New Delhi: The Indian
Institute of Technology-Delhi (IIT-Delhi) too Thursday rejected
the government's proposal of a single entrance test and instead
decided to conduct a separate test.
"We have rejected the governments' proposal and instead would be
having our own separate test," IIT Faculty Federation president
Sanjeev Sanghi told IANS.
The decision was taken following a meeting of the IIT Delhi senate
Thursday and said that the exams would be conducted in association
with IIT-Kanpur, which has also rejected the government's single
entrance test move.
"As of now we have associated with IIT Kanpur as they are the only
other IIT institution that have opposed the government... we will
be willing to associate with other IITs if they wish to join us,"
Sanghi added.
Several IITs have come out in opposition on the proposed common
entrance test, which merges IIT Joint Entrance Examination (JEE)
with the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE), and
also includes a fixed weightage from school board exam.
Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal contends that the
common test was in favour of students.
