Old IIT JEE , ISEET or new JEE

Old IIT JEE , ISEET or new JEE, So what is the new engineering entrance examination ?

There’s a lot of confusion in students about what is the engineering entrance examination that they need to prepare for , thanks to Ministry of Human Resources Development and IIT’s for not making any official statement on the same.


Here’s a quick snapshot of what has happened till now:


>In the year 2011, T.Ramasami Commission presented it’s report to Ministry of Human Resources Department stating a need for a Nation wide common Engineering Entrance Examination and that Class 12 marks has to be given weightage not less than 40%.

>MHRD has approved the common Engineering entrance examination which can be called ISEET (INDIAN SCIENCE-ENGINEERING ELIGIBILITY TEST ).

>ISEET will have three 40% weightage to 12th marks , Main examination which comprises of test for aptitude, comprehension and critical thinking and Advanced examination which will have test for Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry.

>NIT’s and IIIT’s also approve ISEET as Engineering Entrance .

>IIT Council approved ISEET to be implemented from 2013.

>Board of State Education Ministers endorse ISEET to be implemented from 2013.

>MHRD suggests that only IIT’s , NIT’s, IIIT’s And IISER Will Have Single Entrance Test In 2013

>IIT Faculty federation strongly opposes ISEET as engineering entrance exam.

>Kapil Sibal says the name of the engineering entrance can still be JEE , and ISEET renamed back to JEE .

>MHRD also announces that IIT JEE will be held twice from 2013.

Amid All India IIT Faculty Federation strongly opposing the new format of JEE and Sibal working hard on getting the new JEE implemented from 2013 we will have to wait next month for an official announcement on the new JEE as MHRD , IIT’s and CBSE is working on the details and modalities of the examination, though it’s putting a lot of pressure on students appearing for engineering entrance in 2013
