The NIT Council is the body that governs all the NITs, IISERs & IIEST. There was a meeting last month to discuss proposals to further strengthen the education system of NITs. Some of the recommendations which the core committee of NIT is evaluating are:
- Change the system of assigning 40% weightage on 12th scores. The allocation and ranking will be solely on the JEE scores.
- One Rank, One Exam, One Counselling: the JEE-Advanced will be revamped which will assist in admissions for both IITs & NITs. The admission to the IITs and NITs will be based on the results of the JEE examination instead of JEE advanced for IITs and JEE Main for NITs.
Another discussion point of the meeting was increasing the fees at the NITs. Currently at Rs. 70,000 PA, it is expected to skyrocket to nearly Rs. 2,00,000 PA.
While increasing the fees is a good idea - it will reduce the load on the government in subsidizing education, and they have come up with plans to ensure it does not hurt students, the other recommendations do need a lot of introspection.
