IIT Council to discuss single admission test


A high-powered committee has been charged with the responsibility of recommending reforms in the IIT-JEE to reduce financial and mental stress on students


New Delhi: IIT Council, the highest decision-making body of the IITs, will meet on Wednesday to discuss replacing the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and other engineering tests with a single national examination.

Science and technology secretary T. Ramaswami will make a presentation on the issue to all IIT directors at the meeting.

A high-powered committee under Ramaswami has been charged with the responsibility of recommending reforms in the IIT-JEE to reduce financial and mental stress on students. The final report is yet to be submitted.

The IIT Council meeting is also slated to discuss the increasing number of suicides by students on campus. This year, IITs have reported seven suicides already. The number of cases is the highest in the last five years. According to sources, the ministry is keen on forming a task force that will suggest systemic measures to address the issue.
