Human Resource development (HRD) minister Prakash Javadekar is considering conducting a single entrance examination for admission to all engineering colleges, including private institutions from the year 2018.
It is aimed at bringing transparency to the admission procedure, including checking the practice in some private institutions of extracting a heavy capitation fee from students.
The top-rankers from JEE-Main are eligible to write the JEE-Advanced for the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). In the new system, students aspiring for the IITs will have to pass the nationwide common entrance test with high marks and take the JEE-Advanced.
