AIEEE to go online
After CAT, its now the All-India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE) scheduled to be held nationwide on April 29, 2012, which will go online.
Though the online mode was an option this year as well, but a majority of students opted for the conventional pen and paper mode. While the Central Board of Secondary Education had expected 1 lakh students, out of the 11.5 lakh applicants, to opt for the online mode, only 5,000 did so.
Despite the lukewarm response, the board has decided to shun the conventional pen and paper format and go ahead with the online mode in wake of this year’s question paper leak which forced several students to take the exam again. In a circular issued on August 18, the board said, “This year, the CBSE is planning to conduct online exams on a mass scale. Students are advised to acquaint themselves with the new method. An competent agency will be employed to ensure the smooth conduct of the test.”
