The three day meeting of Council of Boards of School Education in India (COBSE) convened in capital today to discuss National curriculum Framework 2005 in collaboration with NCERT, examined the issue of IIT examination policy where it has been decided that only those students who get 60% or more marks at the class 12 will be eligible for competing in the entrance test of IIT.
COBSE felt that the decision will help and strengthen class 12th examination conducted by various school Boards in the country. This will give greater importance and focus to the studies at senior secondary level. Thus, the serious students with appropriate attitude and aptitude will be eligible to compete for IIT examinations. It will also dissuade many from entering into coaching institutions. At present it is not the best talent but the best coached student which achieve success in the JEE. It is resolved that this policy be implemented by the IITs in order to strengthen the studies at +2 level. The meeting is being attended by the Chairmen and the Secretaries of various school boards of the country.
