IIT-JEE 2013: IIT faculty to be more involved in key decisions

IIT faculty will now be increasingly involved in key decision-making process on the matter of common tests to ensure broader consensus at different levels according to the HRD Ministry.

The decision to involve IIT in the key decision-making has been taken in view of the recent controversies related to the proposed single test to undergraduate programmes despite the approval of the IIT Council comprising IIT Directors.  The decision will also help eliminate differences arising later on.

Recently, IIT Kanpur recommended that a separate committee should be set up and include representatives nominated by Senates of IITs to advise the Joint Admission Board (JAB) on the nature of the IIT entrance test for 2014 and the process of admission.

IIT- Kanpur accepted the common entrance test (CET) which will be based on percentile ranking as an interim measure only for 2013.
