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.

JEE MAIN 2017 NOTIFICATION: AADHAR MANDATORY

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.

NEET I and II combined results challenged in Supreme Court

SOURCE: LIVEMINT

The legal battle over the National Entrance cum Eligibility Test (NEET) for admission to medical colleges is set to continue. The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreeing to hear a fresh plea seeking the combined result of NEET phase I and phase II be set aside on the grounds that the question papers were of different “difficulty levels”.

The fresh petition alleged that NEET II was tougher than NEET I and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) came out with a common result without “normalisation” or rationalisation of marks obtained by the medical aspirants in these two tests.

The plea, filed by a Bihar based medical aspirant Shivangi Singh who has already been selected in the combined result, was mentioned before a bench of justices A. R. Dave and L. Nageswara Rao for urgent hearing.

The bench agreed to hear the matter along with the other pending petitions on the issue next week. “Set aside/quash the combined result of NEET-I and NEET -II (UG) for sessions 2016-2017 prepared and declared on 16 August 2016 by CBSE by combining raw scores of candidates treating the same to be a single test and direct CBSE to prepare All India Merit List/rank on percentile basis after adopting ‘normalisation’ method for NEET-I and NEET-II test conducted on 1 May and 24 July,” the plea filed through advocate Manoj Singh said.

The plea said the declaration of combined result without normalising the marks obtained in by candidates in NEET-I and II was “illegal and unconstitutional and violative of their fundamental rights under Article 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution”.

It said that treating NEET-I and II conducted on two different dates with two different sets of questions with different difficulty level as one single exam for determining the rank of candidates without applying the “normalisation” formula, amounted to placing NEET-I candidates higher in All India Ranking vis-a-vis candidates from NEET-II with poor score due to difference in difficulty level.

The plea also sought direction for appointing an independent committee of experts to ascertain the difference in difficulty level of the questions of NEET-I and II and applicability of “normalisation” method. The petitioner also sought direction to CBSE to rectify the errors in answer keys in question booklet of NEET-II and quash the wrong answers with a further direction to declare her result after making correction.

JEE 2017 Changes: Official Notification

NEET-II SOLUTIONS AND ANALYSIS

Well after so much of drama and legal processes second phase of NEET was conducted today.

Click below for the answer key of the paper

CHEMISTRY

PHYSICS

BIOLOGY

Physics Analysis

Paper was overall a balanced paper with almost equal number of questions from class XI and XII Syllabus. Most of the questions were almost covered in all coaching institutes material. The question from X ray is beyond the prescribed syllabus. The dielectric question had a fundamental flaw. Overall it was almost similar to NEET 1 paper.
A score of 115+ is a good score.

CHEMISTRY ANALYSIS

Chemistry was tougher than than NEET 1. Some questions specially in organic were way beyond the syllabus students study.
A score of 120+ is a good score.

BIOLOGY ANALYSIS
This was perhaps the easiest one and we expect students to score very well here. Almost all questions were NCERT based. Botany was very easy. Good students will be scoring 300+ here. Though if compared to NEET 1 it’s marginally tougher.

I believe if they do normalization NEET 2 students should get a slight jump.
