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.
It is a very bad idea. Please jee advanced must not be removed.
It will snatch our dream of pursuing Btech courses in IIT.
It will crush our goals and will really hurt the students struggling for two years for the Her exam. Scraping jee advanced will degrade the engineering education in our country. Then forget about good engineers in India. Please don’t snatch this very very precious opportunity from us. We really want to give Jee advanced.
agree
Will be there still board percentage criteria in admission into iit
Dumb people just think about it if advance model is removed then it’s pretty obvious that mains model will be tough
I agree with Shreyas .
Jee advanced exam is necessary to
maintain a level and quality of
education. Scraping it off will injustice to the deserving candidates.
Continue with JEE advance will only help the coaching business. It is really very good idea to give away with JEE advance to make the students more creative and sensitive. The shortcuts, unfundamental new formulas and similar things taught in these coaching don’t help to increase fundamental knowledge and not useful for further study in IITs and it only make students like machines and their behavior becomes to only earn money and their machining attitude don’t have any feelings for society, their parents, thier family etc. We are having limited seats for IITs and purpose of any entrance exam is to select the most talented students for top institutes. So this object can be obtained by little change in JEE mains.
I am 101% sure that conducting only one exam for IITs, NITs etc will reduce the pressure on the all students, their parent and the cases of sucide by students will reduce to great extent. And this will help them to ease in their post family life.
even i think that taking away jee advanced exam is really a very bad idea it not only crushes the dream of many students but also reduces the quality of education . that too IIT is considered as one of the prestigious institute in india . lacks of students wants to do their B.TECH in IIT soo plz keep jee advanced
This proposal of scraping advanced is good ” for nothing”. This is going to ruin the whole standard of engineering education. No one can gain essential knowledge in just one semester without using the infrastructure for complete four years. Please don’t play with the future of deserving students by proposing such ideas of scraping jee advanced.
What a joke!!!
Hats off to those 12 years old iitians 😂 who think it’ll degrade the value of an IIT 😂 also to those who is thinking NPTEL is gonna be easy Af 😂😂😂 C’mon people you’re better than this 😂 it is good cause you now get into an IIT cause you deserve it (Google what the heck is NPTEL if you don’t get it) and learning skills is good for every engineer instead of doing some mathematics problems and qualifying JEE mains.
Note the value is gonna increase if the deserved one’s get into 😉 maybe you don’t deserve it!
Also Don’t brag about reservation I’m OC (tier 3 college bdw) and I don’t really care what competition is when it comes to programming for portion 😉
Also to those wanna be’s jus get into a nit and live a corporate lifestyle 😉
This is one of the only good things our government is doing in the educational system,
“SCRAP JEE ADVANCED, GIVE BACK CHILDREN THEIR CHILDHOOD”
Worst idea bad idea to remove jee advanced remove reservations
Scrapping jee advance is very good thought.
Ruining the education system.. this is injustice with deserving candidates.. giving donkeys experience of iit is of no use.. the one who deserves qualifies advanced..
Instead of scrapping JEE Advanced, I feel the govt. should directly declare coaching institutes to be illegal and also issue reservations to marginalized groups in a more sensible way (instead of giving preference to them in exams, let the govt. give them suitable support based on their financial condition).
Let the students prove their calibre through their own hard work, instead of learning useless “shortcuts” in coaching institutes (which ultimately degrades the entire idea of education). I think childhood would definitely be restored in such a process.
But, irrespective of any situation, India will only produce good-quality engineers and not actual contributors to science and technology (unless the whole education system is radicalized and changed). Food for thought…
I don’t think that JEE Advanced should be scrapped. Instead, I feel that the govt. should directly declare coaching institutes to be illegal and issue reservations to marginalized groups in a more sensible manner (Instead of giving them preference in exams, let the govt. lend suitable monetary support to them based on their financial condition).
Students should prove their calibre through their own hard work, not through memorizing useless “shortcuts” given by coaching institutes (which ultimately degrades the entire idea of education). Childhood would definitely be preserved in such a situation.
But I digress. Irrespective of any situation, India will only produce good-quality engineers, not actual contributors to science and technology (unless the whole education system is radicalized and changed). Food for thought…
