The Supreme Court on Friday rejected the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) proposal of merging the All India Pre medical Test (AIPMT ) and All India Engineering Entrance Examination AIEEE into a single entrance test for admissions to undergraduate medical and engineering courses in the country, reports the Times of India
A bench of Justices R V Raveendran and A K Patnaik, which entertained the CBSE’s proposal dismissed the Board’s plea saying there was no unanimity.
While the All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Entrance Examination (AIPMT) is conducted to fill 15% seats in MBBS/BDS courses in government medical and dental colleges against the all-India quota, the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) is for drawing up a combined merit list for a different category of engineering colleges. CBSE conducts both AIPMT and AIEEE every year.
