Big news for engineering course aspirants! Joint Entrance exams (JEE Advanced) will be conducted on the internet 2018 onwards. It is mandatory to clear JEE for getting admission in the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) offering Engineering courses after secondary school.
The decision was taken by Joint Admission Board (JAB), the policy-making body for IIT admissions, at a meeting in Chennai on Sunday to make logistics and evaluations easier.
Earlier this year, the body faced flak with several students raising objections over mistakes in some questions in both the papers of JEE Advanced. After that, IIT Madras decided to award 18 bonus marks to all the students appearing in the examination. This move was strongly resisted by a student and the matter eventually reached the Supreme Court.
“IIT Madras will file an affidavit in the court how such mistakes will not be made in the future. One of the ways includes conducting the exam online,” said an HRD official.
Students will be allotted appropriate centers where they will have to answer questions on a computer instead of paper. Sounds convenient. But, not for those who don’t know how to use or are not comfortable using a computer.
