It seems that IITs have
won the fight against proposed new common entrance format, Human Resources
Development Minister Kapil Sibal has reportedly offered to drop weightage for 12th board
marks for the Joint Entrance Examination to be held from 2013.
Reportedly Kapil Sibal has sent a verbal offering that IITs can hold JEE Advanced on any date rather than same date and that no weightage be given to 12th board marks either for screening or the advanced examination and that board marks will only serve as an eligibility criterion as earlier.
After IIT faculty met with the prime minister Manmohan Singh last week PM has assured that there will be no change in the status of IIT’s autonomy, Sibal has reportedly conceded only after PM had a meeting with Kapil Sibal and had a word with him on the issue.
Though it is still unclear of the gap between first and second round., a meeting is scheduled tomorrow where all IIT senate members will discuss the modified offer. IIT’s are still awaiting a written communication on the offer made by Kapil Sibal.
