admission to professional and technical programmes in the country. For admission to Engineering and Architecture/Planning programmes, Government of India vide Resolution dated 18th October 2001 has laid down a Three – Exam Scheme (JEE and AIEEE at the National Level and the State Level Engineering Entrance Examinations (SLEEE) for State Level Institutions – with an option to join AIEEE). This takes care of varying admission standards in these programmes and helps in maintenance of professional standards. This also solves problems of overlaps and reduces physical, mental and financial burden on students and their parents due to multiplicity of entrance examinations.
The eighth All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) was held on 26th April’ 2009. 9,62,119 candidates appeared, out of 10,10,061 candidates registered, for the examination at 1,460 centres located in 85 cities. Approximately, 23,676 seats for B E/B.Tech and 855 seats for B.Arch/ B. Planning in various institutions, namely National Institutes of Technology, Deemed Universities, Technical Institutions and other Govt. funded Institutions were offered through this examination. A centralized counselling had been organized for filling up the All India seats.
The States/Institutes listed below used AIEEE-2009 ranks to fill seats through their own counselling:- West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Punjab University, Chandigarh, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, Gandhinagar, Army Institute of Technology, Pune, 15% all India quota for D C E/ N.S.I.T, Delhi under Delhi University.
Keeping in view greater variety of subjects offered by different School Boards at the 10+2 (Class – XII) level, more subject combinations in qualifying examination (10+2) would now be possible. For the convenience of candidates, provision for on-line submission of Application Form has also been made.
This year many other institutions are expected to admit students through AIEEE. Decision in this regard will be taken by the Central Counselling Board to be constituted by MHRD and a list of tentative institutions joining the CCB will be placed on the website of CCB i.e. www.ccb.nic.in.
A list of nomenclature of courses approved by AICTE at the undergraduate level in Engineering and Architecture/ Planning is given in Appendix-II.
