This thread is for discussion on the proposed New single entrance Exam pattern for Entrance into Engineering Colleges.
Apparently, the probability of this pattern being implemented from the next year are very high. The proposed name is ISEET - Indian Science Engineering Eligibility Test.
ISEET 2013 : Indian Science Engineering Eligibility Test
1. Combined entrance exam in place of IIT JEE & AIEEE
2. ISEET will have two parts, Main and Advance, each of three hours duration. Both tests will be given on the same day; between 10 am and 5 pm. ISEET 2013 will be held in either March or April.
ISEET Main will be an objective type exam, and will test comprehension, critical thinking and logical reasoning. ISEET Advance will test problem-solving ability in basic science subjects. The two tests together will indicate a candidate's scholastic level and aptitude for science and engineering.
A student's performance in the Class 12 Board exam will be considered, with a weight not be less than 40 per cent of the total score. The combined weightage for ISEET Main and Advance will not be more than 60 per cent; however, the weightage given to Board scores can go up to 100 per cent.
It is for the individual educational institutions or the state government to decide on the weightage to be accorded to the scores in Class-XII, main and advance examination
3.The entrance test, to be conducted next year, will cover 15 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), 30 National Institutes of Technology (NITs), four Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), five Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) and few deemed universities which come under the purview of the HRD Ministry.Engineering colleges which take AIEEE score at present would take ISEET

Latest News: A final decision is likely to be taken in the forthcoming conference of State Education Ministers which is likely to take place on February 22, 2012.
My Opinion: Normalizing 12th Board Marks across the country is a big challenge. It will result in Biases. Weightage should not be given to 12th class marks at all. That's the only change I want. Other than that, the proposed system is completely fair.
This pattern, if implemented, will surely lower the standards of Indian Institutes of Technology.

No JEE, No AIEEE, the new test on the block is Indian Science Engineering Eligibility Test or (ISEET). Yes, that’s the new name for coveted JEE and AIEEE test which is conducted every year for admission into premium engineering colleges in the country.
For all the students who will be appearing for ISEET (Indian Science Engineering Eligibility test) in 2013, should know the following details about the exam:
1.In the first phase the examination will be conducted for admission into 15 IIT’s, 30 NIT’s(National Institute of technology ), 5 Indian Institute of Science education & Research, 4 IIIT’s, Indian Institute of science, Bangalore, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur & North East Regional Institute of Science and Technology, Itanagar.
2.In the second phase which is in 2014, it is expected that the examination will be conducted for admission into all professional courses in engineering and science.
3.The ISEET test will be conducted twice in a year (April/May) and (November/December), which will allow candidates to get familiar with the exam pattern.
4.The ISEET sample papers will be made available on public domain by July 2012.
It is expected that the change of exam pattern will reduce pressure on students. The new pattern also gives 40% weight to board exam result which brings schools in the forefront pushing back the overt reliance on coaching institutes.
Right now students who wish to pursue engineering at undergraduate level have to take multiple entrance exams. This leads to a lot of burden on students in terms of the money, stress and time involved. Single entrance exam will be convenient as students no longer have to enquire, buy or fill forms for different exams.
At the moment the reaction from students and teachers is a mixed one. Some say that it will reduce stress on the students while others argue that the change in pattern will dilute the quality of students getting into the IIT’s, which is known for its brand and name. Right now it’s too early to judge the situation. Time will only tell if the change is for good or for the worse.

The successor to the JEE and AIEEE — for long the gateways to India’s top engineering colleges including the IITs — will be called ISEET, the Indian Science Engineering Eligibility Test.
As reported by The Indian Express on January 31, the new, SAT-style exam comes into force in 2013. It will do away with multiple entrance examinations and reduce the stress levels of students.
ISEET will have two parts, Main and Advance, each of three hours duration. Both tests will be given on the same day, between 10 am and 5 pm. ISEET 2013 will be held in either March or April.
ISEET Main will be an objective type exam, and will test comprehension, critical thinking and logical reasoning. ISEET Advance will test problem-solving ability in basic science subjects. The two tests together will indicate a candidate’s scholastic level and aptitude for science and engineering.
A student’s performance in the Class 12 Board exam will be considered, with a weight not be less than 40 per cent of the total score. The combined weightage for ISEET Main and Advance will not be more than 60 per cent; however, the weightage given to Board scores can go up to 100 per cent.
Each state government or institute will be able to decide the specific weight it gives to Board, Main and Advance exam scores. A committee headed by Dr T Ramasami, secretary in the Department of Science & Technology, has demonstrated with the help of the Indian Statistical Institute that school scores across various Boards can be normalized through a statistical process.
ISEET will be conducted by CBSE. Further modalities will be worked out by an academic group headed by the director of IIT, Kanpur.
