Re: IIT-Kanpur defies Sibal; will have own exam from 2013
After Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur rejected the Centre's 'one-nation one-test' proposal and decided to conduct its own entrance exam from next year, IIT-Delhi alumni association is pushing IIT-Delhi to follow the suit.
A decision is expected to be taken next week when the senate of IIT-Delhi meet in New Delhi next week.
"In all likelihood, IIT-Delhi senate seems to be geared up to follow the suit of IIT-Kanpur senate," IIT Delhi alumni president Somnath Bharti told PTI.In its Friday's meeting, the senate of IIT-Kanpur had said.
HRD Minister Kapil Sibal on May 28 had announced that from 2013, aspiring candidates for IITs and other central institutes like NITs and IIITs will have to sit under a new format of common entrance test, which will also take plus two board results into consideration.
