IIT-JEE Cutoff Formula Unchanged
IIT-JEE Cutoff Formula Unchanged
For the first time in three years, the IITs have decided to stick with their formula to compute subject-wise cutoffs for the upcoming Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). This year will follow last year's formula, where the cutoff will be the average of the marks scored by all candidates in each subject. Under the retained system, the subject-wise cutoff, now called the Minimum Qualifying Mark for Ranking (MQMR), will be the average of the marks scored by all candidates in each subject. The move is hoped to raise the subject-wise cutoffs to two digits, unlike the past three years. The JEE cutoffs have been a source of irritation for the IITs as they have been facing single-digit subject cutoffs - including a cutoff of zero for the Physics paper in 2008. Last year, the IITs devised a new formula after receiving flak over low subject cutoffs, but the results were not too impressive. The cutoffs for JEE, 2009 was 8 for Physics, and 11 for both Mathematics and Chemistry -- barely better than the previous two years. While the subject cutoffs are only the first filter for eliminating candidates, the low figures have led to a situation where candidates with very low scores in one subject, but with reasonable scores overall, have managed to get admission into one of the IITs. For instance, the last candidate admitted in the Scheduled Caste (SC) category this year scored just 5 in Physics. Candidates who have scored 15 in Physics or 12 in Mathematics or 11 in Chemistry in the general category have also made it to the JEE merit list. In JEE 2008, the cutoffs were 5 in mathematics, 0 in physics, and 3 in chemistry. JEE 2007 was no better, with cutoffs of 1 in Mathematics, 4 in Physics and 3 in Chemistry. For JEE 2008, the IITs decided to move away from a much more complex method followed in 2007. Under this, students in the top 80 per cent of every subject were considered for admission. For JEE 2007, the subject cutoffs were arrived at by subtracting the standard deviation for each subject from the average of each subject. IIT-JEE 2010 will be conducted on April 11, 2010 & the result will be declared on May 26, 2010.

In Search of Young Scientists
ABOUT KVPY
The "Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana" (KVPY) is a program started during 1999 by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India to encourage students of Basic Sciences, Engineering and Medicine to take up research careers in these areas. The aim of the program is to identify and encourage talented students with aptitude for research.
This program strives to assist the students to realises their potential and to ensure that the best scientific talent is developed for research and growth in the country. Generous scholarship and contingency grant is provided (up to the Pre-Ph.D. level) to the selected students.
The KVPY is funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. The program is administered by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc, Bangalore), through the overall control of the Chief Executive (SID). The selection of students from those who are studying +1, +2, any U.G. Program including First/Second year Engineering/Medicine are carried out by IISc (Bangalore), IIT-Bombay (Mumbai), and ICMR (New Delhi), respectively, in association with two Zonal Centres one at Kolkata (Indian Institute of Science Education Research, Kolkata) and another at Mumbai (HBCSE, TIFR).

"National Institutes of Technology" An Introduction
National Institutes of Technology (NITs) are premier colleges of engineering and technology education in India. They were originally called Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs). In 2002, the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, decided to upgrade, in phases, all the original 17 Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs) as National Institutes of Technology (NITs). There are currently 20 NITs, the latest being NIT, Agartala. The Government of India has introduced the National Institutes of Technology (NIT) Act 2007 to bring 20 such institutions within the ambit of the act and to provide them with complete autonomy in their functioning. The NITs are deliberately scattered throughout the country in line with the government norm of an NIT in every major state of India to promote regional development. The individual NITs, after the introduction of the NIT Act, have been functioning as autonomous technical universities and hence can draft their own curriculum and functioning policies.
The KVPY is funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. The program is administered by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc, Bangalore), through the overall control of the Chief Executive (SID). The selection of students from those who are studying +1, +2, any U.G. Program including First/Second year Engineering/Medicine are carried out by IISc (Bangalore), IIT-Bombay (Mumbai), and ICMR (New Delhi), respectively, in association with two Zonal Centres one at Kolkata (Indian Institute of Science Education Research, Kolkata) and another at Mumbai (HBCSE, TIFR).

Future
Reposing Faith in organisational capacity and technical infrastructure of the NIT system the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has decided to entrust the task of conducting the AIEEE to NITs themselves starting from 2008-09 session itself.
Earlier, the counselling procedure was dealt by a Central Counselling Board (CCB) based at New Delhi.The important decision to this effect was taken by the MHRD on the advice of the NIT Director's meeting who had unanimously advocated transferring of the responsibility for CCB of AIEEE counselling to NITs.
Every year director of a NIT will be the chairman of the CCB along with the selected directors of other institutes in the counselling board. The NITs will conduct the counselling and assume the responsibility of setting question papers as well from the year 2010. Similar to the conduct of the IIT-JEE and counselling by one of the six IITs in the country every year on a rotation basis, one among the 20 NITs in the country would be made a nodal agency for the conduct of AIEEE every year.
