JEE going to be online exam after 3 years
As we all know that the two major exams in India - Common Admission Test and the All-India Engineering Entrance Exam are totally computer based.Seeing this now the Joint Admission Board(JAB) is going to be computer based exam.It is going under discussion by JEE chairmen.
But the problem they facing is the IIT- Indian institutes of Technology does not maintain there old question paper set and so it has become difficult for them to go in computer based pattern.
It is said that it would take 3 working years to make the question bank online and to convert JEE into online pattern.
"We discussed that issue (computer-based exams) when we met this year, but the problem is that we don't have a ready question bank. If the JEE has to be taken on computers, then we need a huge databank of questions that are of a constant-difficulty level. What has slowed down our process is that we have destroyed our old question papers," said a member of the Joint Admission Board.
"We have the technical knowhow. If the numbers are too large, we may look for a partner who can get the logistics in place. But it's a question that can be answered only by the JAB of the year we move away from the paper-pencil test," added a faculty member.
