About AIEEE

INTRODUCTION

Programme of Action (PoA), 1992 under the National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986 envisaged conduct of a common entrance examination on all India basis for 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 third All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) was held on 20th & 21st May 2004. 3,57,266 candidates, out of 4,17,723 candidates registered, appeared for the examination at 765 centres located in 102 cities. Approximately, 9000 seats in 117 institutions, namely 18 National Institutes of Technology, 15 Deemed Universities and 79 other Technical Institutions, 3 other Govt. funded Institutions and 2 State Universities were offered through this examination. In the States of Haryana and Rajasthan, 15% open seats in State level institutions and 100% seats at State Level Institutions in Himachal Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Uttranchal & U.T of Chandigarh were filled up through this examination. A centralized counselling had been organized for filling up the All India seats.
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. A tentative list of institutions and States/UTs likely to admit students on the basis of AIEEE-2005 is given in Appendix-I. Final list of institutions admitting students through AIEEE-2005 would be contained in the Information Brochure for Counselling and released on AIEEE website in due course. A list of nomenclature of courses approved by AICTE at the undergraduate level in Engineering and Architecture/Planning is given in Appendix-II.
