Dear Students and teachers
As the discussion continues regarding new pattern,we are directly posting from Agenda sheet released by HRD ministry. It is not a final decision but this is the agenda around which final decision is likely to be taken,

FIFTY NINTH MEETING OF THE CENRAL ADVISORY BOARD OF EDUCATION
AGENDA ITEMS & BACKGROUND NOTES 23rd APRIL, 2012 at 11.00 A.M. at
Hotel Ashok, New Delhi MINISTRY
Multiplicity of entrance
examinations for admission to engineering institutions has been a cause of
concern. The burden imposed on the students in terms of time, payment of
examination fees and the stress caused in scheduling and preparing for each
examination is tremendous and the anxiety and trauma on both the students and
parents have been highlighted on numerous occasions. Besides, the present
system of examination has unwittingly distorted the very foundations of the
school education system; rote learning and coaching have taken precedence over
the analytical and problem solving ability
The Council accepted the
report of the Ramasami Committee and decided that the report would also be
placed before CABE and the State Education Ministers so that the new system
could be put in place by the academic session 2013-14.
The proposal to hold a
common National Examination with weightage to State Board results, normalized
on the basis of percentile formula, for admission to engineering institutions
was endorsed ‘in-principle’ by the Education Ministers in the State Education
Ministers’ conference held on 22nd February, 2012. This note gives details of the implementation of
the admission procedure to be adopted by the CFTIs for the admission process in
2013 as also by the States and other institutions wanting to be part of the
single examination system. The single entrance examination for admission to
engineering programmes in the Centrally Funded Technical Institutes and other
willing institutions will be named as the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).2
MAIN and ADVANCE Papers: The JEE will consist of two papers MAIN and
ADVANCE The first MAIN paper – usually scheduled in the morning hours – will be
an examination of 180 minutes. The main objective of the first paper will be
test the foundational understanding of the candidate in Physics, Chemistry and
Mathematics as learnt in the 10+2 years. The examination (test) will be
designed by not only the domain experts of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics
but could also involve participation of experts in Psychometry. The
second paper ADVANCE in the afternoon will also be a paper of 180 minutes
duration. It will have the same syllabus as the MAIN paper. The questions will
test the problem-solving abilities of students besides the skills of problem
formulation and incisive thinking. The JEE result will specify the Board Marks
(in equivalent terms), the Main examination marks and the Advance examination
marks. Board Marks - The JEE result will specify the Board Marks. The
percentile rank of a student in the science stream in the Board, he or she
appears in, will be the marks out of hundred for the Board marks component. The
rank should be given up to 9 decimal places to enable tie breaking. The formula
to be used for the percentile rank is to be (cℓ+0.5ƒi)/N*100 where cℓ is the
count of all scores less than the score of interest, ƒi is the frequency of the
score of interest (the number of students with the same score), and N is
the number of examinees in the sample. The percentile rank of students are to
be based on the scores obtained from adding the marks obtained in the Board
examination in the following subjects: a) Physics, b) Chemistry, c)
Mathematics, d) one language subject, e) best subject among the electives taken
by the student. MAIN and ADVANCE Test Syllabi - The syllabus for Main and Advance tests will be the same. This common
syllabus will be prescribed by the Academic Group of the JEE each year. Application
Forms – Candidates will submit separate application forms for a) taking the
JEE and b) for admission to the participating CFTIs and other institutions.
Application for JEE will result in allotment of a reference JEE number. After
obtaining this number, a candidate has to apply for admission in specific
participating CFTIs/ other participating technical institutions quoting this
number. This will enable the linkage between the two applications.
CFTI Rank Assignment - In addition to the
marks in the three components, a CFTI Rank will also be provided to each
candidate. The rank will be determined by using the following weightages: Board
marks – 40%, Main Test – 30%, Advance Test – 30%. Tie breaks will be handled in
the following order: a) Board Percentile Rank, b) 3
Main Test marks, c) Advance Test marks, d) marks in the subject with the
lowest average marks of the Advance test, e) marks in the subject with the
second lowest average marks of the Advance test, and f) marks in the subject
with the third lowest average marks of the Advance test.
For more details....experts to read the full agenda and also enlighten us....its getting bit complex too for us to handle
