainstream. For you 50 % seats are there, given your privileged upbringing u must not cry over such issues and work hard to achieve what u want.
who r u to say these
iits r one of the best colleges in all over world
and they know what to do
UNDERSTAND
Do One thing just Fire All reservatiOns. tHen a student can compete fairly with all. .nothing else this fake thingS.
Atul I do agree on your aspect because I am also in category and I have seen many students enjoying reservations and getting a better college with lesser marks than my seniors.
This is the worst idea EVER. First rserve seats on basis of ST,SC etc. Then scrapp off JEE ADVANCE and finally increase the number of students. And so after doing all this shit u expect to give quality education to students. I mean REALLY? Then Why would a student would aim for iit if it has got no standard, and no difficulties. Advance is known for its toughness. That’s why people qualifing advance are respected everrywhere. U guys really think that after this stupidity, companies would take interest in your so called iitians.
Quality education should be given only to those students who have potential of aquiring such education. I really dont think that 80000 students deserve that kind of education as that of iits. This will be the BIGGEST blunder of this century. I can just hope that u dont do such INJUSTICE to students who work day and night to qualify advance and get jobs in companies which can value their hard work with a nice amount of salary. This is not some joke. Dont PLAY with our future.
whenever changes happen people scuffle in spite welcome the new structure, we feel such changes are going to happen by keeping following things in mind.
01. Children should go schools regularly
02. Do not run for Branded Coaching center
03. from Rural to Urban every child will get fair chance
04. most important our education system will get improved when these branded coaching center
will get inactive.
05. Presently education becomes business , this need to think seriously
Seriously? This is like the worst idea ever. What it will only do is basically make any BTech dgree from an Indian government college just crap. The brand value of BTech from IITs will be diluted and all system will go just haywire. What a shithead whoever came up with this idea.
I think the top forum of IIT s would like to do only the final touch of graduation for bright students. IIT degree will not be an exclusive full cap by itself for bright hardworking students to wear. They can add IIT feathers to their cap . In the disguise of allowing exposure to more number of students, IIT s will do” fast cooking”,instead of “deep cooking”.
Too many cooks will spoil the dish.It may be”change “for the sake of change. The good old brand quality and taste of the product shall be lost.
Yes jee advance must be conducted every year . Jee advanced must not be cancelled
If it happens, soon the IITs ranking would surely degrade in the list of top 10 international technology institutes.
IIT would no more remain a prestigious tag.
It’s again a political bounty to please masses.
This idea doesn’t make sense at all.. you can’t degrade quality of education in name of “being fare with multi-million coaching centers” the right thing would be to standardize school studies rather than rendering IIT’s bereft of their standards..
