Online, offline JEE exam to be held in April next year

The first Joint Engineering Examination (main) 2013, known so far as the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) paper I, will be held in April 2013. 
    The JEE apex board on JEE main and advanced decided that the JEE (main) for BE/ B.Tech will be held in two modes — offline and online. The offline exam for JEE (main) will be held on April 7, 2013, and the online exam will be held thereafter in April. The examination (paper II of earlier AIEEE) for admissions to B Arch/ B Planning courses at NITs, IIITs, DTU and other centrally funded technical institutes (CFTIs) will be held on April 7, 2013, in offline mode only. 
    The JEE apex board said merit list for admission to NITs, IIITs, DTU and other CFTIs will be prepared by giving 40% weightage (suitably normalized) to Class XII or other qualifying exam marks and 60% to the performance in JEE (main) examination. The JEE (main) 2013 will have one three hour objective-type question paper. The paper will consist of physics, chemistry and mathematics. The paper II will have one question paper comprising math, aptitude test and drawing test as per past practice of AIEEE. The duration will be three hours. 
    Only 1,50,000 of the top rankers in JEE (main), which includes students from all categories (general, non creamy layer-OBC, SC & ST) will be eligible to appear in JEE (advanced) -2013 (so far known as IIT-JEE and conducted by the IITs) for admission to IITs, IT BHU and ISM Dhanbad.
