HRD Minister Kapil Sibal skipped the meeting with the IIT Council to resolve the common entrance exam controversy.
Kapil Sibal is likely to address a press conference at 5:30 pm on the common entrance exam.
It had been earlier decided that main exam be entirely conducted and set by CBSE. The top 1.5 lakh students from this exam will then take the advanced exam.
The proposal to have a common entrance has been resisted by IIT Delhi and IIT Kanpur. IIT Delhi and IIT Kanpur have decided to conduct their own exam.
The directors of Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) had earlier come up with a proposal to get the top 20-30 students based on the percentile ranking of respective boards for preparing the merit list.
According to reports, the percentile criterion replacing the proposed format of giving weightage to board results was planned at the Joint Admission Board meeting which was attended by the IIT directors.

this about only iit's admission what about niit's other centrally funded institutes
What is the fault of those 10 2 students who have taken admission in DUMMY SCHOOLS(where no class held)?.<br /> <br /> These students are preparing for IIT since last 2 years without attending school classes. <br /> <br /> If New pattern will start from 2013, this will not be the justice with those students which are now in 10 2 class. They may not even know the school name. This is not the fault of student but it is the fault of EDUCATION SYSTEM of INDIA. <br /> <br /> If New pattern will start from 2013, many student may go in DEPRESSION and may take wrong step.<br /> <br /> <br /> SO the new pattern should start from 2014 so that student may take admission to 10 1 class in the right school.
