The demand of the members of faculty forum of IIT-Kanpur of convening an urgent meeting of the academic senate to discuss HRD ministry's proposal of making changes in the joint entrance examination and conducting Common Entrance Test (CET) in 2013 for students willing to take admission into IITs, NITs, and IIITs, has been accepted by chairman Sanjay Govind Dhande. The meeting would be held on June 8.
A member of faculty forum said that if other IITs will agree and do what HRD ministry wants, then IIT-Kanpur will conduct its own entrance examination. This issue will be discussed in the senate meeting.
A group of faculty members said all the issues related to the JEE-2013 and CET would be discussed.Some faculty members are against the common entrance test which the HRD ministry wants to conduct in 2013. They are also protesting against the proposed changes in the JEE where the performance candidates in class XII would also be taken into consideration. A total of 40 per cent of a student's performance would be measured through his class XII marks and the remaining would be valued through the JEE.
The teachers are also angry that their suggestions were ignored by the HRD ministry.
Meanwhile, the members of the faculty forum told TOI that they will not accept the common entrance test as recommended by HRD ministry as IITs have their own standards which cannot be at par with other entrance examinations.
The teachers mentioned that IIT council, the apex body for the IITs in the country, would be required to pass an ordinance before the implementation of the new proposals made by HRD ministry.
