History
The IITJEE was conducted for the first time in 1960, when it had four subjects including an Englishlanguage paper. The examination since evolved considerably from its initial pattern. The IITJEEwas initially called the Common Entrance Exam (CEE); its creation coincided with that of the 1961IIT Act.
In 1997, the IITJEE was conducted twice after the question paper was leaked in some centers.
Between 2000 and 2005, an additional screening test was used alongside the main examination,intended to reduce pressure on the main examination by allowing only about 20,000 topcandidates to sit the paper, out of more than 450,000 applicants.
In September 2005, an analysis group of directors of all the IITs announced major reforms to theexamination. These were implemented from 2006 onwards. The revised test consisted of a singleobjective test, replacing the earlier twotest system. In order to be eligible for the main
examination, candidates in the general category had to secure a minimum of 60% aggregatedmarks in the qualifying examination of the XIIth standard organized by various educational boardsof India, while candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and PhysicallyDisabled (PD) categories must secure a minimum of 55%.
In 2008, the Director and the Dean of IIT Madras called for revisions to the examination, arguingthat the coaching institutes were "enabling many among the lessthanbest students to crack thetest and keeping girls from qualifying". They expressed concern that the present system did notallow for applicants' 12 years of schooling to have a bearing on admissions into IITs.
In 2008, the Indian Institutes of Technology, for the first time, went overseas with their entranceexamination as they set up a centre for the competitive test in Dubai. The number of candidatesappearing in Dubai hovered around 200 to 220.
