JEE MAIN 2016: Guidelines for filling up the form

Every year I get so many queries related to filing of the JEE MAIN form. To make sure you don't commit any mistake I am suggesting the guidelines for filling it.

1. Application form will be available from December 1, 2015 to 31 December 2015. 

2. Select which paper you want to appear in.
    Paper-1 : For admission in B.Tech/B.E courses.

3. Decide on mode of examination.

4. Keep your Class X mark sheet by your side so that no discrepancy arises in names and year                 of appearance.

SRM University 2016 ADMISSION ANNOUNCEMENT

LAST DATE TO APPLY is 15 March 2016

Government Panel Suggests Regulatory Body for Coaching Institutions But Seems Unlikely

COURTESY: TELEGRAPH

The government is unlikely to crack down on coaching institutes, although a committee set up by the IIT Council had recommended a regulatory regime.

Sources familiar with the government's possible approach said the HRD ministry would reject the Ashok Mishra panel's suggestion to set up an All India Council for Coaching for Entrance Examinations (AICCEE) to regulate fees charged by coaching institutes and ensure a minimum standard.

The panel, headed by IIT Roorkee chairman Mishra, had said coaching was a lucrative "industry" worth approximately Rs 24,000 crore a year.

Two members of the panel argued that when technical education regulator AICTE could regulate private engineering colleges, the proposed AICCEE would do the same job for coaching institutions.

The AICCEE, they said, should allow only those institutes that maintain a good faculty and facilities and don't make false claims.

The Mishra panel, set up to examine whether the existing two-tier test - the JEE -Main for admissions to NITs and the JEE -Advanced for IITs - for taking in BTech students could be merged, said the purpose of education was mental refinement, not passing an entrance exam.

But Satya Narayanan R., chairman of Career Launcher, a coaching institute, said the government could not restrict individuals or institutes from offering a service against a fee mutually agreed upon by the provider and the client.

Many state governments, he said, provide funds to students from socially disadvantaged groups so that they can enrol in coaching institutes to crack exams that have to be cleared to enter the IITs, other top tech schools or the civil services.

"Coaching will never stop as long as there is a gap between demand for good institutions and scant supply," Narayanan said.

Earlier, another panel, headed by Rajat Moona, director-general of the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, had found that the impact of coaching had increased since the system of giving weightage to board marks was introduced in 2013 for admissions to NITs.

It said that 14.63 per cent of candidates who appeared for the 2012 All India Engineering Entrance Examination, which became the JEE Main in 2013, had admitted to having been coached. In 2013 and 2014, this percentage increased to 18.15 and 18.89.

NO CHANGE IN JEE 2016 FORMAT

SOURCE: HINDUSTAN TIMES

Students preparing for IIT and NIT entrance exams should prepare well for their Class 12 exams as the HRD ministry has decided that there will be no change in the pattern of joint entrance examination (JEE) 2016.

Putting an end to the confusion over a change in the pattern of JEE 2016, the human resource development (HRD) ministry has decided to continue the same pattern of JEE 2015 under which 40% weight is given to board marks and 60% to the JEE-Main score.

“We have received the report of the committee and it will be studied in detail. However, as only a few months are left for the entrance exams we want to give ample time to students to prepare and hence have decided not to make any changes to the format right now,” said a senior HRD official requesting anonymity.

A sub-committee of the National Institutes of Technology (NIT) council had recommended that Class 12 board marks should not be taken into account for admissions in NITs. However, HRD minister Smriti Irani had formed another committee to examine the issue. The ministry has received the report and its recommendations, if accepted, will be applicable only in 2017.
