NORMALIZATION in IIT

In the past three and half years of responsibility in Education, Central Minister Kapil Sibal effective changes in Examination system.

The CBSE X examination was made optional and he noted a single exam for Engineering Courses. He brought XII Results and marks in the consideration with IIT Performance.

Only Gujarat and Nagaland agreed. Haryana and Uttarkhand were already part of the system. AIEEE removed. The IIT had shown their concern, regarding the reduction in quality.

A complicated Normalisation procedure was found to bring all the board to a single system. The idea was to faster in XII result with HJEE (Main) score, for admission to NITS and central Govt Technical Institutes. In IIT, only 1.5 lac of those who cleared JEE(Main) could take JEE (Advanced) for IIT Admissions. A high JEE (Advanced) score was not sufficient for a seat in IIT. The extra factor was the stress on XII result.

A student had like in the top 20 percentile of his / her board result. A complicated two tier system was found remaining a single examination.

This confirms begins from June. Students could not find the normalization formula till JEE(Main) scores came.

The surprise is, there will high JEE(Main) marks and reasonably high class (XII) scoring, as per to-days students 90% is not sufficient and they found them ranks had slippes. This is the beginning of litigation and chaos.

The reason for confusion is the calculation of the boards is wrong. The calculate the percentage on the basis of total students who had taken in XII state’s board examination. While it had to be calculated on the basis of the number of students who had passed.

The chairman of CBSE Vineet Joshi said confusion was because it was the first year.
