sir,<br /> <br /> Very good sir,/Good meaning ful decission <br /> <br /> It means the eligibility creteria @ 60% of board marks will be considered not top 20 percentile creteria (as like old pattern) for selection based on the ranks , in advanced is it correct sir ? pl clarify <br /> krishna
sir what is the final percentile of boards for iit
Students of state boards where first and second year marks are accounted for overall score, were not aware of the criteria while writing the first year exams. This would put a seal on such students as they may not get a second chance as they would never qualify for the top 20 percentile.
I am appreciating the parents of nine students and the Forum for fairness in education for filing the petition in Bombay High Court .This UPA Govt. is spoiling the future of lakhs of students. The opposition is also mum about this matter as they will not gain more voter regarding this matter.Only court will help to solve this problem.What about the 2012 passed student fate, as per earlier norms of iitjee and aieee, students are eligible to write the exam in two times. As per new norms they are not eligible as they are not coming in 20 percentile.What they will do? Some state Boards are not conducting the improvement exam ? This is unfair and unilateral decision taken by CBSE Board and not bothering the lakhs of students future and life.At least 2012 student should be exempted from this 20 percentile norms.Kindly I request HRD Ministry and CBSE to consider my request. The forum for fairness in education and Nine student parents have taken bold and right decision. I pray the god to get the right judgement in favor of them.
So student who passed 12th board in 2012 with 60% and above can get entrance to IIT K
