  • IITs are considering that joint entrance examination (JEE) should be conducted online, just like the CAT for IIMs.
    The IIT-Delhi, which is organizing IIT-JEE 2012, has invited all IIT directors for a workshop on Friday, where an online model will be demonstrated. The JEE office is hosting the workshop.


    Sources from IIT-Delhi have confirmed that Education Testing Services (ETS), which conducts the GRE and several other popular global online examinations, will make a presentation at the workshop.


    Most officials on record denied plans to go online with JEE. A senior official from one of the IITs claimed that the workshop was scheduled to discuss the possibilities of an online examination for JEE. "We might just discuss the feasibility. No decision has been taken," said the official.
    A senior IIT-B professor said, "An online exam may or may not work for JEE. While CAT faced teething problems initially, it is stabilized now. For an exam, where you need to calculate a lot, pen and paper seems to be a better option. But students these days are well versed with technology and in future, everything might be computerized."

    Currently, only two directors have responded to the invitation, claimed an official from IIT-Delhi. "Experts from ETS will make a presentation and showcase their testing systems. It is a successful testing pattern in the US. But there will not be any overnight decision on JEE going online," said the official.

    It's better if it's not online! At my time, (2008), IIT-JEE was of a 6-hour span. I don't know about the current scenario, but the efficiency does decrease in front of the computer.

    There could even be a chance of Server Problem, as around million of candidates will be giving the same paper in Online.

    But still These Government sites are unreliable most of the times.
    It could be better if it has been given under Private authorities.
