IIT’s want to switch to ISEET


IIT’s want to switch to ISEET as prelims followed by IIT JEE subjective exam, top 50,000 in ISEET eligible for IIT JEE

Earlier at the Pan IIT summit , NewYork, Narayana Murthy , Chairman of Infosys , expressed his great displeasure 
over the quality of the engineers passing out of IIT’s blaming the JEE format, which followed by heated discussions among stake holders of IIT’s,amid this MHRD has proposed to have a nation wide common engineering entrance test called ISEET which faced a stiff opposition from the senates of IIT’s.

In a bid to improve the situation IIT’s want to switch to the earlier pattern of IIT JEE, a subjective test to shortlist students for the admission to IIT’b ut as a compromise between MHRD’s proposal of having a nation wide common entrance test and IIT’s having a seperate test,all the IIT senates have decided to go for a two-tier selection process,where a nation wide objective test will be used as a prelim exam for IIT’s and the top 50,000 in the objective test (ISEET) will be made eligible to appear for IIT JEE subjective test.

Reportedly Ministry of Human Resources Development have been informed about the proposal to change admission process.The final decision on the same will be taken at the MHRD meeting with IIT Senates to be held on May 28.

  1. I am in support of this common entrance examination but not in favor of the using 12th examination board exams percentage to calculate the final rank and marks.
