Common entrance exam for IITs, NITs, IIITs from 2013

From 2013, aspiring candidates for IITs and other central institutes like NITs and IIITs will have to sit under new a format of common entrance test which will also take plus two board results into consideration.
The announcement was made today by HRD minister Kapil Sibal after chairing a meeting of the joint councils of IITs, NITs and IIITs. Emphasising that there was no "dissent" among the councils about the move, he acknowledged there "was a lot of resistance during the consultation process from the IIT system". IIT senates especially the faculty federation had been opposing the new format.
But Sibal said the selection of the candidates for the IITs and other central institutes would be different even as all the aspirants will have to go through all the steps under new format. This system will replace the IIT-JEE and AIEEE.
Students will sit for a main test and an advance test conducted on the same day.
For admission to all the centrally funded institutes, there would be 40 % weightage for performance in Class XII (after normalisation of marks), 30% weightage to performance in main and 30% in the advanced test.
In case of IITs, there would be a filtering process involved. The board results and the main test will be given 50% weightage each. Only the top 50,000 students will be selected for the advance test after taking into account their performance in the board results and the main result.
"The merit only in advanced examination will be considered for admission" to the IITs, Sibal said.
At the same time, he added, the IIT council has agreed to move to the other system by 2015. Explaining the selection of candidates under the new format for the IITs, one of the IIT directors said results of advance test of only those students who have crossed the "barrier" of the 50% weightage to board marks and mains will be counted while preparing the merit list.
Even as the process of selection to the IITs would be different then other institutes, he said the counselling to IITs and other institutes will be done jointly and allotment of seats will be done together.
"I as a student will get a rank in IIT and also get a rank for NIT and IIIT. I will give my choice in both and depending on which is my first choice in either, I will get a seat," he explained.
While the main test shall be multiple type paper, he nature and modalities of the advanced shall be determined by the Joint Admission Board (JAB) of the IITs.
Sibal made it clear that JAB of the IIT system would have complete control on matters such as paper setting, evaluation and preparation of merit list over the advanced test while CBSE will provide administrative support for conduct of the examination.
For conduct of the main examination, an expanded joint admission board will be constituted including the NIT, other centrally funded institutes and state government representatives.
Noting that state boards would have the flexibility to adopt the new format the determine their own relative weightages, the minister said Maharashtra, Gujarat and Haryana have evinced interest adopting the new format.

The Deputy Commissioner

All Regional Offices.

Subject : Fee Concession in Kendriya Vidyalayas


Sir / Madam,

As per Article 123 of Education Code various concession in the fee have been provided to the students. However, it has come to our notice that such provisions are not known to a large number of parents. As a result, they directly approach KVS HQs with queries. Hence, it is requested that principal of KVs under your jurisdiction be given instruction to publicize the provision of Article 123 and display it on the school website so that deserving students get the benefit of such provision.



This issues with the approval of competent authority.

Yours faithfully,
sd/-
(Chandana Mandal)
Dy. Commissioner (Acad.)

Recruitment Rules

Recruitment Rules

In accordance with Rule 16(4) & (5) of the Civil Services Examination Rules, 2011, the Union Public Service Commission maintains a consolidated Reserve List of candidates which includes General, Other Backward Classes, Scheduled Casts and Scheduled Tribes candidates ranking in order of merit below the last recommended candidate under respective category.

 

There is no such [enabling] provision in the various recruitment Rules in the Department of Posts.

 

Recruitment t0 Indian Postal Service Group ‘A’ posts is on the basis of Indian Postal Service (Group ‘A’) Rules, 1987.  The principal rules were published in the Gazette of India vide notification, number GSR 437 dated 6^th June, 1987 and subsequently amended vide number GSR 496 dated 1^st October, 1994, GSR 29 dated 20^th January, 1996, GSR 185 dated 18^th Mach, 1997 and GSR 428(E) dated 11^th June, 1999.  

 

The Department has released the list of 27 officers promoting them on regular basis in JTS.  How many of them will be repatriating to distant places to earn one annual increase of pay/ increment is anybody’s guess?

 

For the last two/three years supplementary DPCs are being held to promote ASPOs/IPs to Group “B” officers against the vacancies caused due to refusals etc.  The situation is still more worse in the case of promotions orders in HSG I, HSG II, and LSG where incidence of refusal is more 50 to 75%.  Almost similar is the case of promotions on seniority cum fitness basis in the cadre of Postmen / MTS.  

 

Incidence of refusal to accept promotions will be on increase in future. The convening of next DPC to fill up the resultant vacancies is time consuming process.  The solution lies in amending the Recruitment Rules to make provision for reserve list of 50% officers of respective category.    

 

Amending/updating the Recruitment Rules is still more difficult. As a result of acceptance of recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission and the old pay scales having been replaced by the Pay Band and Grade Pay, Indian Postal Service Group A Recruitment Rules, Postal Service Group B and other Recruitment Rules are still to be amended/updated. Instructions in this regard have already been issued by Department of Personnel & Training through O.M. No. AB.14017/61/2008-Estt. (RR) on 24.3.2009. It is imperative that the review of the Recruitment Rules/Service Rules is taken up at regular intervals in order to make them relevant to the rapidly changing needs of the organisation.
