The new JEE has made only top 20 percentile students in their
school board examinations eligible for the JEE Advanced examinations, and since
girls constitute a majority scoring high in school boards, IIT’s are expecting
an increase in the number of girls making it to the premier colleges of
engineering in the coming academic year, and they are also expecting a better mix of
incoming students from outside of coaching centers.
“We see that a lot of the toppers in the board exams are girls. Right now the composition of girls on our campus is 14%. With this move, we expect the percentage to go up at least to 25%” Says R Nagarajan, professor of chemical engineering, IIT Madras.
Not only the increased percentage of girls in IIT’s , but IIT faculty are expecting a better quality and sincere students to join he IITs this year, ”This will ensure that the students are more sincere and that we will get students with better quality. We expect an attitudinal change among students, because they would have been going to school and taking the Class 12 exams seriously,” said professor Sarit Kumar Das of mechanical department, IIT Madras, talking about the same.
