JEE to be combined with AIEEE, 50 % weightage to class XIIth marks
A common national level test for admission to engineering courses across the country will be introduced from 2013. Under the new scheme, all aspirants will have to take two exams – JEE main and JEE advanced – to be held on the same day. The aspirant’s scores in these 2 exams will determine whether he or she is eligible for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT), NIITs or IIITs, or other state-funded institutions.
For admission to IITs, 50% weightage will be given to the class XIIth results, while for centrally funded institutions which include NIITs and IIITs, it will be 40%.
The new structure has met stiff opposition from students and the IIT faculty alike. What do you think? Should class XIIth marks be given weightage in the selection process for the engineering entrances?
On the other hand, a student wanting to take admission into an engineering college need no longer sit for three to five entrance tests, but just a single test will do. So for over 15 lakh students who sit for engineering entrance exams every year, can this be seen as welcome move?
Good Luck!

It’s unfair to those who studies in state boards like bihar and bengal as they don’t get marks as high as icse and cbse students in genral

I fell its really very good ,
because students don’t need to sit for 3- 5 tests.
where as they will do and try to do much better for their boards..
nice idea ,
but stress wil increase a larger fold .

i don’t know if it’s good or bad, all these years kids used to work hard for iitjee and give less importance to XII exams, but they used to get good ranks, if both are given equal importance ,they will have to double-focus and this will fcourse increase stress.

Counting of XII results is a wonderful move as students will pay attention to their schools too & not just tuition . They should not forget school is the one which made them reach at a level where they could think exams like IIT.

XIIth marks(only PCM) should be given weightage in the selection process for the engineering entrances. But only AIEEE and IIT exam is dropped not VIT , BITSAT , BITS, etc.
