The Union Human Resource Ministry proposes a single national level entrance exam, called the Indian Science Engineering Eligibility Test to replace IIT-JEE and AIEEE from 2013

Indian Science Engineering Eligibility Test is the single test proposed to be conducted from next year onwards to replace the IIT-JEE and AIEEE.  ISEET is being initiated by Ministry of HRD, Government of India to bring in unification in Science & Engineering exams in India. The introduction of this test is expected to help do away with multiple entrance examinations and thereby reduce the stress levels of students.

All Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), four Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), five Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) and few deemed universities which come under the purview of the HRD Ministry would at present accept the score of  ISEET. ISEET is expected to be conducted in either in March or April 2013.

Exam Pattern

ISEET will have two parts, Main and Advance, each of three hours duration. Both tests will be given on the same day, between 10 am and 5 pm.

ISEET Main will be an objective type exam, and will test comprehension, critical thinking and logical reasoning. ISEET Advance will test problem-solving ability in basic science subjects. The two tests together will indicate a candidate’s scholastic level and aptitude for science and engineering.

A student’s performance in the Class 12 Board exam will be considered, with a weight not be less than 40 per cent of the total score. The combined weightage for ISEET Main and Advance will not be more than 60 per cent; however, the weightage given to Board scores can go up to 100 per cent.
