JEE-2013-Impact of JEE Mains-Advanced-JEE Replaces What

Why JEE, Its Impact and JEE Replaces What:

1. To create an umbrella or single entrance exam for all engineering aspirants in India.
2. Currently, India has 2500+ Engineering Colleges (Govt.+Private), resulting in over 50 different Entrance Examinations for admission into various Govt. & Pvt. Engineering colleges.
3. On an average a student appears in 5-­‐6 entrance exams, thereby causing unnecessary stress on them as well as on parents.

Impact of JEE:

JEE shall replace -
