All you Engineering aspirants who are busy preparing for JEE 2014, need no longer be worried about the possibility of facing subjective questions in the second level of entrance exams-JEE Advanced 2014. The Joint Admission Board (JAB) for IITs which met on 25th August in Delhi to review the IIT entrance test format has decided that there should not be any change in the exam next year. Senior IIT officials have ruled out the implementation of any such change in the 2014 exam as it will involve too many logistical changes which will not be possible to implement without delaying the academic session.
The year 2013 saw the first two-tier common exam for admissions to the engineering courses across the country in the form of JEE 2013. The first stage was JEE Main for admissions to the NITs, CFTIs and SFTIs as well as the qualifying exam for JEE Advanced. JEE advanced was the second stage in the examination for admissions to the IITs and ISM Dhanbad. Students who qualified for JEE Advanced had to also feature amongst the top-20 percentile scorers in Class XII exams of their respective boards to be eligible for admissions to the IITs.
The tentative dates for JEE Mains 2014 and JEE Advanced 2014 have been announced. The date for JEE Main 2014 is tentatively April 6 while the JEE Advanced 2014 date may be advanced by a week to be conducted on May 25, 2014.
The IIT Council will meet on September 3, 2013 to review and pass these resolutions of the JAB. The next JAB meeting is scheduled on September 15, 2013. Do keep watching this space for latest updates on the same.
