IIT-JEE panel for 70 pct weightage to Class-XII marks

IIT-JEE panel for 70 pct weightage to Class-XII marks

Tags : IIT Roorki, IIT, class XII Board Posted: Mon Jun 28 2010, 19:39 hrs New Delhi:

Seventy per cent weightage should be given to Class-XII performance of students while selecting them for prestigious IITs, a high level panel has recommended.

The panel comprising directors of IIT-Kharagpur, IIT-Madras, IIT-Bombay and IIT-Roorki has suggested that the IIT-JEE will be replaced by a broad-based National Aptitude Test (NAT). Thirty per cent weightage should be given to the NAT, the panel has said.

"The committee has submitted a draft report. It has favoured 70 per cent weightage to class-XII Board performance of students and 30 per cent to NAT," HRD Minister Kapil Sibal told said.

The proposed NAT will shortlist about 40,000 students who will be again called for another add-on test, the panel has said.

The successful candidates in the add-on test will be eligible for admission to any of the 15 IITs

The proposed NAT will be a comprehensive examination to test the students' raw talent than limiting it to certain specific subjects or objective type questions.

The committee, headed by IIT Kharagpur director Damodar Acharya, has submitted the draft report after holding country-wide consultations.

Sibal said the ministry has not accepted the suggestions yet and will take the matter to the IIT Council.

"We will take it to IIT Council after which the government will take a decision," the minister said.

According to an IIT director, the proposed NAT will have questions from all streams, including Science and Humanities of Class-XII level.

Sibal had set up the committee in February this year to study the existing JEE structure and suggest improvement in it.

The weightage on Class XII marks while preparing the cut-off for the admission into these elite institutes will discourage students from going to private coaching institutes.

At present, the IITs are taking students on the basis of cut-off prepared in view of the marks scored by students in IIT Joint Entrance Examination. Consideration of Class XII marks in the cut-off would ensure that meritorious students get into the IIT stream.

AP says no to Sibal’s ‘common curriculum’ | Deccan Chronicle | 2010-06-20

AP says no to Sibal’s ‘common curriculum’ | Deccan Chronicle | 2010-06-20

Hyderabad/New Delhi, June 19: The Andhra Pradesh government has made it clear that it does not endorse nor is it a part of the “common national curriculum” for science and mathematics at the senior secondary level as announced by the Union minister for human resource development, Mr Kapil Sibal, in New Delhi on Saturday.

Reacting to the media reports that the education ministers of all states had endorsed the Centre’s proposal to have a common curriculum on Saturday, the Andhra Pradesh minister for secondary education, Mr D. Manikya Vara Prasada Rao, said, “Neither am I aware of any such meeting nor did I attend it. We have no plans to change the existing Intermediate syllabus in the state. “We cannot take any hasty decision. The issue should be debated on at length among all the stakeholders,” he said.

When it was pointed out to Mr Vara Prasada Rao that a common curriculum will save student from appearing for multiple exams, he said, “Even IIT-JEE and AIEEE are conducted separately though both are for admissions into engineering courses at a national level. Let the Centre first integrate both these exams and then it can think of integrating the syllabus and exams of various states.” “There is no need to change the Intermediate syllabus in the state as it has proved to be of highest standards. A major chunk of seats in IIT, AIEEE and other national-level competitive exams are bagged by students from Andhra Pradesh every year. Almost all the top-10 ranks in IIT-JEE and AIEEE were bagged by our students this year. As far as the Centre’s proposal is concerned, it can only give us a suggestion. It cannot direct us as education is in the concurrent list and any decision has to be taken by the state government alone,” Mr Vara Prasada Rao said.

The common curriculum proposal seems to have not gone down well even with the officials of higher education department. They said the 20 states that endorsed the proposal were smaller states.

Good job, dear minister. You need to stand up for what you believe is correct and fight till the end. Please garner support from all major stakeholders for this and from other states as well if possible. Please do not let go the advantage of AP with this.

Panel suggests 70% weight for Class 12 marks in IIT entry
TNN, Jun 24, 2010, 02.00am IST

Tags:IIT|Kapil Sibal|JEE|hrd ministry
NEW DELHI: In what may mark a major shift away from the current scheme of admission to the country's bluechip engineering institutions, an HRD ministry panel has recommended 70% weightage to class XII marks and 30% for performance in an aptitude test to be conducted more than once a year, for the IIT-Joint Entrance Examination.

A cut-off list on the basis of the class XII result and the aptitude test will be prepared in the month of June every year and the top 40,000 will have to take the additional test for IITs. Right now, more than four lakh students appear for IIT-JEE in a single test.

The panel headed by Damodar Acharya, director of IIT Kharagpur, that gave its report to HRD minister Kapil Sibal on Wednesday, has also suggested that the aptitude test be an ongoing affair which students can take more than once.

However, the best score in the aptitude test -- which will have questions on reasoning, numerical ability and communication skills -- should be taken into account. It is only the add-on test for the top students that will have questions on physics, mathematics and chemistry. However, the panel has put a restriction on the number of times the add-on test can be taken.

Also, unlike the present system, right at the beginning, students will have to give their choice of IIT or other institutes -- like Indian Institute of Science Education & Research -- whose admission test is conducted through JEE. Students will also have to spell out their choice of branch of engineering or stream of pure science.

HRD sources said the ministry's first task would be to bring all state boards as well as CBSE on par with each other by developing a comprehensive weighted performance index so that there is no gross inequality among them and students do not suffer. Already, a core science and mathematics syllabus has been mooted by the HRD ministry and approved by the Council of Board of Secondary Education. "The move will ensure that students from small towns and even those who cannot afford expensive coaching can aim to be in IITs," a source said.

its not the question of necessity. coaching classes help you go in the right path, help you to select the correct books, guide you in your doubts, help you in all other ways.

even i dint join coaching and wasted my 11th thinking that am preparing correctly but i was wrong. now i have joined fiitjee and am gonna give jee2011.

i think its best you join a coaching class as it will make your preparation easier.

all the best.

Police will keep data of students coming to Kota

Police will keep data of students coming to Kota - Jaipur - City - The Times of India

Rao Jaswant Singh, TNN, Jun 14, 2010, 06.29am IST
JAIPUR: For the first time, the Rajasthan police has decided to prepare a database of all the students coming to Kota from other places to ensure their safety and security.

According to sources, details like permanent address, contact number and the name of local guardian will be collected which would help the police in cracking the case if any untoward incident happens.

Nearly 80,000 students from all over the country come to Kota every year for preparing for various competitive examinations like IIT-JEE, AIPMT and AIEEE, among others. In the recent past, there have been several incidents in which students from other states were targeted by criminals. Also, ‘non-serious’ students were found indulging in criminal activities.

Recently, IG, Kota, Rajeev Dasot held a meeting of two DySPs and SHOs of Vigyan Nagar, Mahaveer Nagar, Dadabari and Jawahar Nagar police stations under which coaching institutes are located. During the meeting, he directed them to gather details of all the students coming to coaching institutes and hostels from the current session.

Talking to TOI, the IG said that a few local criminals have entered the coaching industry by setting up hostels and mess services and there is a chance that aspirants might fall prey to them. “While generating database, police will also collect details of those who run hostels and mess services in the city. There are several students who are not-so-serious about preparations and have been sent to Kota forcibly by their parents,” he said. “Such students, if found indulging in criminal acts, would be packed off to their native places,” he said.

Besides, senior police officers would visit coaching institutes and interact with students so that they could approach them directly in case of any emergency. Patrolling has also been increased in areas where coaching centres, hostels and messes are located, the IG said.

Recently, soon after two students were caught stealing mobile phones, police started keeping a tab on the activities of suspected students. Those who spend more time outside coaching classes and are involved in non-academic activities are already under police scanner, said an official. Nearly 15 students, who are suspected to be involved in criminal activities to make quick money, have already been identified, he said.

CEO of Career Point, Pramod Maheshwari said that the coaching institutes will welcome the move as it is an effort by the police for the benefit of students. However, police stations are yet to get fully computerized. Therefore, there might be challenges in the effective implementation of the new measures, he said.

Recent incidents:

March 2010: An engineering student, Yogesh Chaudhary (22), a native of Mathura, was found hanging from a tree in front of his rented accommodation in Riddhi Siddhi area of Kota.

December 2009: Two IIT-JEE aspirants - Nitin Prakash and Deepak Soni - arrested for mobile phone thefts. Eighteen mobile phones and a motorcycle were seized and cases were filed against them at three police stations.

October 2009: Ritu Yadav (20) of Jhajjar district of Haryana committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling of her room in Mahaveer Nagar of Kota. She was preparing for medical entrance examination in a city-based coaching centre.

September 2009: An engineering aspirant and a native of Bhind district in MP, Anand Singh (19), committed suicide in his room.

September 20: A native of Alwar and PMT aspirant, Nisha (17), committed suicide by jumping before a train near Keshavrai Patan village.

Thapar University rated AAA+ in a survey by Careers360 Rating of engineering colleges by Outlook group

New Delhi, Delhi, June 14, 2010 /India PRwire/ -- Thapar University, Patiala, one of India's top technical universities, has been rated AAA+ in an independent rating survey conducted by the Outlook group.

A survey by Career 360 (flagship magazine of Pathfinder Publishing Pvt. Ltd) rated the University AAA+. IITs; NITs and deemed universities across 24 states were surveyed for the ratings. Thapar University is the only University from Punjab to get an AAA+ rating.

Dr. Abhijit Mukherjee, Director, Thapar University said, "At Thapar University we believe in promoting superior quality technical education and this rating has validated our efforts. This would not have been possible without the support of every Thaparian. It's a proud moment for everybody at the University and will encourage us to do better in the years to come."

Rating Methodology

Institutions were grouped into three major categories, based on their entrance examinations: the IIT-JEE institutions, AIEEE institutions and the state-level institutions. The private and deemed universities have been grouped separately. For rating of state-level engineering colleges, which form the bulk of the 3000-plus colleges in the country, the database provided by the departments of technical education, or formal committees such as the Admission Committee for Professional Courses, or higher education councils mandated by the state were looked into.

Notes to Editor

About Thapar University

The Thapar University is today recognized among the leading privately managed grant-in-aid engineering institutions of the country and the best of its kind in the north-western region of India. NAAC, an Autonomous Institution of UGC, has reaccredited Thapar University and award A Grade.

The TTC with its three institutions viz, TU, TP and TCIRD, is today a unique Campus in our country with extraordinary potential for development of indigenous technology and its engineering industries.

A Centre of Relevance and Excellence (CORE) has been set up at Thapar University by TIFAC Mission REACH of Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India in its first phase of setting up eight CORES at various Institutes and Universities spread all over the country.

Online Education - The Latest Buzzword in India

Online Education - The Latest Buzzword in India

Written by Admin
Tuesday, 15 June 2010 20:26

Breaking News: Virtual world is the new real world! Everything is taking an online avatar. It started with information, followed by our mailboxes, businesses and now the latest to the join the bandwagon is education.



Wit [Online Education] h a sea of info already on the net and education getting online, the pieces of jigsaw puzzle have come closer for a fence-sitter.



There are three dimensions of this online education industry in India. First dimension is comprised of those web portals which teach subjects like Mathematics and science via net using e-books, video lectures both recorded and live.



However, in India this concept is very new and not many use it. But there are many Indian web portals which provide such services to foreign students.



The arrival of digital content and smart classes at schools constitutes the second dimension. This concept has revolutionized the study methodology at the school level. Educomp, a major player in online education industry, has been encashing the huge demand in this sector.



The third dimension in this online education boom is e-mentoring. A very good thing about the internet is that it allows you to interact with a number of people without a need to travel.



With so many courses, cut-throat competition, parental and peer pressure, the fight to survive in the academic battle field has become very difficult.



Under such conditions, skill-enhancement, counseling and educational therapies have acquired a pivotal role. That is why portals like PagalGuy & PadhakuJoker are doing a good business in their segment.



These sites allow community building on the basis of same educational requirements, online discussion and a multi-way information exchange.



A major development in the field of online education was getting CAT (Common Admission Test) conducted online. In 2009, with an online CAT, things started changing with a rapid speed.



It has opened up a new area to be explored. TCYonline, a online testing platform has been making a good progress for last two years. Even CAT and IIT-JEE coaching institutes have gone online so that they do not miss out any opportunity and are able to attract students.



E-learning in India is gaining prominence slowly, but steadily. The fact that more than half the population of India today is below 30 years of age and the number of Internet users is growing tremendously act as catalysts in making e-learning a greener spot.



Another aspect to this phenomenon is that e-learning in India has become very popular with the young professionals who have joined the work force quite early but still would like to continue their education which would eventually help them move up their career ladder quickly and easily. Such people find online education very convenient, as the nature of the course does not require them to attend regular classes.



Moreover, elite institutes like Indian Institute of Management, Indian Institute of Technology, IIFT, and XLRI are today offering e-learning courses. With a young population which is addicted to internet and social networking sites, online education has become indispensable. However, to maintain its quality would be a challenge.

HYDERABAD: A G Reddy, an ex-serviceman, decided to give up his job in the Army several years ago to help his two children with their academics.

The risky move paid off on Wednesday when his son A Janardhan Reddy came out at the top of the engineering stream of Eamcet, the results of which were announced on Wednesday. Janardhan, a native of Guntur district , scored 159 marks in the test.

However, final rankings in the exam will be known only when the 25 per cent weightage given to the Intermediate examination --held up due to the prolonged revaluation exercise this year -- is factored into the Eamcet rankings.

Celebrating his son’s success, Reddy recalled how difficult it had been for him to quit his job as a senior clerk in the Army. “When I was posted in New Delhi, I was unhappy about the standard of teaching imparted to my children in the Kendriya Vidyalaya. So I decided to come back to Andhra Pradesh to give my children better education, despite knowing that I was not well placed financially.

I had completed 18 years of service and was left with several years of service,’’ Reddy told Express.

Being a senior clerk, Reddy and his family had access to service comforts in the Army. “I had to choose between my career and my children’s career. I chose my children,’’ he said. After quitting the job, Reddy did small jobs in the army quarters to support his family.

Janardhan Reddy, who stood seventh in the IIT-JEE, has been a winner in all the major competitive exams held this year.

Slowdown in IIT coaching at Kota

Slowdown in IIT coaching at Kota-Education-Services-News By Industry-News-The Economic Times

JAIPUR: The IIT coaching industry in Kota is likely to witness a downslide in coming years. And with this, the overall economy of the city, which is largely based on IIT-JEE coaching, would plummet to an extent of 15%.

Pramod Maheshwari, director (academics) of Career Point, a leading coaching institute in the country, told ET the number of IIT aspirants coming to the city has died down considerably after the chance-restriction. “With government restricting aspirants’ IIT-attempts to only twice in consecutive years, students are now aiming at AIEEE and state pre-engineering tests to ensure a berth for themselves.

It will result into an overall shrinkage of 15% in the annual turnover of the coaching industry, which is estimated to be sitting at Rs 250 crore,” Mr Maheshwari pointed out.

Institutes, however, are gearing up to fight out the situation. Career Point is planning to launch an IPO to raise funds for their diversification plans. “We would be the first IIT coaching institute to go public. By raising around Rs 60 crore, we would initiate international educational programmes to cater to the global needs,” Mr Maheshwari informed.

Every year more than 20000 students land at Kota to realise their IIT dreams. Of which, around 1,500 students succeed, which is one-thirds of the total seats of IITs and allied institutes. Now that the chance restriction has come into play for the first time this year, number of students coming to Kota is going to fall in the coming session.

The trend was quite evident in the last IIT-JEE examination. In 2006, more than 3 lakh students appeared for the IIT-JEE while this year, less than 2.5 lakh competed for around 4,600 seats. “Now to match last year’s turnover, institutes either will have to hike the fee or add other courses like AIEEE and state pre-engineering tests. Also, there would be a question of survival for feeble players, who rely on students failing to get admission in top-of-the-line coaching institutes,” Mr Maheshwari feared.

Top IIT coaching institute Bansal Classes has now forayed into pre-medical coaching also. It has recently started its pre-medical unit in Jaipur. However, PK Bansal, CEO of Bansal Classes, maintaining that IIT coaching business is running smooth, said, “We have started pre-medical coaching on an experimental basis in Jaipur only. It’s nothing to do with IIT coaching, which is our main thrust. Chance-restriction would not have any impact on us, since we have limited seats and long queue of aspirants in waiting,” Mr Bansal said.

Apart from coaching institutes, hostel owners and other ancillary businesses have started feeling the heat. “Last year, we were 150% booked. And this year only 75% rooms are occupied. We are expecting further fall in accommodation in the next session,” Sharad Kapoor, a hostel owner, said.

A puzzling story of IIT Delhi

This is a story one of my friends at Bansal classes tells most of his students (taken from another site). Interesting.

. A Puzzling Story of IIT Delhi .

"One day, when I was a third year student, one of my friends woke up very late (as usual in IITs). He got ready quickly without having his breakfast and rushed to his department from his hostel premises. When he entered the building and pushed the lift button he knew by that time the classes must have been started. Then suddenly what happened! The professor who was to deliver lecture in his class also came there for lift. That time the lift used to have a maximum capacity of five people and the lift already had four. So the student, to show respect for him allowed the professor for the lift. And he had to run up the stairs to his class which was on fourth or third floor (I forgot which one). When he reached his class…but alas! The professor had completed the attendance.



THE BIG QUESTION: Now what should have the professor done? Should he have ticked his name considering his good behavior? Or should he have not ticked his name considering he was late?"
