"IITJEE"
an Introduction
Indian Institute of
Technology Joint Entrance Examination or commonly known as the IITJEE or called by
the students now a days as JEE is one of the best and greatest examination that you would probably face in your
life. I am one of the general public who have faced this examination.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is an all India common engineering
entrance examination conducted for admission to various engineering colleges
and courses all over the country. The test comprises of two stages - JEE Main
and the JEE Advanced. The exams are of the objective pattern. JEE Advanced is
regarded internationally as one of the most challenging engineering admission
tests.

JEE Advanced
Students who qualify JEE-Mains can
appear for the JEE-Advanced examination. Approximately 200,000 students qualify
to appear for JEE-Advanced examination.
JEE Advanced 2017
IIT Madras has been selected to
conduct JEE Advanced for the year. The JEE Advanced examination will be held on
21 May 2017. Changes for 2017 include:
·
All India Ranks will not be calculated with the normalised scores of
class 12th marks. CBSE has decided to do away with the class 12th normalised
marks, which were used to calculate the All India Ranks of the JEE Main - up to
2016. All India Ranks of JEE Main would earlier get calculated with JEE Main
score and normalised marks of class 12th in the ratio of 60:40.
·
The top 220,000 examinees from JEE Main will be eligible to sit for JEE
Advanced 2017. In 2016, the total number of eligible candidates for JEE Advanced
was increased to 200,000 from the 150,000 in 2015.
·
The new eligibility criteria introduced by CBSE means that an aspirant
will not be able to submit online applications for JEE Main unless the
candidates provide their AADHAAR number.
·
The qualifying marks for admission to NITs, IIITs and GFTIs have also
been revised for the admission year 2017-18. As per MHRD's notification,
for candidates to qualify for admissions to NITs/IIITs/GFTIs, they should have
secured at least 75% marks in class 12th exam or be in the top 20 percentile in
the class 12th exam conducted by the respective boards. For SC/ST candidates,
the eligibility criteria are 65% marks in class 12th.
JEE Advanced 2016
In 2016, the JEE Advanced exam was
held on May 22, 2016. The exam carried a total of 372 marks with each paper
carrying 186 marks. The level of difficulty of questions was increased to a
larger extent. Moreover, number of integer type questions (which had no
negative marking) were reduced. The paper was set up in collaboration of
different IITs with the principal organiser being the IIT Guwahati. The Physics
paper was set by IIT Madras, Mathematics by IIT Guwahati and the Chemistry
portion was jointly set by IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi. These features made this
paper the toughest ever JEE Paper till date. The paper had a huge surprise of
partial marking in multiple correct choices where if a student marked some but
not all correct answers without marking the wrong ones, he/she would be awarded
one mark for each correct option.
JEE Advanced 2015
JEE Advanced 2015 was held on May 24,
2015. The two papers were of 504 marks overall, a sharp increase from the
regular trend of about 360 marks. Changes in examination pattern surprised
students nationwide. There were no single correct multiple choice questions at
all; all of them were multi-correct. The level of negative marking was also
increased.
A student from Madhya Pradesh, Satvat
Jagwani, topped the exam with 469 marks. According to the statistics released
by IIT Bombay, which conducted the exam, 26,456 out of the 1,17,238 candidates
who appeared in the test were shortlisted for admission to IITs. 23,407 male
candidates qualified, outnumbering 3,049 female candidates.
JEE Advanced 2014
JEE Advanced 2014 was held on May 25,
2014. The paper was of 360 marks. Praveen Tyagi, head of a coaching centre,
said that the first paper was reminiscent of the old subjective JEE papers in
terms of difficulty level. He noted that a major surprise was that there was no
negative marking in the first paper, so students who did not read the
instructions or attempted only selected questions would be at loss. Mr R L
Trikha from another private coaching organisation stated that the physics paper
was lengthier and chemistry was tougher than last year. The mathematics part of
the paper was not well-balanced as there was 50% calculus, 30% algebra and just
20% coordinate geometry.
The second paper was comparatively
easier.
119,581 students appeared for JEE
Advanced in 2014 out of which 27,152 qualified of which 14,269 i.e. 52.55%
qualified from 11 Indian cities.
History
The JEE pattern has undergone many
changes. Since 2010 candidates are given paper copies of their answers, and
cutoffs are announced. This transparency was achieved after a tenacious
legal tussle waged by IIT Kharagpur professor Rajeev Kumar, who was nominated for the National RTI Award 2010 for his crusade. Since
2013-14, JEE has changed a lot and recently adopted new online admissions and
application selection procedures which were not available in recent years.
JEE Mains counselling
Earlier, counselling for JEE main was
conducted through CSAB but now officials have made changes in the counselling
procedure. The JAB (Joint Admission Board), representing IITs and CSAB (Central
Seat Allocation Board), are making agreements on the behalf of NITs and other
CFTIs, and are now united to conduct a counselling (common counselling) for the
two exams of JEE. The memo for the same was signed on May 2, 2015. These two
together will be known as the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA)
Future
The JEE Board of conduct refreshes
the pattern of the examination every year. This dynamic nature is built to
ensure the merit-based selection and genuineness of the entrance test. This is
also done to oppose the coaching culture widely followed as a means of
preparation for this exam. To further clarify the process of admission by
merit, JEE Admission Board plans to replenish the exam structure from 2017. As
per decisions are taken in December 2015-February 2016, JEE 2017 onwards will
comprise a compulsory 'Science Aptitude Test' as the first phase of the exam
and then the final objective paper as the rank-decider. JAB bets that this
aptitude test cannot be gamed by coaching institutes and thereby is a true
merit process of selection.
