New Delhi: The human
resource development ministry and IIT Council Wednesday arrived at
a consensus over the entrance exam pattern for admission to the
prestigious engineering institutes with an agreement on a new
entrance test formula proposed by the IITs.
The agreement was reached at a meeting of the IIT Council convened
in the capital to discuss the proposed common entrance test after
opposition from some of the IITs. The meeting was attended by
directors of all IITs.
"We have taken a unanimous decision to follow the formula
suggested in Saturday's meeting. IIT will get control of advance
test," said M. Anandkrishnan, chairman, board of governors,
IIT-Kanpur.
As per the new formula, IIT will take top 20 percent scorers of
all boards and then conduct the final exam.
Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal skipped the
meeting in order to avoid any political interference in the
decision, official sources said.
The new format will come into effect from 2013, if accepted by the
ministry.
