HRD Ministry clearing way to bring 'single entrance test' for engineering colleges
While expert committee mulling to establish 'one exam, one rank, one counselling' for admissions in engineering institutes like IITs/NITs/IISERs and other, Ministry of Human Resource Development is trying to clear the way for the making it reality.

According to a report published by The Times of India, the ministry is trying to get IITs for conducting the single test so that the quality does not deteriorate. The effort is also to create an exam paper where there are right
The biggest reason for creating the â??single testâ?? is to curb the time taking procedure which puts stress on students. Moreover, the initiative is likely to curb the mushrooming coaching industries that are putting huge financial pressure on students and parents due to multiple examination patterns. The students giving engineering entrance test now undergo two kinds of coaching one for NIT and other engineering colleges and advanced coaching for IITs.
Earlier on October 6, a council meeting headed by Smriti Irani had decided that a core committee will study and evaluate the proposal to hold single entrance test for IITs.

Pitching the National Institute of Technology (NIT) admission procedure, IIT asked for single entrance test for admissions. For NIT, clearing only JEE Mains is required for admissions.
