No advantage for students from higher scoring boards IIT-JEE 2013 : 

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to normalize Class 12 board results.

This means that students from boards giving higher scores may no longer have an advantage.

Faculty from IIT Bombay had earlier stated that giving 40 percent weightage to Class 12 boards would result in weaker students gaining admissions to the IITs. This was because of the varying difficulty of boards across the country.

Students who sat for JEE (Main) will now look at two factors when normalizing results:

- Performance in JEE (Main)
- Performance of other students on the same school board

Over 10.5 lakh students sat for JEE (Main), out of which 1.5 lakh will gain admission to the 16 IITs and Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad.

Five subjects will be used for the normalization process:

- Physics
- Mathematics
- Biology OR Chemistry OR Biotechnology OR Computer Science
- One language
-Any subject other than the above
There have been no details from CBSE on whether answer keys will be published or when Paper 2 results will be declared.

CBSE: No more sample papers for Class 10, 12

CBSE will no longer issue sample papers for Class 10 and 12 board exams. The board made the decision after it realized that students were identifying particular areas of the syllabus from past year papers and limited their studies to those sections. CBSE has introduced a range of methods that include open book learning and application based questions to discourage rote learning. The number of students scoring wel lhas increased over the years. The CBSE is reported to believe that this has more to do with students identifying sections to study rather than students becoming smarter. The number of students scoring above90 percent has doubled from 2008 to 2013. The news may come as a surprise to students as sample papers have been available from 1993. Studying from past year papers was acommon revision technique for students across boards. Students from next year may have to study the entire syllabus. One positive aspect that may come out of CBSE’s decision is that colleges may have to lower cut-offs. Top colleges have extremely high cut-offs owing to high scores in Class 12 exams.  Source: Indian Colleges URL : www.examhook.com
