IIT-JEE may goes online in next three years

After the conversion of the Common Admission Test (CAT) for management aspirants and the All India Engineering Entrance Examination(AIEEE) conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) into online computer-based tests, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) - Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) too might be converted to the online format in the coming years.

The IIT Joint Admission Board (JAB) which is comprised of all JEE chairmen, has decided to make the entrance test for admission to the IITs computer based instead of the usual paper-pencil test format.

However, the process of making the examinationonline may still take some time due to a glitch that the IITs have not archived their old question papers.

According to a member of the Joint AdmissionBoard, the matter of making JEE a computer based test had been discussed by the board when they had met this year. "The problem we are facing right now is that we don't have a ready question bank. If we are to make JEE a computer based online test, we would require a huge question bank that has questions of a constant difficulty level," he stated.

He further added that the fact that the old question papers had been destroyed had slowed down the process to make JEE an online test.

JAB members have said that due to the spiraling numbers of IIT aspirants, it might take them around three years to make the JEE a computer based test as a completely new question bank will have to be developed for the test to be offered online.

In the year 2008, when the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) had announced that the CAT would be made an online test, the IITs had speculated that the same could not be done for the JEE as it was also conducted in Singapore and hence the time difference between the two countries would affect the testing process.

When asked if the JAB will be outsourcing the online testing procedure, a faculty member said that the IITs had the technical knowledge for conducting the online testbut might look for a partner if the number of students appearing for the examination was too large.
