Admissions on the NITs from the coming year could be based entirely on Rajasthan 12th Result 2016, having a government-appointed panel prone to recommend scrapping of weightage fond of marks obtained in board examinations.
“We will be recommending scrapping of weightages presented to board marks,” Director of IIT Bombay as well as a member with the panel, Devang Khakhar, says.
A final choice on the issue could come early later when HRD Minister Smriti Irani chairs a session of the NIT council, which may take a call about the committee’s recommendations.
As per the prevailing policy, 40 per-cent weightage is provided to board marks and 60 per cent to your JEE-Main score for admission to a National Institute of Technolgy (NITs).
Official sources said the committee took into mind several factors while choosing its recommendations that included delays witnessed in 2010 in the common counselling for admissions on the IITs and NITs.
CBSE had didn’t publish the JEE-Main ranking list in time for the counselling and blamed it around the delay because of the state boards in submitting class XII marks. The ranks are decided after giving weightage to your class XII results.
The delay stood a cascading effect that led to your postponement of admissions towards the IITs, causing anxiety among students and parents.
A committee member said the reform from the JEE exams introduced from the erstwhile UPA government giving weightage on the board results had didn’t achieve the goals and objectives.
“It was felt how the reform would put an end for the menace to train, but within the contrary, more students went for coaching to higher their scores in board exams.
“Besides, attracting increased amount of rural students MP Board 12th Result 2016 to the premier technical institutes met with little success because admission (rural:urban) ratio over the last three years remained practically unchanged at 30:70,” he stated.
While recommending scrapping in the weightage system, the panel is planning to suggest securing 60 percent marks or 70 percentile in college XII, whichever is leaner, to be a criteria for eligibility of an candidate to appear for that examination conducted for admissions for the premier technical institutes.
