Securing of 60 percent marks in class XII will not be sufficient for those aspiring for IITs from 2011 as the criteria is being revised wherein higher percentage would be required which will be taken into account unlike the practice now.
The government on Monday appointed a committee of IIT directors to suggest the revised entrance system under which marks obtained in class XII will be given importance along with the entrance marks.
Why?
The move is aimed at ensuring that students take their class XII seriously and checking the growth of coaching centres, which are thriving on imparting coaching to students for IIT entrance, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said.
"The present criteria is that students need to secure 60 per cent at class XII for appearing in IIT-JEE. This is not acceptable. The minimum marks required for IIT-JEE could be raised up to 80 to 85 percent," Sibal told reporters after a meeting of the IIT Council, the apex decision making body for the elite institutes, here.
At the same time he added that the decision about the required percentage will be taken by the committee.
We Want to get Rid of Coaching Centers...
"The coaching centres are giving training for the IIT entrance. As a result, the students are not studying seriously for class XII exam and giving more attention to entrance. We want to get rid of the coaching centres by giving more weightage to the board exam," Sibal said.
The IIT-JEE system was revised three years ago when the eligibility criteria was raised to 60 percent at class XII level for appearing in the entrance.
Sibal said a three-member committee has been set up to look into the curriculum and submit its report within three months, suggesting required changes.
The committee comprises Science and Technology Secretary T Ramasami, Secretary Department of Biotechnology M K Bhan and CSIR Director General Samir Brahmachari.
The committee will deliberate on new age courses to be started by the IITs. Sibal has been insisting that the IITs could explore starting courses in Humanities and Medicine also. The committee will give its report by January.
Besides, the government has decided to change the eligibility of students for availing the merit-cum-means scholarship being given at the end of class XII. The income criteria, which was Rs two lakh per annum as family income, has been changed to Rs 4.5 lakh.
To attract more foreign students, the government will reduce the fee structure for students from SAARC and African countries, Sibal said.
A Message to Kapil Sibal from an IIT Aspirant:
This is an unacceptable proposal. What do they think students are? Learning machines? They expect us to be good students in boards as well as prepare for IIT-JEE at the same time, the latter having a humongous syllabus and the most difficult exam in the world? And what’s with the "Get rid of coaching institutes" bull talk? They expect us to prepare for JEEs all by ourselves AND cope up with school-schedule ((most of them hardly co-operate with JEE aspirants and demand we pay great attention to hardly useful or productive activities in the name of "extra-curricular")) AND do very nicely in board exams.
This is a stupid idea based on ignorant notions and almost inhumane expectations from students. People who approve of it are no more than pseudo-intellectual dumb asses who have only one mugged up filmy line about students is that they should pay more attention to their studies and work hard and do whatever the system wants them to no matter how realistically possible it is.
Most of the teachers in almost all schools in India are hardly qualified to teach the ABCs for JEEs and, most of them just come in babble out mugged up lines and leave the classroom hardly caring about whether students have understood the topic or not. They are not dust compared to coaching institutes' teachers and this Sibal calls the latter "shops", maybe he is just insecure that there are institutions on which students rely that are not under his control
Most of the schools consume up students' time with unnecessary 100% unproductive and unfruitful activities and subjects that we will hardly have any use for and there are idiots who think it should be easy for an aspirant to get 80-85% marks in boards.
The naive shit-heads who think mugging-up is not necessary to get 85% in boards while preparing IIT-JEEs syllabus need to wake up and get a reality check.

Standing committee on higher education?
Is he simply not aware about the lack of any quality in school education?
UPSC, BITS, Gate were taking board marks weightage earlier, they started having students from Bihar only.
The system was discontinued.
Why the minister is hell bent on destroying the IITJEE, that has become the bench mark?
already the IITs are under tremendous pressure of tolerating reserved category students/Profes sors due to increased seats.
The faculty student ratio has become very adverse.
Who is to blame for all this
Why subjective system/ pre mains system/ english papers were removed ?
Now they complain about falling standards
Who is responsible for all this
Whose interest is being watched
are foreign universities involved
just think about d centres where board paper leaks out before d exams every year...so u want such dumb asses in IITs n NITs??? y dont u try to improve system to our school boards instead of doin such unpractical n unrealistic things which is gonna kill d quality of our top institutions for technical education.
n Mr. narayanamurthy. .when i was a student in NIT jaipur, your company was just a " bulk hiring" for us... it was not d Dream Company even for a single individual...fi rst u improve your mentalities n packages for hiring only den talk bout d quality of ours...
u should calculate d ratio of candidates hired from IITs NITs n some gud colleges to the candidates joined ur company after their graduations..
All the best guys
Such type of decision shows that our government is not able to improve the present scenario of education level,that's why they are trying to choose short cut way.
Your idea is quite gud this idea is great for the students who are not engaged in any universities they would also be able to get admission in iit's and it would be financtially gud for their parent also and in iit more number of educated students(i.e.fr om the point of view of cbse) would take admission
Now let's think from other view(which is more realistic in my opinion )
The year, in which this idea would be passed as a rule the, for most of the students enrolled in iit entrance exam would be having no way to go on . Their life would be vanished as most of the students think of cbse just as a way to have entry in iit entrance exams so they just tries to have only 60+ marks only
ok let us forget about this fact for once as this would be having no affect when before passing this idea students are told about this two years ago
now let me introduced u from one more fact
U are forcing all this so that students enrolled in iit would also concerne about cbse but do you know in present time in most of school teachers use to teach students in a manner that do not give them the actual knowledge they just forces students to learn everything ( even in practicals teachers tell student to learn the readings instead of actually performing the activities or experiments ) and to revise everything it never gives students a logical ability to think in a logical manner but as we (students ) enroll in iit gains ability to think in a logical manner and it also gives them the actual knowledge hidden after every concept or topic then why u are forcing to reduce the iit strenghth i m not capable of understanding this
please look after my view i m waiting anxiously for someone's reply for this post
I agree, School Teachers are worthless, it is not that they don't know, it's that they don't how to teach.
But, I think that JEE is a competitive exam, so jo bhi hoga, sabke liye, hoga, sirf ek particular, padhaku ke liye nahi. So Chiil...!
Most of the schools consume up students' time with unnecessary 100% unproductive and unfruitful activities and subjects that we will hardly have any use for and there are idiots who think it should be easy for an aspirant to get 80-85% marks in boards.
i think the initial system is very good and coaching centers are best.
I dont wanna any change in the system.
:sad::sad::sad:
i think he haven't passed 12 class yet
80-85% children .... they will only get it & woun't get selected in iit
i am very very angry with:sad: him.. stupid ..
In my opinion the presnet criteria of 60&#xma;rks is better than what is going to be followed in future.
and talking about coaching institutes..... it is solely upon the decision of students where they wanna go..... Just tell me WHO WON"T EXPLOIT YOU IF YOU WOULD LET THEM DO IT!!!!!!!
P.S. I took coaching for two years from the best center in my town @55,000(aprox for two years).... and yes the State topper is from there every year as far as I know.....
So Mr. Minister you need review your decision once more......... 60% is perfect!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
i think the government(spec ially sibal) shud use their brains while giving such rude decisions
our books are da most uninteresting and have to learn loads of derivations and definitions.
while 'MR. MINISTER'is trying hard to curb these coaching classes monopoly.and dats a good move.
but since dese old head maggots have no idea wat we hav to go thru.
'Mr.MINISTER DID YOU EVER SIT FOR A JEE EXAM?'
wat bout da STATE BOARD students, they hardly get 80%.
da POOR GENIUSES of villages how will they qualify?
70-75% would have been ok!!!
