With the results of JEE main's new pattern announced today, 3000 students have cleared for appearing in the advanced from Tamil Nadu. The Advanced exam is the criteria for selection into IITs. The JEE main was a screening, to select 1.5 lakh students who would compete for the IIT seats, provided their board scores are within the top 20 percentile.
This year the admission for IITs, NITs and few more centrally funded colleges depend on this rank list.
As usual adding to the confusion of admissions, the rank list for the remaining students who did not clear for the JEE advanced will have to wait till July 2nd.
The 1.5 lakh students who cleared the JEE main are eligible for admissions to IITs and will take their advanced paper on June 2nd. Their rank list will be based on JEE advanced inclusive of all categories provided that they are within the top 20 percentile of the board results. Approximately the OC category needs to score 90% and lesser for the others.
The admissions to NITs and other centrally funded institutes will depend on the JEE main result which would be 60% and a weight age of 40% of the board marks.
The admissions scenario for colleges in Tamil Nadu has already begun. Some have started the distribution of application forms while the deemed colleges have finished their entrances and are sending counselling letters to students. By July 2nd which is when the CCB is likely to release the rank list most of the colleges would have finished with their counselling and admission through management quota would be over. The single window counselling for Anna University too would commence from June 21st.
SASTRA University has decided not to wait for the JEE rank list and begin its admissions with the 70% seats through board results. The remaining 30% seats would be based on the JEE rank list.
There seems to be a confusion regarding admissions into Engineering colleges every year. And CBSE students who look for an option of joining state colleges, especially in Tamil Nadu are the most affected.
I hope better administration and co ordination prevails in the future which will give the students a wider option of colleges to choose from, rather than opting for colleges because of the education system blunders... and mismanagement.
When both CBSE and state board exams end almost at the same time, I fail to understand why the admission process to colleges, especially that of engineering colleges are in a chaos and leaves the student stressed out by the time he gets a seat. I fail to understand why the education system in India is unable to decide on a uniform system which would benefit all boards of students ...?
