States NOT ready to join new IIT-JEE format
As the government moves ahead with its plan for a common engineering entrance test, a majority of states at a meeting of education ministers Tuesday refused to join the new IIT-JEE entrance format for institutions run by them.
A proposed new format for the Indian Institutes of Technology-Joint Entrance Exam (IIT-JEE) merges it with All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE) and states have been given freedom to decide on joining the common entrance exam.
