Just three years after change in JEE Exam, the Ministry Of Human
Resource (MHRD) is now thinking to massive change in JEE 2017 Exam.
To boost the number of students in IIT's, HRD minister Prakash
Javadaekar is expecting to meet with IIT members on an issue
concerning to National Authority for Testing (NAT).
National Authority for Testing exam is aimed at changing the way of
entrance exams to IITs and other top ranking colleges under the
central government are conducted. Consequently, HRD minister is
mulling to establish NAT, which is aimed at assessing the abilities
of candidates before they appear for JEE. HRD minister is thinking to
introduce single test system for admissions in top institutes of India such as NIITs, IITs, GFTIs and IIITs. NAT exam is inspired
from the SAT exam conducted in the United States for admission in
diverse colleges.
Based on the marks obtained from NAT, candidates will be eligible for
JEE Advanced. MHRD will meet IIT Council and will start working on
the blueprint of NAT. The blueprint will comprise changes of entrance
examination structure on which admissions are granted to as
prestigious institutes of technologies as IIT and NITs are.
Major points on Nat Exam:
NAT will be conducted online four times in a year and it will test
the analytical aptitude of the students instead of subject knowledge.
National Authority for Testing (NAT) exam will be conducted as a
general aptitude test whose score will be used to shortlist
candidates for diverse engineering programs.
From October 2016 the NAT's exam services will expected to be
implemented for the session 2017.
The NAT 2017 exam will help in identifying aspirants scientific bent
of mind and will help in reducing the student’s dependency on
coaching Institutes.
