OJEE to be replaced by JEE Main 2014 in Odisha

The state government of Odisha has decided replace the Odisha Joint Entrance Exam (OJEE) with the all-India Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main for the 2014 - 2015 academic session. The selection of students for admission to engineering courses in the institutes in Odisha will be done through JEE (Mains) 2014 only.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has officially announced that the all India level engineering entrance exam, JEE Main 2014 (Joint Entrance Examination) would be conducted on 6 April, 2014 (offline) and from 9 - 19 April, 2014 (online.) This will be the first time that Odisha will be part of the JEE (Mains) system.

Other states such as Maharashtra, Nagaland and Gujarat also plan to opt for JEE Main instead of their own state level examination.

There would be two ranks for candidates who qualify in the examination. While the State rank qualifiers would be able to study in Odisha, the all-India rank would help them pursue engineering courses in any technical college in the country.

Candidates, who want to appear for the JEE(Mains), will have to fill up the application form between November 15 and December 26.

More than one lakh students had appeared for B.Tech courses through OJEE 2013 conducted on 12 May, 2013. All the students will now have to apply through JEE Mains website, online. "Only those students applying for undergraduate B.Tech courses will go through the JEE Mains from next year. The students had enough time to prepare as the announcements were made a year ago," a senior State Government official said.

While implementing the transition from State-level entrance examination to a Central format, every State was allowed to tweak the format slightly to suit their needs. The State Government had suggested a few modifications for JEE Mains. Almost all the suggestions put forth were accepted by the CBSE, a senior Government official said.

OJEE Admit Card will be released on OJEE official website. It is one of the most important exams conducted by the government of Odisha for first-year admission to various post graduate as well as graduate courses. It must, however, be noted that for admission in B.Tech and MBBS first year, candidates must separately sit for NEET and JEE Main 2018. Admission to both these courses will be done purely on the basis of the marks that they score in their entrance exams.

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

IIT PAPER LEAK IN 1997

Image
A private coaching institute in Lucknow secretly called a select group of its students on the evening of May 2, barely 12 hours before the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admission into the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), for `valuable suggestions'. Nearly 100 students out of the total 700 reached and were told that the tips should be learnt by rote. The next day, much to the excitement of the students, 70 per cent of the physics and chemistry questions appeared in the examination papers. The father of an examinee told IIT authorities in New Delhi over the telephone about the leak but he was rebuffed. ``Such doubts are normal and are expressed every year by parents whose wards have not done well in their examinations,'' said an IIT official. The same procedure was adopted for the mathematics paper the next day and this time too the coaching institute was bang on target. Most of the questions figured in the actual paper, some with minor change

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
