It looks as if Union Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal is all set to bring changes to the existing educational system of India. After putting forward suggestions for incorporating changes to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) entrance exam, Sibal, on Wednesday, has formed a panel for monitoring the All India Engineering Entrance Exam.
This step was adopted by Sibal while chairing an Institutes of Technology (NIT) Council meeting.
"The committee consisting of three NIT directors has been constituted to look into the AIEEE structure. The committee will look at the possibility of making the exam online in addition to the regular pen and paper test being conducted by the CBSE at present," an official said.
The panel will be looking into the current structure of AIEEE. It will also cross0check if weightage could be given to class 12 exam results.
"The committee comprising the directors of Allahabad, Calicut and Agartala NITs will submit its report by January and will also look at the problem of seats across NITs staying vacant despite a number of rounds of counselling," the official said.
