IITs were trying hard to implement subjective format from 2014 but it will not be implemented from 2014.
Major relief for 2014 IIT JEE aspirants
There will not be many changes in the pattern and format of JEE Advanced 2014 examination
Why IITs are not implementing subjective format:
Having a subjective test for IITs’ entrance exam will require professors to manually evaluate answer papers. For an exam conducted in the first week of June, it is difficult to evaluate answer-sheets of many candidates and to come out with results by June-end. “It will delay the academic session across IITs. To conduct a subjective test for JEE-Advanced, the centre will have to conduct the JEE-Main exam in December and hold the JEE-Advanced in April. It will involve many logistical changes, which is not possible,” said the official. But a final decision on retaining the pattern in next year’s exam will only be taken after the JEE-Advanced 2014 chairman takes over the Joint Admission Board.
IITs might increase the number limit for JEE Advanced from 1.5 Lakhs to 2 Lakhs this year
The board will meet on August 25 to discuss the 2013 exam, their experiences with the new format of a two-level exam and give recommendations for the 2014 exam. “Many officials believe there is no point in bringing about a change in one year. Any new system has to be given an opportunity for two-three years to sustain. In all probability, there will not be many changes this year,” said an official.
IITs may increase the limit of candidates shortlisted from JEE-Main from 1.5 lakhs to two lakhs. “This year, out of 1.5 lakh candidates only 1.19 lakh finally wrote the JEE-Advanced exam. If we increase the limit to two lakhs, we may get the desired 1.5 lakh figure,” said a professor.
