We have been receiving lots of queries from students who appeared for board examination in 2011 and 2012 but could not get good score. They may remain at loss as the new format for IIT admission will use class 12th marks for preparing the merit list.

But here is the good news, in 2013 CBSE will allow these students to appear for improvement in their class 12th marks through a special provision. As per a press release from HRD, “Those students who have appeared in the Class XII Board examinations in 2012 and wish to improve upon their performance can appear again for the Board examinations in 2013. CBSE and State Boards would make appropriate arrangements to facilitate this through a special dispensation.”

So, be prepared for another round of board examination in 2013. However there is confusion over if students from 2011 will be allowed or given an option to improve their marks.

    The press release mentions students from the year 2012. What about students from the year 2011? We have one attempt left at AIEEE. Would it not be unfair to deny us that attempt?

    Please reply as it could affect the life of me and many other aspirants.

  • bikash says:

    while giving improvement exam,,,can we appear for the practical exams once again.

  • Suresh says:

    Please reply to my query ISEETIndia Team. Students from the 2011 batch are not only being denied a chance at AIEEE but also at State EEE’ as ISEET is also replacing them. Students from 2011 are virtually being denied every opportunity to get in a good engineering college.

    • ISEETIndia Team says:

      There is no notification that ISEET will not allow students from 2011. Please wait for formal announcement. IseetIndia team believes that 2011 students will be allowed a final chance as they are still left with 3rd attempt for their AIEEE.

  • Suresh says:

    I am asking this because in your post, you are saying that students from 2011 are also eligible but the press release only mentions students from 2012. Please reply. This one thing could change my life.

  • Ronit Ghosh says:

    Awesome decision by HRD………..At least every people out there are not senseless…….keep it up….but as per my knowledge the improvement exams were conducted earlier as well…..Am i right??? and do we need to give the exam for each subject or only for the subject of our choice?????

      Sir, I have obtained 67% in 12th std. I fully focused on IIT-2012 but could not succeeded. However, I want to repeat IIT-ISEET- 2013 and time left is very short. How one can go through these two major exams i.e. 12th Borad, and Iseet-2013. Can it not be possible to make iseet compulsory from 2014? If not, will it not be an injustice upon the students who have passed 12th but could not secured above 90 % marks in their 12th Board?

  • ashish says:

    sir, i have given board in 2012 and scored 79% and 77% in pcm, preparin for jee 2013.
    Whats my chance in cbse top 20 percentile.
    Plz reply bcoz it is costing me a one full year.

    • Suresh says:

      Next year, you have zero chances to be in the top 20 percentile with this score. As this is now a basic criteria for IIT-JEE and coaching centres have already started giving coaching for boards, I am assuming that the top 20 percentile would go to 89-90% next year. Could even get higher as coaching centres have dummy schools where all the students will get full marks in practicals.

      I need not tell you that how tough the competition is for IIT. As this is now a basic criteria, competition would come here too and this percentage would definitely rise.

    • Suresh says:

      Really, just tell your family to go **** themselves. If exams matter more to them than their daughter, then I think they don’t deserve to be called parents.

      To improve your situation, you can give give re-exams next year to obtain a pass certificate. If your family throws you out, you can file a complaint against them in a police station and can also file a case against them demanding your stake in your family’s wealth. Please write your email in your next comment if you want more help.
