SK Joshi, city-coordinator of examination and principal of Vidyasagar School told ToI that after IIT-JEE, AIEEE is the most popular exam in the country. "In the past 10 years, the number of students appearing for AIEEE has increased manifold. We had started with five centres in the city. This year, there will be more than 50 centres in the city," added Joshi.
Country-wide, close to 11 lakh aspirants are expected to appear for the exam that is regarded as the gateway to 30 National Institutes of Technology (NITs) besides five Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IITs), central- and state-funded institutions and self-financed deemed universities and other institutions. Indore is one of the five cities in the state where the offline exam will be conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The exam will be conducted simultaneously in 63 different cities across the country.
However, Indore does not figure among the list of cities where online exam will be conducted. This year 11 lakh students will appear for the AIEEE, which is 50,000 more than last year. More institutions are expected to admit students through AIEEE. A decision in this regard will be taken by the CCB, which will be constituted by HRD ministry, and a list of tentative institutions joining the CCB will be placed on the website: www.ccb.nic.in.
The entrance examination features two papers - Paper-I consisting of three parts of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics of equal weightage with objective type questions for B.E/B.Tech courses and Paper-II consisting of Mathematics, Aptitude Test and Drawing for B Arch and B Planning. The aptitude test is designed to evaluate candidate's perception, imagination, observation, creativity and architectural awareness.
