IIT JEE Pattern will remain unchanged
Next year’s Joint Entrance Examination for admission to the 15 IITs will be held on April 10 and the pattern of the test will remain unchanged, the Joint Admission Board decided.
The board, which oversees the entrance test, met at IIT Kanpur and decided to stick to the current pattern for 2011 as a panel of IIT directors, set up to revamp the system, had not yet submitted its report.
IIT Kanpur will be in charge of JEE 2011.
Students will have to answer questions in the same subjects — mathematics, chemistry and physics — as in JEE 2010 and in the same format.
The IIT-JEE was in the news this year for misleading instructions. Human resource development minister Kapil Sibal had to intervene and the Joint Admission Board had to devise a special formula to evaluate the papers.
The government wants to change the JEE format and replace it with an aptitude test. A committee headed by IIT Kharagpur director Damodar Acharya is preparing a report on the proposed evaluation system, which plans to give more importance to Class XII board marks.
