This year, the Joint Engineering Entrance Exam(JEE), also known as the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE), has registered a record of 14 lakh candidates enrolling for 2013 exams. This has been the highest numberever registered. The exam will be conducted in April 2013.
Experts say that the reason behind the rise in numbers is that many states are doing away with their state-level engineering exams. An increase in 2.8 lakh has been witnessed when compared to the previous years’ IIT applications. With the increase in number of IIT aspirants enrolling for the exam, competitions are also amplifying simultaneously. Indian students would face the toughest situation to get into the top universities. Qualifying the IIT-JEE Exam and getting admission into IITs would be more difficult, as there are some thousand seats available and number of candidates range in millions.
IIT-JEE Examination 2013:
The exam will be conducted in two parts : JEE Main and JEE Advanced. While JEE Main will be administered by the Central Board of Secondary Education, JEE Advanced will be conducted by IITs. Admission to National Institutes of Technology (NIT’s) and Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIT’s)would be based on JEE Main scores. The merit list for admission will be prepared by giving 40% weightage to class XII or other qualifying examination marks and 60% to the performance in JEE (main) examination.
The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has allowed a second attempt at board exams in 2013 to the students who have already appeared in 2012. This would give them a fair chance to make it to the top 20 percentile, eligible to write theAdvanced IIT-JEE 2013 test.
Earlier students concentrated on coaching for the IIT JEE Entrance Exam and prepared
for the class XII boards in a way that they scored the minimum marks. Giving weightage to Board results will encourage many students who are not exposed to intensive coaching. Now they too stand agood chance to be on the merit list by performing well in the CBSE Boards.

An Important News regarding class 12 board exams has been recently updated on a national news portal. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to design a common curriculum for Math and Science papers for class 12 board exam which would be effective from 2014 onwards. This would offer a level playing field to class 12 students from different boards while taking centralized entrance exams like the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).
