It is another season of Entrance Examinations and Admission as far as those completing the Plus Two course are concerned. It is the culmination of a process for which candidates have been preparing for two or more years or for longer periods in case of some students. The admission processes in 2013 in some of the Medical/Engineering Courses is a bit different from that of the one that was followed in 2012-13.
The major change is in the admissions for MBBS/BDS. The National Eligibility-cum- Entrance Test (NEET) is expected to be the sole admission route for the MBBS/BDS Courses in all categories of colleges. However, several institutions have challenged this decision. As a result of this, several institutions have invited applications for their own admission process for MBBS/BDS which will be subject to the decision of the Supreme Court.
Institutes like AIIMS and JIPMER will have their own entrance examinations for MBBS admissions this year too as they do not come under the purview of the NEET. The major Entrance Examinations in the country till 2012, the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) attended by almost over 1 million students have been withdrawn. This has been replaced by the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) with a new method for ranking considering the marks in JEE (Main) and the normalized marks in the qualifying examination in the ratio 60:40.
The Joint Entrance Examination for admissions to IITs is being replaced by the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced). Only 1, 50,000 toppers from various categories who have taken the JEE (Main) will qualify to face the JEE (Advanced).
There are other Entrances conducted by the State Governments, by Central Universities as well as Deemed Universities.
Here the information related to the major Entrance Examination conducted in the country during April, May and June and the admissions offered based on such entrance examinations directly or indirectly, are compiled in the order in which it is scheduled. Candidates are requested to look at this only for guidance. The Examination pattern wherever not mentioned specifically, can be different from that of the previous years.
