History

The JEE has evolved considerably from its initial pattern approximately 45 years back. Initially, there were 4 subjects in JEE, the English language paper being the additional subject. During the period from 2000 to 2005, the JEE also had a screening test in addition to the JEE main examination in order to reduce the load on the JEE main examination by screening only about 20,000 top candidates. In 1997, the JEE was conducted twice after the question paper was leaked in some centres.

In September 2005, an analysis group comprising of directors of all the IITs announced major reforms in JEE, implemented from 2006 onwards. The new test consists of a single objective test, replacing the earlier two-test system. The candidates belonging to the general category must secure a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate in the qualifying examination of the XII^th standard organized by various educational boards of India. Candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Physically Disabled (PD) categories must secure a minimum of 55% in aggregate in the Qualifying Examination.

In 2008, the director and the dean of IIT Madras called for revamping JEE, saying that the coaching institutes were "enabling many among the less-than-best students to crack the test and keeping girls from qualifying." They expressed concern that the present system did not allow for the 12 years of schooling to have a bearing on admissions into IITs.^[1]

Each year IIT-JEE is Conducted by any one of the old IITs in round robin fashion. In 2009, it was Conducted by IIT-G.The IIT-JEE 2010, is scheduled on April 11, 2010. It will be conducted by IIT Madras. The Result of the same is scheduled tentatively 0n May 26, 2010. This year IIT-M has introduced differnt mode application through online to promote online application process.

According to the data released by the organizing committee of IIT-JEE, the children of medical professionals had the highest success rate in the IIT-JEE (for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008). They were followed by the children of engineers. The maximum number of students taking IIT-JEE are the children of government employees, but they had a much lower success rate.^[2]

Current examination format

The current pattern is followed since 2006. The current pattern consists of two objective type papers each containing maths, physics and chemistry sections. The syllabus of the examination is predominantly based on topics covered by the CBSE Board Examination (AISSCE) and the ISC Board Examination. The pattern of questions in JEE is deliberately variable so as to minimize the chance of students getting selected by cramming up the probable questions. As it is objective type questions, Optical mark recognition answer sheets has been adopted since 2006. In previous years, there were separate maths, physics and chemistry papers, each of two hours' duration that contained both subjective and objective Questions. The current pattern is adopted so as to reduce the students' stress.

Given the importance attached to the JEE by students all over India, the IITs follow a rigorous procedure when conducting it every year. The exam is set by the JEE Committee (consisting of a group of faculty members drawn from the admitting colleges) under the tightest security. Multiple sets of question papers are framed and the set that is to actually be used on the day of the exam is known to only about five individuals. In the past, the JEE has been noted for originality in its questions.

Seats

The number of students taking this examination has increased substantially each year with the JEE-2008 registering about 311,258 candidates. The availability of seats in recent years is as given in table below: ^[3]

ISMU Dhanbad	444	658	658	705	923
TOTAL	4583	5444	5537	6992	8295

The age limit for appearing in IIT-JEE is 25 years. For candidates belonging to SC, ST and PD categories, the relaxed age limit is 30 years. Also, starting 2007, a candidate can take the JEE two times at the most. This has been done mainly to reduce stress on students and discourage the concept of "cram schools". Furthermore, from 2007 on, students who are selected for admission to an IIT cannot attempt the examination again in the future. From 2008 six new IITs have been opened with 120 seats each increasing the total no.of seats to almost 7000. For 2009, admissions are to be made to two more IITs, namely IIT Indore and IIT Mandi (Himachal Pradesh) taking the seat count to almost 8300. TOTAL IIT SEATS IN 2011 9618 SEATS

2010 Ranking: World's BEST Universities

QS World University Rankings

A product of QS group, a leading education and career network, this is the biggest survey-based ranking of top universities. It surveys 15,050 academics, 5007 employers whose perceptions together are given 50% weightage. 20% is given to journal citations, another 20% to student faculty ratio, and the last 10% is divided between international faculty and international students. It is in its seventh edition and until last year was working with Times Higher Education magazine. The research citations were sourced from Scopus.
Times Higher Education Rankings
A first edition, as an independent player this is one of the most comprehensive ranking systems with respect to universities. It is quite similar in structure to QS, though each broad category has much more details and data. One advantage of the THE ranking is that the institutes/ universities do participate and sign in their data. So it is richer and presents a comprehensive picture. IT also a robust survey component.
The ranking parameters are as follows:

Teaching — learning environment, reputation (30%)
Research — volume, income and reputation ( 30%)
Citations — research influence(32.5 %)
Industry income — innovation earnings ( 2.5%)
International mix — (5%)( both faculty and students)

Academic Ranking of World Universities
As the name suggests, this is purely an academic ranking, with weights according to alumni winning Nobel prizes and Fields Medal (10%), faculty winning the same (20%), highly cited researchers (20%), publications (40%) and per capita academic performance (10%). It is published by the Shanghai Jia Tong University, China and is now into its third edition.

The nature of the ranking schemes is such that the outcome also varies quite a bit. Take for example Imperial College. It has been ranked 26th in ARWU but a prestigious 9th and 7th in the other two rankings. In other words, Imperial College probably lost out because of its lack of laureates.

Interestingly, ARWU also throws up universities like University of California, San Diego, University of Wisconsin, University of Illinois, which are not in the popular imagination and hence not rated in the top 30 in both QS and THE.

So the prospective student must look at the parameters before he or she decides which university to pick up.
