In reference to admission notice for JEE(Main) 2017 published in the news papers on 22/11/2016 regarding provision of Aadhaar at the time of filling online application for JEE (Main) 2017, following is being clarified ;

 1. The use of Aadhaar for the applicants of JEE (Main) 2017 will result in accuracy of the applicants’ details. This will also help in ascertaining identities of the applicants at the examination centres in a convenient and hassle free manner. Aadhaar obviates the need for producing multiple documents to prove one’s identity.

 2. The provisions of the Aadhaar Act and Regulations under the Act have come into effect from 14th September, 2016 and notifications to this effect have been published in the Official Gazette. Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act 2016 permits the use of Aadhaar number for establishing the identity of an individual for any purpose pursuant to any law or any contract to this effect. 

3. Accordingly, CBSE has decided to use Aadhaar for the applicants of JEE (Main) 2017, and hereby notifies the following:
 3.1 Applicants who are in possession of Aadhaar, shall enter Aadhaar number, name, date of birth & gender in online application for JEE (Main) 2017 for the purpose of his/her identity and authentication thereof. 
3.2 Applicants not yet enrolled for Aadhaar, are hereby required to make application for Aadhaar enrolment in case he/she is entitled to obtain Aadhaar as per section 3 of Aadhaar Act. Such applicant may visit any Aadhaar enrolment center (list available at www.uidai.gov.in) to get enrolled for Aadhaar.
 3.3 In order to facilitiate such applicants who are not having Aadhaar, the CBSE has specially set up facilitation centres in each city of examination for the purpose of Aadhaar enrolment. The applicants can approach such facilitation centres who will not charge any amount from any applicant for Aadhaar enrolment. The list of the facilitation centre is available on www.jeemain.nic.in. These applicants who have enrolled for Aadhaar and have not received Aadhaar should enter 28 digit Aadhaar Enrolment ID printed on the Aadhaar enrolment slip at the time of filling online application form for JEE(Main) 2017.
 3.4 In case Aadhaar enrolment facility is not available at the facilitation centres, the applicants should submit a request for Aadhaar enrolment. The facilitation centre will issue a registration number to such applicants. This registration number should be entered by the applicants at the time of filling online application form for JEE(Main) 2017. 

4. A Circular to all CBSE affiliated schools is being issued for the awareness of applicants regarding the requirement of Aadhaar to apply for JEE (Main) 2017.

5. The above provisions shall be applicable in all states except J&K, Assam & Meghalaya.

6.

Its Raining PPOs at IITs this year

COURTESY: ET

Pre-placement offers to students at the Indian Institutes of Technology have scaled a record high this year, indicating a bumper recruitment season ahead amid growing inclination among leading employers to hire through the tried-and-tested internship route. 

The number of offers at some IITs has already shot up about a third than that a year ago, officials said, even as companies have more than two weeks left to snap up talent through PPOs from the premier engineering institutes. 

IIT-BHU in Varanasi has already registered more than 32% jump in the number of PPOs to 94 from 71in the whole of last year. At IIT Roorkee, the number of PPOs has seen a 27% increase to 108 so far, from 85 a year ago. 

Placement officers and students at other IITs including those in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kharagpur and Guwahati said the institutes are seeing an increase in PPOs, with most of them recording the highest number of offers ever this year. 

IIT Kharagpur has so far received 170 PPOs, close to what it received in the entire last year. The institute is confident of crossing at least 200 this year, officials said. IIT Madras is also within touching distance of last year's final tally of 69, having received 63 PPOs already.

PROPOSAL OF SINGLE ENTRANCE TEST FOR ENGINEERING COLLEGE

COURTESY: The Telegraph
The government is considering a proposal to have all the deemed universities and engineering colleges admit their students through the Joint Entrance Examination Main and common counselling.
Such single-window admission, the human resource development ministry believes, will help ensure standards across colleges and curb the racket of capitation fee-driven teaching shops.
Admission to medical and dental courses is already governed by a common exam. The Supreme Court recently ruled that all medical and dental colleges and deemed universities must admit students through the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test, allowing certain exemptions only for this year.
"We are looking at a proposal to have all the engineering institutions admit students through the JEE Main," a senior ministry official said.
Sources said the University Grants Commission, the higher education regulator, might be asked to pass such a regulation.
The Central Board of Secondary Education conducts the JEE Main, which now regulates admission to the National Institutes of Technology, the Indian Institutes of Information Technology and state-level engineering colleges in places such as Haryana and Gujarat.
The JEE Main also functions as a screening test for the JEE Advanced, which governs admissions to the Indian Institutes of Technology.
Currently, JEE Main-based admission to national-level institutes is done through a national-level process of common counselling. If and when all the institutions start admitting students through the JEE Main, separate state-level common counselling processes will have to be held.
Sources said that if a state does not want to conduct common counselling for its engineering colleges, these institutions might be allowed their individual counselling processes - but they must be a transparent online exercise.
Common counselling is key to checking the illegal practice, adopted by some institutions, of allowing candidates to leapfrog rivals higher on the merit list by paying hefty capitation fees. In case of common counselling, done online, institutes cannot breach the merit list.
More than 100 entrance tests are now held - at the state and institution levels - for admission to the country's 4,000 engineering colleges, forcing candidates to travel to multiple centres. A single entrance test and common counselling will bring relief to lakhs of aspiring engineers.
Most of India's 123 deemed universities now admit students through their own entrance tests and counselling processes. There are instances of candidates getting impersonators to take the test on their behalf to secure higher scores.
In 2012, the human resource development ministry had unsuccessfully tried to persuade all engineering colleges to admit students through the JEE Main. This time it's thinking of making the directive mandatory.

High Court's intervention opened IIT doors

SOURCE: HINDUSTAN TIMES
The Punjab and Haryana high court’s intervention has opened IIT doors for a Karnal student.
Nayan Bansal, who had secured 13,060th rank in the Joint Engineering Examination (JEE) advanced had failed to get admission in any of the IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) or Indian School of Mines (ISM) in the six rounds of counselling conducted by Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) and the IIT Guwahati, the organising chairman of the JEE advanced (2016). However, seeing that seats were vacant in several IITs after counselling was over on July 20, the student had represented to authorities to give him admission in any of the college, where seats were lying vacant. As his representation was not heeded to, he approached the high court on July 28 with the same prayer seeking directions to admit him against any of the vacant seat.
This year, of the total 9,660 seats in IITs, as many as 73 seats have remained vacant after six rounds of counselling. In ISM, as per government report in high court, 23 seats had remained vacant out of total 912 due to non-joining of candidates, who were allotted these seats.

The high court held that the petition of the student deserved to be allowed and directed that the student be preferably admitted in IIT Ropar, since there was a seat vacant at the institute.
The high court bench of justice GS Sandhawalia took note of the various previous judgments passed by the high court in such matters and also that at the time of filling in choice of institutes the student had locked all the 233 choices in all 23 IITs/ISM in all disciplines/streams on July 29, thereby “showing his willingness” to join the BTech and other allied courses any of the institute.
For future, the high court bench advised the IITs to fill all the seats lying vacant even after completion of the last round of counselling by resorting to spot round counselling.
