AIEEE may go Online from next Year

The government has set up a committee of National Institute of Technology (NIT) directors to explore the possibility of making the AIEEE exam online, in addition to the regular pen and paper test. The committee will submit its report by January 2010.

The committee will also deliberate on giving Class XII board exam marks weightage during the entrance exam. This came up after NIT directors said that the proliferation of coaching institutes was skewing the pattern of entrants into NITs.

Nearly 10 lakh students appeared for AIEEE for roughly 24,000 seats in engineering colleges across the country. This includes NITs, state engineering colleges, the Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and deemed and central universities. The number of aspirants is expected to increase significantly over the next few years and the NIT council feels that an online test would facilitate the process.
