Get online to take AIEEE
Students aspiring to take up All India Engineering Entrance Examination (
AIEEE) this year will be in for a surprise as they cannot write the pen-paper model of the examination. Instead, they need to sit for a compute based test.
In order to have wider availability of application forms this year CBSE has decided to accept application forms only through its website.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (
CBSE), which conducts the examination, has withdrawn the pen-paper based test in several cities, including Chennai replacing it with computer-based test (CBT).
Mr Pitam Singh, director (special exams), CBSE said last year the Board conducted CBT in select cities on a trial basis which proved to be a great success.
With this success and to provide flexible schedule of examination, the Board has decided to conduct CBT in Chennai from May 7 to 25, next year. However students from Coimbatore and Madurai would take up the examination on April 29, next year.
In order to have wider availability of application forms CBSE has decided to accept application forms only through its website and no physical form will be sold this year.
This according to CBSE will ensure availability of forms through its website at all places and without any time constraint.
Students can pay the fees using credit/debit cards or demand drafts. To facilitate students filling online application form, CBSE will open a facilitation centre in each and every city from where physical forms were sold in the past.
