The New IIT-JEE Pattern!

After a heated debate over the pattern of IIT-JEE, this week the pattern was changed following the orders of India's Human Resource Development minister Kapil Sibal. Under the proposed new format, a ranking list will be prepared based on Class XII results with 40 per cent weightage to normalised marks, 30 per cent to main test and 30 per cent to the advanced test (For NIIT's only).  Many of the IIT directors have discussed the details for the Advance test.  Lot of IIT senators were not happy with the decision. 

According to the new format proposed, there will be two exams on the same day namely the Main Test and the Advanced test. All the students will appear for both the exams. In the first test which will be AIEEE level  , 40% weightage will be given to the student's 12TH board result. Out of all the students writing the Advanced Test,  only 50,000 student's copies will be checked based upon there performance in the Main Test. Once you have cracked the Main test, the Advanced Test will be totally independent of all other criteria. Out of the selected 50,000 students writing the Advanced Test, the IIT's will give ranks to the top 10,000 students. 


This new pattern now puts more pressure on the students during their 12TH CLASS because they will have a huge syllabus to cover and will  have to not only prepare for competitions but also for their 12TH board examination. So you have two choices to do something about this...  either you study the 10TH  and 11TH portions thoroughly so that you don't have to come back on it while preparing for competitions or you rebel against Kapil Sibal, which a lot of people are already doing.


BUT DON'T FORGET THAT THIS NEW PATTERN MAKES YOUR 11TH CLASS A GOLDEN PERIOD WHICH YOU MUST UTILIZE.
