A common entrance test could replace the IIT JEE and AIEEE

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) to urge entry to the distinguished Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) might soon be a issue of the past.

A common entrance test might replace the IIT-JEE and AIEEE from 2013. The test might even be held on-line from 2014.

Union Human Resources Development Minister Kapil Sibal said that the test scores would have sixty per cent weight with the school board marks accounting for the rest choose the admission list.

The proposal would now be put before the Central Advisory Board of Education.
