Major relief for 2014 JEE aspirants
There won't be much changes in the pattern and format of JEE Advanced 2014 examinationNow you guys must be wondering why IITs are not implementing subjective format, right?
Having a subjective test for IITs' entrance exam will require professors to manually evaluate answer papers. For an exam conducted in the last week of April or 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
Discussions were held on 2013's exam, where people shared their experiences with the new format of a two-level exam and gave 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 2 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 2 lakhs, we may get the desired 1.5 lakh figure." said a professor.
Keep studying till then. I know what you guys must be going through.
