IIT clarifies on Mistakes in IITJEE, No Re-exam
In a meeting of the The Joint Admissions Board on Sunday, It was decided not to conduct IIT-JEE 2010 again. The IIT JAB had conducted IIT-JEE 2010 for admissions to IITs. The meeting was called to discuss errors in JEE paper and devise corrective measures to ensure candidates don’t suffer. Four kinds of errors were identified and corrective measures published .
IIT said each ORS (both for paper one and two) will be evaluated in two ways: sequential question number-wise and subject headings-wise. In each case, the higher score of the two evaluations will be taken as the candidate’s score. Should one of the ways of evaluating lead to a mark below the minimum qualifying mark in one of the subjects, the other way will be deemed to be the higher of the two scores.
Meanwhile, a PIL was filed in the Supreme Court by an NGO, challenging declaration of JEE results. The hearing will come up in the Supreme Court on Monday.

Also, ET reports that Super 30, a Bihar-based free coaching centre for the poor, has demanded that the Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) be conducted again following blunders in the Hindi version and has rejected remedial measures proposed by the exam board. Anand Kumar, director-cum-founder of Super 30, said the corrective steps was not a fair solution. “It will be injustice to the affected candidates,” Kumar told media here.
He said that it would severely hamper chances of those who attempted the question paper in Hindi and urged the exam board to conduct a fresh examination.
IIT-Kharagpur professor Rajiv Kumar, who had highlighted errors in IIT entrance exam, has rubbished a series of explanations by the IIT-Joint Entrance Examination Board on mistakes in this year’s paper.
Kumar said in its explanation, IIT ignored the biggest error in its instructions for section II of paper I and section IV of paper II, by which a candidate could score 93 marks by blindly darkening all corresponding bubbles and without attracting any penalty due to no-negative marking for wrong answers. The first error was that subject headings of physics and mathematics in the optical response sheet (ORS) were interchanged. This resulted in loss of time and created confusion.
