New IIT entrance format to help select brighter students

The Minister for Human Resource and Development Kapil Sibal has said that the new format of entrance exam for entry into the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) will ensure brighter students getting through to the institutions.While speaking at a function recently held in IIT-Delhi, Sibal said the new system will not replace the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) as speculated, and will give weightage to school board marks."School board exam marks (Class 12) will be given weightage, which will be 40 percent. IIT faculty will set the paper, and the exam will be called JEE only," Sibal said adding that with the coaching system dominating, students were ignoring board exams and focusing on coaching for the JEE.The HRD minister also informed that the exam will be held in two parts, mains and advanced. The first part will be an aptitude test, and the second part will check the student's "depth of knowledge".According to a senior professor from the IIT, the new pattern may be introduced from 2013.
