There is news for all you students preparing to get into the IITs or any of the other engineering colleges! Beginning 2013, you can no longer afford to ignore your class XII exams. It has been decided that at least 40% weightage will be given to class XII marks for admission to the 15 IITs.
A common aptitude-cum-advanced knowledge test is all set to replace the IIT-JEE and AIEEE in 2013. The single Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) proposed for admission into the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs)/National Institutes of Technology/Indian Institute of Science Education and Research/Indian Institute of Information Technology and state government-run engineering colleges, will be based on a system of varying weightages to class XII results.
Thus, while there would be single test for admission, class XII weightage would have variations that would cater to the needs of the different engineering colleges and state governments. The variations in the weightages have been devised to deal with the different systems of evaluation in each state. Put simply, the weightage given to class XII results would be different for admission to IIT and different for other engineering colleges.
So, whatever the ‘weightage band’ one thing is clear – good grades in school can now go a long way in realizing your career goals! Schools across have welcomed this move, as they feel that now the students will start focusing on their class XII exams and not blindly run after coaching centres that merely “equip” the candidates to crack competitive exams, caring little for concept-based teaching.
A single exam would also mean that as students you do not have to prepare for multiple exams! A step in the right direction, would you say?
Cheers!

Ask & Answer has been a very important feature for all of us. Over last few months, we’ve got a lot
of feedback from you guys and we thought of working on a modified look. So, what has changed?
Here goes….
The new “Review” page
The review page has replaced the old “Overview” page. It has two new sections - “Ask” and “Answer”.
The review page shows all the questions that have already been answered or certified i.e thumbs up given
by a Meritnation expert. Look for 
and 
logos to easily locate these questions.
How to find your posts!
This might have puzzled lots of you, but it’s really easy!
In the “Ask” section, you can post questions just like before.
Every time you ask a question, it is saved in the “My Q&A” section for you to easily locate it for future
reference.
All of your friends and other Meritnation users will also be able to see your questions at the top in the
“Answer” section. These questions will no longer appear in the default “Review” page.
In the “Answer” section, you can view questions that are waiting for you to answer them !
Every time you answer a question, or post in a question asked by another user,
it is saved in the “My Q&A” section for you to easily locate it for future reference.
We do believe that these changes would help you make better use of the “Ask & Answer” feature.
But hey, we need to hear what you think. For us, there is really nothing as valuable as your feedback.
Keep posting!
