New JEE Main System: A Curse for NIT Aspirants

                                   New JEE Main System, IIT NIT aspirants, get in iit,
The debate over recent change in JEE Mains has gone to a different level with thousands of students coming out of their shell to show their disappointment for this sudden change. It has taken all students by surprise as they are left with no choice but go for it no matter may come. As believed by many, this controversial change in JEE-mains is likely to decrease the quality of engineers.
For example there was this case of a guy who scored 323 out of 360 in JEE-Main and secured 93.6% in CBSE 2013. He ranked 617 in JEE-Mains. On the other hand, his friend scored 271 out of 360 with 96.2% in CBSE. He was ranked < 600. Here the difference of just 13 marks in boards overshadowed the difference of 52 marks in JEE-Main. Well, this is obviously unjustified.
Students rather believe that the scenario would have been completely different had it been about 40% in boards and 60% in JEE-Main. Students also believe that the education ministry should have notified them with at least a 3-year notice so that they could have prepared themselves accordingly.
Surveys done by several organizations reveal that the change in JEE-Main is really illogical. Students receive marks out of 360 in JEE-Main and their percentile is accordingly calculated. The same applies to the marks obtained by a student in CBSE. With total marks of 360 in JEE-Mains, its only 60% or 216 marks are given importance while the rest 144 marks are contributed by marks obtained by students in boards.
“It is weird. They take your Boards percentile, see how much marks that percentile yielded in mains, and take that in the 216 marks. For example, if your scorer in JEE-main was, say 250, you would have 150/216 in the Final score, and say your board percentile was 95%. If 95% meant 240 marks in Mains, your remaining 144 marks would be contributed by (144/360)*240=96, making your total score 246 out of 360. I find it extremely pointless to equate exams that have very little in common,” said Harshit, a first year IIT-Bombay student.
With the introduction of new percentile rule in JEE-Mains, NITs are likely to suffer a lot. The rule will not allow better students to come ahead and join NITs owing to their not-so-convincing performance in CBSE boards. Hence, it is not a great idea to give so much importance to CBSE boards. Interestingly, students with 150 marks are foraying into NITs while students with 180 or 190 in JEE-Main are in sheer dismay.
This highly controversial change will affect standards of NITs in the long run by decreasing the quality of engineers in the college premises.
However, the change has been implemented effectively and is being followed by NITs. We only believe that the decision taken by education ministry yields benefits in the favor of the deserving student, sooner or later.

Kota Topper Story: Shitikanth IIT JEE 2008 Topper

Image
I gave JEE in 2009 and used to hear about this "topper" guy from the 2nd floor of my hostel. Topper of A1. I didn't pay too much attention. Then one day after my dinner my friends asked me if I noticed who was sitting next to me during the meal. I said no. They said it was the same guy. I didn't care much there either. I saw him for the first time in a cricket field. The lean stick-figure boy who didn't speak much. He had a ball in his hand and a single electric pole was being used as the wicket. I was fielding. I saw him bowl and all my senses absorbed after that was the clattering sound of the ball on the pole. That's when I was introduced Sitikanth. And the stories began! Once during class, V K Bansal (THE BANSAL of Bansal Classes) told us a story of when 2 weeks before JEE Sitikanth came to him, dejected and confused. Saying he had nothing to do. Bansal Sir gave him the toughest integration problems he had, thinking this should be enough to keep him a

The Most Brilliant Students of Kota Ever

Anuj Nagpal(AIR 190):  This guy was the most intelligent person I ever met. In hostel, he was one of the most fun loving guys, he only used to do the assignments of mathematics (only because it was taught to us by the director of the coaching). Though I was not in his hostel but my closest friends were in his hostel and used to tell me all the stuff they did at night. Late night chats, discussion about random things (which had no relation with JEE at all). There was a time when all feared Nagpal and used to say "Nagpal is gonna come and he is going to spoil our full night." That guy was much different from all other people I have ever met.  He got an AIR 190 only because we weren't taught inorganic chemistry, else he would have got much better rank than this.  He is AIR190 in JEEAdv 2014, AIR190(State rank 2) in JEEMain 2014, BITSAT score-398, CBSE 12th %- 97.6. Rajdeep(AIR 1700 in first attempt, AIR 1200 in second attempt):  This was the coolest guy I ever met, studie

How much You can get by Selling your IIT JEE RANK ??

Shubham Tulsiani says This is quite a common practice among institutes so I would like to address the trends too apart from the personal experiences and I'll also write on one aspect the question didn't explicitly ask  - offers  before  JEE Pre-JEE (class 12th) I had a couple of 'offers' - Some people from Akash Institute came over to my place to 'gift' me books to help me prepare for JEE. All I had to do was - guess what - yes, sign a form ! I was amazed at how insistent they were and despite me saying I didnt need the books and wouldn't sign,  they made me keep the books. They then visited / called me about 5 more times to get my signature (until I finally returned the unused books on their last visit and told my hostel guard to not allow them back). I later learnt that they had been giving these 'gifts' to some of my (well performing) batchmates in Bansal Classes too and unfortunately a lot of them had signed up too. I was also on
