Students of Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education
(RBSE) scoring above 70 per cent in Class XII science stream will get into the
top 20 percentile, making them eligible in the proposed common entrance test
(CET) for IIT-JEE.
RBSE chairman Subhash Garg welcomed the proposed CET but said the final format and guidelines are still awaited. Experts are analysing the format and trying to examine its formula. The format has received a positive response, as most people think it will provide some relief to students trying to crack the IIT-JEE.
On Thursday, Garg attended a CBSE meet which addressed the issue of CET in New Delhi. Twenty-six state heads of education boards also took part in the meeting.
“I personally feel that this will help students achieve their goal of IIT, especially students of our state,” Garg said.
Mirju Ram Sharma, secretary of the board said, “We are waiting for the CET format to arrive, so that we could analyze its merits and demerits.”
“At present minimum marks for appearing in the IIT entrance exam is 60 per cent. The proposed CET format says that students within the 20 percentile from their respective boards can sit in the exam. This enables Rajasthan board science students scoring over 70 per cent to apply for the exam” Garg added.
As per the top 20 percentile formula under the proposed CET, science students of the state's board with 70 per cent and above will come in the top 20 percentile group.
“In other boards, especially in CBSE, there is cut-throat competition for 0.1 mark because of which the evaluation for top 20 percentile goes as high as 85 to 87 per cent. Students will be out of the selection process even after giving the JEE advance test if they get even one per cent less in their board exam. Altogether 1.5 lakh students will be selected in the JEE advance test,” an expert said.
In Rajasthan this year, the topper of Class XII science scored 96.80 per cent while the eight rank student got 94 per cent marks. A total of 3,500 students were able to get 90 per cent marks. While in CBSE Class XII science exam this year, 28,000 students scored 90 per cent.
“At present, students appearing in Class XII science are concerned about theIIT-JEE. They usually end up performing poorly in the board exams. The new format will change the students attitude and will encourage them to put more efforts to the board exam,” a professor from a science college added. “All students will get a chance to appear but only 1.5 lakh students will be selected for the advance test,” Triumph Academy director Ashish Chaturvedi said.
