Students
want to make the grade, while others
would have wanted to improve their scores, but their next opportunity
would
have come only a year later. On saterday 8/9/2018 government announcing that
students who sat for the annual JEE
Main
can sit twice a year for not only JEE Main, but also NEET for entry into
medical colleges.
The
exam will take care of the variation in difficulty levels in the two tests in
each course through the use of specialised standardisation techniques while
determining the final scores.
Around 24,000 seats offer by government-funded
technical institutes. Now a days many private schools also use JEE Main marks
for their admission processes.NEET tests regulate admissions to around 60,000
undergraduate medical seats.
The
computer-based tests will be conducted by NTA and not the Central Board of
Secondary Education and other agencies like the All India Council for Technical
Education (AICTE) as at present. “All entrance exams which were conducted by
CBSE, such as UGC-NET, JEE Main and NEET, will now be conducted by NTA,” Union
human resource development minister Prakash Javadekar said on Saturday.
NTA
will begin with the University Grants Commission’s National Eligibility Test
(UGC-NET) for college and university teachers, requiring a post graduate
degree, from December 2018. From 2019, NTA will also conduct the Graduate
Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) and Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) both
conducted by AICTE so far.
With
JEE Main and NEET being conducted twice for a single admission process, there
will be a need to standardise the scores from the two sittings, say of January
and April 2019 for JEE admissions of August 2019. “We will ensure that the
difficulty levels are same across papers,” said a senior HRD official. However,
the tests will be equated nevertheless using psychometric methods,
standardisation techniques and the best of the equated scores will be used for
admissions in case of variation in difficulty levels.
