  From what I hear - there will be a 'main test' which will be objective in nature; followed by another advance exam that will determine the final admissions. Further details are yet to emerge. If anyone knows about it, please contribute here.

  It is time that they start a brand new website for the new exam. From what little I could gather in the news,
  Under the new proposal, the exam would be of two parts,
  Main and Advance, each of three hours.
  Main (objective type) - comprehension, critical thinking and logical reasoning
  Advance (subjective type) - problem-solving abilities in the basic science subjects.(Physics, Chemistry?)
  
  Moreover,
  
  Main: IITs would like to use the Main results as a screening criterion. However, this process may begin from 2014 and not 2013.
  Advance: No, IITs should have their own JEE paper. This paper may be subjective in nature. Eligibility for JEE should be restricted based on Board marks in percentile form and Main marks.
  
  But, since we have no official word on any of this, we want each of you to contribute whatever information you gather.
