Indian Institute of
Technology (IIT)
aspirants from the
Capital who scored
lower than expected in
the Joint Engineering
Examination (JEE) Main
are feeling
shortchanged because
the Central Board of
Secondary Education
(CBSE) has not
extended the
registration deadline for
the JEE advanced exam.
After a CBSE
notification on Monday
evening that effectively
allowed students to
review their scores by
providing them answer
keys, those seeking
admission to National
Institute of Technology
(NIT) and other
centrally-funded
institutes heaved a sigh
of relief.
However, it was too
little too late for those
low scorers who were
aiming for Indian
Institute of Technology
(IIT)s since the last day
to register for the
second round JEE
advanced exam was
Monday.
The uproar over the
scores came to the fore
on May 7 when the JEE
main results were
announced and many
students in the city
were “shocked” with
their scores, which
were about 25-30
marks below
expectations. However,
the most affected
were those students
who missed out on the
eligibility for JEE
advanced exam by just
a few marks.
“My son’s official score
is 104, which is very
close to the cut-off
mark of 113 for general
category. He was
shocked to see his
marks and is very
depressed because
based on expert
solutions, he should get
at least 124 which
would make him
eligible,” said Rajandrav
Dayal from Noida,
parent of an aspirant.
Some students have
even missed out on the
exam by one mark.
Similar complaints were
registered from a large
number of students
from across the
country.
Monday’s notification
does not mention
anything about the
extension of deadline
for JEE Advanced
registration.
CBSE spokesperson
Rama Sharma declined
to comment on the
matter and CBSE
chairman Vineet Joshi
did not respond to calls
or text messages.
The JEE Main exam
replaced the All India
Engineering Entrance
Examination for
admission to NITs,
IIITs and other
centrally-funded
institutes this year.
Also, for the first time,
the entrance for
admission to IITs is
being conducted in two
stages: JEE Main and JEE
Advanced.

Kota Topper Story: Shitikanth IIT JEE 2008 Topper

Image
I gave JEE in 2009 and used to hear about this "topper" guy from the 2nd floor of my hostel. Topper of A1. I didn't pay too much attention. Then one day after my dinner my friends asked me if I noticed who was sitting next to me during the meal. I said no. They said it was the same guy. I didn't care much there either. I saw him for the first time in a cricket field. The lean stick-figure boy who didn't speak much. He had a ball in his hand and a single electric pole was being used as the wicket. I was fielding. I saw him bowl and all my senses absorbed after that was the clattering sound of the ball on the pole. That's when I was introduced Sitikanth. And the stories began! Once during class, V K Bansal (THE BANSAL of Bansal Classes) told us a story of when 2 weeks before JEE Sitikanth came to him, dejected and confused. Saying he had nothing to do. Bansal Sir gave him the toughest integration problems he had, thinking this should be enough to keep him a

The Most Brilliant Students of Kota Ever

Anuj Nagpal(AIR 190):  This guy was the most intelligent person I ever met. In hostel, he was one of the most fun loving guys, he only used to do the assignments of mathematics (only because it was taught to us by the director of the coaching). Though I was not in his hostel but my closest friends were in his hostel and used to tell me all the stuff they did at night. Late night chats, discussion about random things (which had no relation with JEE at all). There was a time when all feared Nagpal and used to say "Nagpal is gonna come and he is going to spoil our full night." That guy was much different from all other people I have ever met.  He got an AIR 190 only because we weren't taught inorganic chemistry, else he would have got much better rank than this.  He is AIR190 in JEEAdv 2014, AIR190(State rank 2) in JEEMain 2014, BITSAT score-398, CBSE 12th %- 97.6. Rajdeep(AIR 1700 in first attempt, AIR 1200 in second attempt):  This was the coolest guy I ever met, studie

How much You can get by Selling your IIT JEE RANK ??

Shubham Tulsiani says This is quite a common practice among institutes so I would like to address the trends too apart from the personal experiences and I'll also write on one aspect the question didn't explicitly ask  - offers  before  JEE Pre-JEE (class 12th) I had a couple of 'offers' - Some people from Akash Institute came over to my place to 'gift' me books to help me prepare for JEE. All I had to do was - guess what - yes, sign a form ! I was amazed at how insistent they were and despite me saying I didnt need the books and wouldn't sign,  they made me keep the books. They then visited / called me about 5 more times to get my signature (until I finally returned the unused books on their last visit and told my hostel guard to not allow them back). I later learnt that they had been giving these 'gifts' to some of my (well performing) batchmates in Bansal Classes too and unfortunately a lot of them had signed up too. I was also on
