It’s official. There will be no IIT-JEE and AIEEE exams from 2013. Students will have to take the new Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) for admissions to prestigious IITs, NITs, IIITs, deemed universities and other centrally funded technical institutions between April and June 2013.

JEE will be held in two parts — JEE (Main) and JEE (Advanced). More importantly, the marks secured in 10+2 board exams will play a decisive role during final selection of students for admissions to these top institutions, which is not the case till now.

A good rank secured in the new JEE will no longer guarantee a seat for students in top institutions as is the case now unless they perform well in 10+2 board exams too.

Putting to rest all confusion surrounding the AIEEE and IIT-JEE exams, the CBSE finally came out with an official statement that JEE (Main) will replace the AIEEE exam and JEE (Advanced) will replace the IIT-JEE from 2013.
