cut-offs to vary across boards

In a quirky scenario, a student of the West Bengal class 12 board will 
need just 58% to be eligible to take the IIT-Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) 
next year while an aspirant from the Tamil Nadu board will have to score
 nearly 78% to make the cut. 

Preliminary data of seven boards across the country shows that the percentage required to be in the top 20 percentile — a necessary condition to be eligible for IIT-JEE next year — will vary for different boards.

The new pattern for IIT will have two exams— mains and advanced.

The final rank will depend on the performance in the advanced exam, provided a student is in the top 20 percentile of his or her board.

So far, the eligibility criterion for IITs was that a student should score a minimum of 60%. 

The new pattern changes all that. So, if you're a student who wants to make it to the top 20 percentile bracket this year, you'd have to score 77.8% in the CBSE board, 78.1% in the Tamil Nadu board, 67.5% in Karnataka, 65% in Uttar Pradesh, 64% in Madhya Pradesh and just 58% in the West Bengal board exam.
These figures would apply only for general category students. 

 

 For students seeking to take the test under various quotas, it would be less.
Separate data will be compiled for these categories soon.

AIEEE re-test on May 11

Following the leak of the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) paper conducted by the CBSE over the weekend, the examination for those who could not appear for it has been scheduled for May 11.

A Human Resource Development Ministry spokesperson said: “The 32,000 students who could not take the AIEEE can appear for it on May 11. Professor Phalguni Gupta of Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur is heading a committee which will enquire into the leak and submit a report within four weeks.”

The leaked paper had resulted in widespread chaos for students across the country.
