New IIT admission rules: Students upset in Kota

The new plan for admission to the IITs has ignited a furore in Kota. Most students say if 70 per cent weightage for entry into the IITs is given to marks in Board exams. The IIT-JEE system will be drastically changed.

And having spent years preparing for the current format, they are worried that the proposed changes could ruin their IIT dream.

“JEE is an analytical exam while CBSE and Board exams basically revolve around mugging up. So, they should give more weightage to IIT exam than Board marks,” said Mohan Kumar, Student and IIT aspirant, Kota.

“This is absolutely wrong. How can you select IIT students on the basis of Board results? The pattern and level of Board exams is entirely different,” asked another IIT aspirant Ramesh Chandra.

Most students and teachers also question the need for any major change when IIT rules have already been changed thrice in the past decade. Teachers say, besides causing confusion for students it’s unfair to give excessive weightage to Board results as different Boards in the country have vastly differing levels.

“It will create lots of practical problems. There are numerous state Boards. Their level, syllabi and papers are totally different, so how can there be a common evaluation through their exams. If somehow they find a system to have some commonality among Boards, the whole country knows how copies are checked in many Boards. I think this new system will breed partiality,” said Pramod Maheshwari, Director, Career Point Institute, Kota.

Clearly, students and teachers in Kota, which produces nearly 40 per cent of successful IIT candidates annually, are in no mood to accept the new format. And the HRD Ministry will need to consider their objections before making any fundamental change.

    Untill now many changes have been done in IIT. The government is not having any exact decision about the country’s education system. In CBSE schools, the pattern of CCE has been changed several times since it has been bought to practice. Please let me know if the selection would done on merit basis or not.
