NO ENTRY: EXAM THAT FAILED IIT

Admission system overhauled apparently in bid to reduce burden on students and make school-leaving results (Board marks) matter 
    A two-step admission process followed: The JEE main and the JEE Advanced 
    Top 1,50,000 of those who qualified in JEE Main took JEE Advanced 
    The JEE Advanced gives you chance at getting into one of the 16 IITs. Total 9,885 seats 
    Those who didn’t make it to JEE Advanced stood a chance to study at the IIITs, NITs and Central Funded Technical Institutions (CFTI) 
    CBSE conducted JEE-main, IITDelhi conducted JEE-advanced 
Passing IIT tests not enough, final rank decided by clubbing Board results 
A student had to be among top 20 percentile in his Board 
To bring Board results from all Boards (CBSE, state, others) into a standardized format, qualifying students’ Class XII 
results from all Boards tossed around in a math mixie 
This normalization process formula was prepared by 
Indian Statistical Institute 
Explaining formula & 
normalization for lay persons failed. Beyond few steps, the complicated process stops making sense 
    Experts also foxed by sheer abnormalities in final ranking that defy common sense, logic and sense of fairness 
    Final ranks showed students who had made it to IIT because of good ranking in IIT Advanced test hadn’t actually got in 
    The other big-data problem was different interpretations of the 20-percentile qualifier 
NOW WHAT? 
Students, parents fuming, PIL filed. Admissions not stayed 
Authorities stand firm. Say these teething troubles 
HRD ministry yet to decide on reviewing changes in IIT JEE 
IITs say changes were brought 
about in haste and have complicated matters 
    Normalization formula to be revisited as some analysts believe there need to be more ‘fields’ or ‘queries’ to create the 
standardized measure and hence the ranking of the Boards 
    Coaching institutes say normalization process makes it difficult for deserving candidates 
    IIT alumnis to begin agitation July-end to protest new system
