Re-exam.............

hey guys, jus think if u wer any of the iit directors ,then wat could have you suggested to JAB to compensate students for the mistakes committed by iits.

i kno many of u r goin to call for a reexamination, but jus hold dat, plz suggest ideas other den reexamination . On which we can give our viewpoint and why dat(as suggested by u) can't happen(as we all kno der is no better justification other den a reexamination)

jus trying to get d ideology of the iit directors

a suggestion was given b4 (#102 by pankaj), to check the OMR sheet both the ways for which i wud like to bring it to ur notice that the OBCR(optical bar code reader)scans 1 omr only once after that it rejects that code……n i don think that iit’s will take pain to check the omrs manually….

hey abhi...can't we ask them under RTI act how come things regarding evaluation r being decided after exam is over??

We can.

yeah abhirup (at #187),it's not gonna be accepted by the students .

if we cn make even 50-60 RTI complaints tht will be a BLOW TO DEATH FOR IIT MADRAS n JEE_2010!

after making a complaint send a message here confirming tht u have made a complaint against them.......n so tht we cn get less worried with every complaint made!!!

Citing an error, a non-government organisation (NGO) has approached the Delhi High Court seeking a stay on the publication of the result of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) entrance exam held April 11.

The petition has also sought a fresh entrance test. It is likely to come up in court Tuesday.

Raising the issue of an error in the instructions for examinees who took the IIT joint entrance examination (IIT-JEE) in Hindi, the NGO filed the public interest litigation (PIL) Saturday.

‘In the interest of justice, the court may pass an interim order or stay directing the respondent (IIT) not to announce the result in the meantime, till the pendency of the writ petition,’ the PIL said.

‘Due to the error, students who took the entrance exam in Hindi suffered a blow in more than one way,’ M. Shakeel Khan, counsel for the NGO told IANS.

Chairman of the IIT-JEE, T.S. Natarajan has denied any plan to re-conduct the entrance examination.

‘There is no need for re-conducting the examination. For the Hindi question paper problem, corrective measure will be decided in a committee meeting and it will be shared with people,’ Natarajan told IANS over phone.

He also added that the results will be declared as per schedule.

Anand Kumar, director-cum-founder of Bihar-based Super 30 coaching centre for the economically poor, has favoured a fresh exam.

‘The IIT must re-conduct the entrance examination as the problem in the question paper is very serious and meeting of the directors of the IITs held on Sunday also could not find any concrete solution,’ Anand told IANS over phone

I have written JEE this year and i have lost half an hour in the first paper due to that goof up in the ORS sheet and question paper due to erasing and writing back the answers twice.
I strongly am in favour of re exam. IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. Sitting here and talking dosent make sense while IIT Chennai is busy bracing itself to face the students on 2nd. I Appeal to all of you to extend your support to me . I am planning to file a PIL in court with the help of my parents. And it would really work if we had numbers. JOIN ME STUDENTS. The interested people can mail me their contact info to me.

hey anyone knows what happened about the PIL hearing on tuesday

New Delhi, April 26:Human resource development minister Kapil Sibal today asked the IITs to declare by May 2 how they would compensate students for errors in this year’s joint entrance examination (JEE). The minister is reportedly unhappy with the explanations given by the tech schools. An upset Sibal quizzed the directors of IIT Madras, Delhi and Kanpur whom he had summoned to seek an explanation on how the errors had crept in. The IITs have admitted to the errors in an internal report. An NGO has approached Delhi High Court seeking to stall the declaration of results. Sibal’s plan to summon the directors and the admission of the errors by the IITs in their report to the minister were reported by The Telegraph on April 25. Sources present at today’s meeting said Sibal asked the IITs to ensure against the repetition of such errors. The IIT directors reportedly told him that many students don’t read the instructions and so would not have suffered because of the misleading instructions. Sibal, sources said, shot down the argument. “I have also appeared for many examinations and always studied the instructions,” the minister is understood to have told the IIT bosses. The directors promised Sibal that they would place on the IIT-JEE website by May 2 the details of corrective measures they would take to see no student’s score is affected by the errors. But the trio also told him that the test could not be re-conducted as demanded by Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar. IIT Madras organised the JEE this year on April 11. The optical mark reader answer sheet wrongly instructed students to mark math answers where they needed to mark physics answers, and physics instead of math. Hindi question papers allocated three marks each for a set of questions that were actually worth eight marks, misleading students who took the test in Hindi about the true value of these questions. This error triggered concerns that given examination time constraints, students who took the test in Hindi might have chosen to spend less time on these questions thinking that they carried fewer marks. A handful of students who took the test in Hindi also had sections missing in the question paper. The deadline set by Sibal and accepted by the IITs assumes significance because of the PIL filed by the NGO in Delhi High Court seeking a stay on the declaration of IIT-JEE results. The NGO has demanded a fresh test. It is likely to come up for hearing tomorrow.

Thanx a ton Abhirup , 4 that info. [1]

@ ROHIT
They have said that they announced at all the centres. How can they prove it? They cant. Moreover, even if we were informed, we were never given any extra time to change our answers.

@all
Its not fair that those bunch of politicians can mortgage the futures of bright students for their own personal benefits. they have no right to and if we decide to raise a voice we can!

@ramkumar
I have filed a PIL myself online at the Supreme Court.

@ all
Others who wanna join, please goto this link and click e-filing:

@TIITians
Please dont fight among ourselves. United we stand.
Those who are not in favor of re-exams. why at all are u commenting on a thread that doesnt interest you. so stay off!! we dont ant such losers who r afraid of a fair exams. do we?

@all
the govt. as well as the IIT's will be against a re-exam as it would expose the blunders they have committed since time- immemorial. Just think of the times when there was no Right to Info act and the question papers were not returned to students.

@jabbujabbu
Who the hell is T.S. Nattu to rule out the possibility of re-exam? Its definitely not his future on the bet.

@alexafast
no online campaign will work!! what do ya think, those jerks would ever check out what we parents, students and teachers are writing on such public forums. forget it and welcum to India

@siddu4u
checking the paper both ways might seem a promising solution. but think of those who had change their answers on the omr after the announcements were made. think of those whose 2nd paper was ruined after they found out about the blunder after exiting the examination hall post paper 1.
how will they satisfy the diverse problems on 2nd may? They wont be able to! I can bet on it. But they are sure to lure some of us- i am sure.

@heavenonearth
The Right to Information Act entitles you to information from any Government or Government funded agency. What do you expect, the Government to display how many RTI questions they had to face after the blunders they committed. No way

If we want re-exams, we need to seek help from the judiciary and NGO's only. Therefore I wont expect the students and parents here to waste their time on RTI.
Even if you dont wanna file a PIL, you can write a letter to the high court of ur area and the Supreme Court. Even a formally written letter may be considered as a petition- especially when the issue is of such public importance.

supremecourt@nic.in

But I would recommend that u guys also file PIL on the e-filing option. Its only INR 1.50 per page of the petition u file. You dont even need an advocate on record. just do the formalities urself. And guys please spread the message!

@Abhirup
Just look at those egotistical jerks. How easily they said that re-exam is not possible? Is the Govt. Of India so poor? I dont think so! And why not make these directors pay for their mistakes? Isnt it a rule at IIT that whoever commits a mistake pays heavily?
I suggest why not scrap their salaries for a quarter of the year. How would they feel then?

Guys its time to act. Please do support me if you think I stand justified.

@ sidu4u
You may be right. But do you know, that they have been forced to do it *early* 'cause otherwise the case would re-open and they will not be able to publish the results.
We all know that there could be no possible way to satisfy the diverse problems of the student from a single such solution except re-exam.
Believe me, the directors now can't decide or rule out a re-exam. Its certainly not in their hands. They are just making statements to discourage us into thinking that a re-exam is actually not possible. But my friend, its not for them to decide.
Have faith in the judiciary. The thing is that the judiciary has just asked the MHRD to take corrective actions and it would be satisfied with anything they offer unless we offer some resistance and request the courts to probe into the matter independently since it might result in a disgrace for the Govt. and the IIT's both within the nation and abroad.
Moreover, if their strategy is to delay it and trick us into something, I think that a befitting reply would be to express our opinions before the Honorable courts as soon as we get the meal that the directors have been cooking for us.
Lets hope for the best.
And yes if anyone wants the copy of the petition I sent to the supreme court, I can give it to you. All you need to do is to pm me once.

Most serious aspect that need to be looked at in this JEE is that IIT Madras has set the JEE standards back by a few decades back.

After presenting us with such a lovely paper in 2009, this was a indeed a set back and a step back.

All these apart from very serious mistakes in the Hindi version demand a relook at the process followed this year. RETEST is the need of the country

This year's paper seems to encourage Coaching which goes much against their much advertised intention of eliminating this factor.

Mechanisation would have helped in this year's Maths paper. Chemistry - Most questions required remembering reactions

All of those coaching Institutes are understandably mum over this sordid state of affairs
