HRD to push for single body for JEE, NET

 The Union human resource development ministry will seek the opinion of state education ministers next week on the feasibility of a centralised testing body responsible for conducting JEE, AIEEE, NET, CAT, CMAT and GATE. The meeting will also deliberate on the provision for allowing students to write such a test more than once in a year.

The proposal is scheduled to come up for discussion at the Central Advisory Board of Education (the highest advisory body on educa tion) meet attended by state education ministers on April 2 in the national capital.

The proposed agency is expected to deliver the national-level examinations through a dedicated group of professionals, thereby sparing teachers from the testing exercise. It will conduct research for preparing question papers, administering and holding examinations.

If the proposal gets passed, holding tests and assessment under the body is likely to become prerequisite for the public and private sector engineering, medical and other colleges, universities and institutions for admission and recruitment.

While the CBSE has prepared a model with an objective, structure and functions for the body, the government intends to start in a small way by conducting the UGC-NET exam as early  as next year. HRD minister M.M. Pallam Raju has said that joining the body would not be binding.
