October, 2012 : JEE Mains Application Form
There will not be any physical sale of forms. The forms will be filled up ‘Online’ only. The forms will be available on JEE-Main website. The form will be available from 1st Nov 2012 only.
August 27, 2012 : Multiple Choice Questions only for JEE Advanced
JAB (Joint Admission Board) of IIT had been contemplating on the pattern of JEE Advanced. Though of it was the suggestion of many IIT council members that the test should include subjective questions, but it has been decided that for the 2013 exam, the pattern will be only MCQ. The pattern might be changed from 2014. But as at this time students will not get much time to get adjusted to another change if subjective qs are introduced, the decision of only Multiple Choice Questions has been finalised.
August 08, 2012 : Advance JEE 2013 Exam Dates, Eligibility and Pattern
The percentile based formula that has been debated for some time now has been finally accepted by IITs. The final decision is not much different from the plan proposed by HRD in late May.
Students need to first appear for the Screening Test (JEE Mains). Those who qualify this round can appear for JEE Advanced. It has not been clearly stated who will be setting the paper, but in general it will held under aegis of IITs which is one of saying IITs might not be directly involved.
The tentative date of JEE Advanced is June 2, 2013.
So guys, get ready!

July 28, 2012 : In 2014, IIT JEE and AIEEE may be held separately again
This sounds really shocking. According to the reports, as the elections will be held in April-May 2014, the exam pattern will be decided by IIT bodies and they may revert back to the present system of separate exams of IIT JEE and AIEEE. In 2015, the government will be in power to decide what pattern to be followed.
The students who are presently in class XI will suffer the most with such indecisiveness in the system!
July 27, 2012 : IIT-Bombay polls against 2-tier exam system
IIT B Alumni Association (IITBAA) conducted a poll regarding the proposed JEE pattern. The questions asked were concerning process followed by HRD about the change, threat to autonomy and whether the brand IIT will get diluted by the new pattern.
As per the results, around 85% of students, 70% of the alumni, and 49% of the faculty members were against the new pattern.
June 28, 2012 : Final Compromised Formula
The entire process will consists of two exams – main and advanced – to be held on separate days. While the main exam will be conducted by the CBSE, the advanced exam that is likely to take place about a month after the main exam will be conducted by the IITs. The top 1.5 lakh students from the main exam merit list can take the advanced entrance exam. To be eligible for the IIT merit list the score of the advanced test as well as the condition that the aspirant is in the top 20 percentile of his/her board will be taken into account.
June 22, 2012 :
IIT D Senate has also decided to conduct its own entrance examination. This decision was arrived upon in the Senate meeting on Thursday. IIT K senate is in full support of the decision.
June 21, 2012 :
A compromise formula aimed at breaking the deadlock between teachers and HRD minister Kapil Sibal over admissions to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) could end up hurting hundreds of thousands of aspiring students.
Under the new formula, only the top 20% students in their respective class 12 board exams would be eligible for appearing in the IIT entrance exam.
Has Sibal gone absolutely crazy???
Read Sibal’s new brainwave ~ Only top 20% students of boards eligible for IIT
May 31, 2012 :
As JEE takes over the AIEEE will be folded up from next year and if all goes to plan so will Maharashtra’s MHT-CET. Rajesh Tope, minister for higher and technical education, said, “I welcome the decision to implement JEE from 2013 itself. Maharashtra’s MHT-CET now has to stop but a final decision will of course be taken in consultation with the school education minister Rajendra Darda.“
May 28, 2012 : Initial announcement about the new combined exam had the following points
(i) A Joint Entrance Examination for admission to the undergraduate programmes in engineering would be conducted in two parts, JEE-MAIN and JEE-ADVANCED.
(ii) The Class XII Board/equivalent marks normalized on percentile basis through an appropriate formula plus the marks obtained in the JEE-MAIN examination, with equal weightage, would be used by IITs for purposes of gating/screening. Only a fixed number of candidates (five times the number of the seats for admission in the IIT system or a pre-fixed cut-off) screened on the basis of merit assessed on the basis of cumulative score of normalized School Board marks and performance in JEE-MAIN examination would be eligible to be considered for admission. The ranking for admission to undergraduate programmes in IITs would be based entirely on the performance in the JEE-ADVANCED examination from amongst the candidates screened through this process.
(iii) For all other Centrally Funded Institutions, there would be 40% weightage for performance in Class XII Board marks normalized on percentile basis through an appropriate formula, 30% weightage for performance in JEE-MAIN and 30% weightage in JEE-ADVANCED and a combined merit decided accordingly.
(iv) JEE-MAIN tests shall be multiple choice objective type paper whereas the nature and modalities of the JEE-ADVANCED shall be determined by the Joint Admission Board of IITs.

(v) The proposed changes will be effective from the year 2013 and both CFTIs and CBSE would work jointly.
(vi) The Joint Admission Board (JAB) of the IIT system would have complete control on matters such as paper setting, evaluation and preparation of the merit list, etc. over the JEE-ADVANCED and CBSE would provide the administrative support for conduct of the examination. For the conduct of the JEE-MAIN examination an expanded Joint Admission Board shall be constituted including the NIT system, other CFTIs and State Government representatives in an appropriate manner. CBSE will provide the administrative and logistic support for the conduct of JEE-MAIN examination across the country.
(vii) The process of establishing co-ordination between COBSE & JAB-IITs for implementation of the core curriculum in sciences and maths across the CBSE, ICSE and State Boards shall be put in place immediately.
(viii) Those students who have appeared in the Class XII Board examinations in 2012 and wish to improve upon their performance can appear again for the Board examinations in 2013. CBSE and State Boards would make appropriate arrangements to facilitate this through a special dispensation.
(ix) The transparency processes established by the IIT system presently and in AIEEE-2012 shall be adopted for the JEE-MAIN and JEE-ADVANCED too.

Why Ministry of HRD is so hurry to implement it from year 2013 ? IIT senate bodies are ignored on this issue. How the normalisation of 42 board marks of Plus Two examination is full proof.The mock evaluation should be carried out for atleat two years and sort our the discrapancies in the present system.How effective you are to control ramphant copies in rural areas. After 3 years the system again to be modified with new system.What about those students who will be victimised ?
Need answers of all those questions ?

Farhan
May 29, 2012 at 6:35 pm
For NITs and IIITs, the merit list will be prepared on 40/30/30 basis of Board marks, JEE Mains and JEE Advanced.
For IITs the cutoff list will be prepared on basis of Board marks and JEE Mains. Then the Rank list will be on basis of JEE Advanced only.
For other colleges and state boards, the details will be made clearer after June 5 meeting only!

How many % in 12th will be enough??? Is 70% good????
Rohit Vimal
May 31, 2012 at 2:37 pm
you can never say! see, 30% weightage will be of 12th marks for NITs and IIITs…. and students in 12th get even 98%. But to be noted is the line “40% weightage for performance in Class XII Board marks normalized on percentile basis through an appropriate formula”… now this so called appropriate formula is not told now…
the system they have used for class 10 now (point system) will be used for class 12th too i think for calculating this 40% weight….

May 31, 2012 at 3:07 pm
By paper news both exams in same day and 50,000 students are selected how may …. it be possible…….
Type of both examination not be clear ………. what??? is syllabus of main and advance examination
What????????? is percentile…………….
Yogendra Chandak
May 31, 2012 at 11:43 pm
percentile is to show how many percentage of score holders lie above or below that score. the maximum score holder gets 100 percentile.
A score or rank at the 25th percentile means that 25% of all the scores are below that score and 75% of all the scores are above that score.
More details regarding syllabus etc have not been announced

Changes in old dynasties and systems have always proved to bE tough in history…
So it is now.
The fact: The common always fails to accept changes.
I am an experimental subject of this test run by the govt. in the current patterns but i welcome it if it promises me a better future to the following batches of students.
The best idea , however , would be, to just to take an aptitude test as it IS the best brains that the IIT requires.
The CAT gets them this way, UPSE or UPSC(whatever it is) has it this way…
The whole of the top colleges of USA have this very way to take out the best of brains.
So when a problem becomes too tough, we should think of the basic productivity of it..
The question is:
What does the govt want from it??
Does it want to reduce the burden ??
Does it want to curb the coaching business which is eating into our vitals?
Does it want to unify the numerous exams that are taking place in the country?
or Does it simply wants to mark its name in the history of India as “The ones who brought changes”??
Are the attempts really needed??
If yes then why?
Is it successful in its attempts with that very motive in mind??
And eventually, if it has any productivity or is it just a futile whim acted upon in haste?

Read today’s newspaper and the headlines said that now Kapil Sibbal has decided that only top 20% boards scorers can give the second exam of JEE!!
I really feel that they are exaggerating this entrance thing way too much!
even if their IIT”s are treated as temples in our country,they should not forget that students appearing for the entrance are humans and therefore should be treated like the same!

I need clarification on following 4 points.Can anybody clarify my doubts ?
1. what will be the students earlier appeared having 60% or more at 12th level but did not qualify in 2012 ? As the earlier provision was of two attempts.
2. ONE who comes under 20 percentile in 2013 but does not qualifies the JEE ADVANCE.if HE GETS an opportunity of second attempt but does not comes under 20 percentile according to new provision now.
3. It is not clear that how many attempts can a candidate make ? As earlier provision was:-
(a) Two attempts in case of iit JEE AND,
(b) Three attempts in case of AIEEE
4. Who will be admitted in the institution other than iits like NITS
AMARESH KUMAR
August 26, 2012 at 12:35 pm
1. Your final marks in CBSE (whether in 2012 or 2013) will be taken into account.
2. As in many boards, the 12th results will probably come AFTER the JEE Advanced, so even if you have given JEE Advanced but when results come you see you do not come in top 20 percentile, then the exam is a waste, one does not qualify.
3. No of attempts have not been mentioned. When the brochures come probably things will be clearer.
4. JEE Mains is equivalent to AIEEE. So the institutions that accepted AIEEE score will now accept JEE Mains scores.
