From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bold textTo face the shortage of Indian Police Service officers in India as a result the high attrition in the Indian Police Service,
the Ministry of Home Affairs proposed the formation of Indian Police Service Limited Competitive Examination to be
conducted by UPSC. IPS Limited Competitive Examination was held for the first time in 2012. This is in addition to the Civil
Services Examination conducted by UPSC itself, for recruitment to the various civil services including Indian Police Service.The
Central Administrative Tribunal(CAT) has struck down the examination following the challenge by some state cadre police
officers.Consequent to the CAT verdict,UPSC has withheld the declaration of final results of 2012 examination.Now the Ministry
of Home Affairs is trying to sort out the legal matters as soon as possible.(updated on 7th July 2014)

The Civil Services Examination (CSE) is a nationwide competitive examination in India conducted by the Union Public Service
Commission for recruitment to various Civil Services of the Government of India, including Indian Administrative
Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Revenue Service (IRS) among others.[1]Of all the
Civil Services only two, namely Indian Administrative Service and Indian Foreign Service are premier civil services of
Government of India as appointment to anyone of these renders a person ineligible to reappear in Civil Services Examination.
[2]
The examination is one of the toughest examinations in India with success rate of 0.1%-0.3% with more than 900,000
applicants. It is conducted in two phases - the Preliminary examination, consisting of two objective-type papers (General
Studies and Aptitude Test), and the Main examination, consisting of nine papers of conventional (essay) type followed by the
Personality Test (Interview).[1] The entire process from the notification of the Preliminary examination to declaration of the final
results takes roughly one year.[1]

Process[edit]
The Civil Services Examination is based on the British Raj - era Imperial Civil Service, as well as the civil service tests
conducted by old Indian Empires such as in the Mauryan Empire, and the Mughal Empire. The Civil Services Examination of
India is considered to be one of the most difficult and competitive examinations in India. On an average, 9 to 10 lakh (900,000
to 1,000,000) candidates apply every year and the number of candidates appearing is roughly 4.5 lakh for the examination.
Aspirants must complete a three-stage process, with a final success rate of about 0.3% of the total applicants.
Stage I: Preliminary examination - This is qualifying test held in August every year. Notification for this is published in
May. Results are published in the first half of August.
Stage II: Main examination - This is the main test, held in December every year. Results are usually published in the
second week of March.
Stage III: Personality Test (Interview) - It is the final test and is held in April/May every year. Final results are usually
announced in the month of May every year
The training program for the selected candidates usually commences on 1st September every year.

A degree from a Central, State or Deemed university[1]
A degree received through Correspondence Education or Distance
A degree from an Open University[3]
A qualification recognized by the Government of India as being

competent authority at their institute/university at the time of the main examination, failing which they will not be allowed to
attend the exam.[1]
Candidates who have appeared in an examination, the passing of which

Indian Universities (AIU)
Age[edit]
Prescribed age limits vary with respect to the caste reservations. The minimum age for everyone is 21 years. The upper age
limit for General category is 30 years. One who turns 21 on August 1 is eligible where as one who turns 30 on August 1 of the
year of examination is not eligible. For OBC category upper age limit is 33, and for SC/ST it is 35 years. Upper age limit
relaxation[5] is provided to certain candidates who are backward with respect to other factors and physically handicapped people.
[6]
The new government of Narendra Modi is planning to reduce the age limit. Its not yet implemented but the government is
planning to reduce the upper age limit from 30 to 26 for General category, 33 to 28 for OBC category, and 35 to 29 for SC/ST
category. This has no effect on 2014 examinations, but if decided then would be effected from 2015 year of examination. [7] There
will be an additional two years for physically challenged candidates in each category.[8]
Numbers of attempts[edit]
The number of attempts a candidate can give the exam is limited as follows:[3]
General Category Candidates and OBC Category Candidates under the Creamy layer = 6[9] attempts
OBC Category Candidates = 9 attempts
SC/ST Candidates = Unlimited
However these candidates are requested to bear in mind:

1. An attempt at a Preliminary Examination shall be considered to be an attempt at the Examination.
2. If a candidate actually appears in any one paper in the Preliminary Examination, he/she shall be deemed to have made
an attempt at the Examination.
3. Not withstanding the disqualification/cancellation of candidature, the fact of appearance of the candidate at the
examination will count as an attempt.
4. Candidates just applied but not appeared at the exam is not an attempt.
According to the information published on the website of the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, the
Narendra Modi's government is planning to reduce the number of attempts. Making it 3 for General category, 5 for OBC
category, and 6 for SC/ST category. If decided, then this change will come with effect from 2015 year of examination. [10]
Vacancies and Selection[edit]

Generally the number of vacancies varies every year. In the preliminary examination, the number of candidate selected for the
mains is 11 or 12 times the number of vacancies and in case of the main examination, the number of candidates selected for
the interview is twice the number of vacancies. As per existing policies, reservation for SC/ST/OBC is applied to each level of
the selection process. For example, if the number of vacancies in a given year is 1000, and 100,000 candidates appear for the
preliminary examination; the top 11,000 or 12,000 scorers will be selected for the mains and similarly, out of those 12,000 only
the top 2,000 scorers will be called for the interview subject to their respective reservation quota.
In 2006, around 400,000 candidates applied for fewer than 500 vacancies and around 7,500 got through the preliminary and
appeared in the Mains exam. In 2010, 5,47,698 candidates appeared for the preliminary exam. [11]
To secure a place in the highly sought after Indian Administrative Service (IAS), a candidate must secure a rank in the top 70, a
success rate of around 0.025 percent.
The number of vacancies in 2011 was approximately 880.[1]

Preliminary[edit]
The pattern of the Preliminary examination up to 2010 was based on the recommendations of the Kothari Commission (1979). It
included two examinations, one on general studies worth 150 marks, and the second on one of 23 optional subjects worth 300
marks.[4][12] Until 2011, when it was revamped,[12] the preliminary pattern was sustained with only minor changes once every ten to
fifteen years. It is possible that in the coming years there can be some more changes in the format. [12]
From 2011 onwards, the Preliminary examination, now popularly known as the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT)( officially it is
still called General Studies Paper-1 and Paper-2), intends to focus on analytical abilities and understanding rather than the
ability to memorize. The new pattern includes two papers of two hours duration and 200 marks each. [11] Both papers have
multiple choice objective type questions only.[11] They are as under:
Paper I tests the candidate's knowledge on current events, history of India and Indian national movement, Indian and
World Geography, Indian Policy and governance, Economic and social development, environmental ecology, biodiversity,
climate change and general science.[11] To qualify minimum marks should be 30.
Paper II tests the candidates' skills in comprehension, interpersonal skills, communication, logical reasoning, analytical
ability, decision making, problem solving, basic numeracy, data interpretation, English language comprehension skills and
mental ability.[11] To qualify minimum marks should be 70.
Note: These papers are qualifying in nature and are not used for ranking. Hence their marks are not added to the total.
Candidates who fail these papers as per the Commission's standards are not eligible for the mains.
Mains[edit]
The Civil Services Mains Examination consists of a written examination and an interview.[1]
Examination[edit]
The written examination consists of nine papers, two qualifying and seven ranking in nature. [1] The range of questions may vary
from just one mark to sixty marks, twenty words to 600 words answers. Candidates who pass qualifying papers are ranked
according to marks and a selected number of candidates are called for interview or a personality test at the Commission's
discretion
According to the new marks allocations in Civil Service Examination 2013 there are some changes made in the examination
according to the suggestion of the Prof. Arun. S. Nigavekar Committee.[13] However, after some controversy, the qualifying
papers for Indian languages and English were restored to the examination. [14]
In August 2014, the Centre announced that English marks in CSAT-II will not be included for gradation or merit and 2011
candidates may get a second chance to appear for the test next year.[15]

Interview[edit]
Officially called the "Personality Test", the objective of the interview is to assess the personal suitability of the candidate for a
career in public service by a board of competent and unbiased observers. The test is intended to evaluate the mental calibre of
a candidate. In broad terms, this is really an assessment of not only a candidate's intellectual qualities, but also social traits and
interest in current affairs. Some of the qualities to be judged are mental alertness, critical powers of assimilation, clear and
logical exposition, balance of judgement, variety and depth of interest, ability for social cohesion and leadership, and intellectual
and moral integrity.
The technique of the interview is not that of a strict cross-examination, but of a natural, though directed and purposive
conversation that is intended to reveal the mental qualities of the candidate.
The interview is not intended to be a test either of the specialised or general knowledge of the candidate, which has been
already tested through written papers. Candidates are expected to have taken an intelligent interest not only in their special
subjects of academic study, but also in the events which are happening around them both within and outside their own state or
country as well as in modern currents of thought and in new discoveries which should rouse the curiosity of all well-educated
youth.
Indian Engineering Services

(Redirected from Engineering Services Examination)
Indian Engineering Services (Hindi: ), abbreviated as IES are the civil services that meet the technical
and managerial functions of the Government of India. Like most countries, the Government of India recruits its civil servants and
officials on the basis of merit, the middle management positions in the bureaucracy are filled through competitive exams. Large
number of candidates take these exams, competing for limited posts. IES officers are selected by the union government on the
recommendations made by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). A combined four-stage competitive examination
(comprising six tests), called the Engineering Services Examination (ESE) is conducted by the UPSC for recruitment to the
Indian Engineering Services.[1]
IES remain the most sought-after careers for the engineering graduates in India. [2][3][4] In the year 2010, a total of 157,649
candidates applied for 434 vacancies (includes all branches and cadres). [5][6] In 2011, a total number of 693 candidates were
recommended for appointments in these four lists include 317 General, 209 Other Backward Classes, 113 Scheduled Castes
and 54 Scheduled Tribes, including 44 candidates belonging to PH (Physically Handicapped category). [7] ESE 2012 was
conducted for the recruitment of candidates to as many as 560 posts, which also includes 47 vacancies available only for the
PH category.[8] ESE 2013 was conducted for the recruitment of candidates to as many as 763 posts, which also includes 19
vacancies available only for the PH category.[9]
ESE is therefore considered as the toughest exam in India and amongst the toughest in the world due to less number of posts
having a selection ratio of 0.00275 (based on 2010 statistics) and its technical nature. Most toppers of this exam are graduates
of institutes like the Indian Institutes of Technology[10][11] and Indian Institute of Science.[12] Because of this difficult selection
procedure, IES officers carry high respect and stature in society and are able to manage activities in diverse areas. Government
spending comprises more than 15 percent of India's GDP and given the extent of tasks and functions managed by the public
sector, this extends to a fairly broad segment of the economy covering the railways, roads, defense, manufacturing, inspection,
supply, construction, public works, power, telecommunications, etc.[13][14] All appointments to the Group A services are made by
the President of India.[15]

The conventional answer sheets of a candidate are evaluated only when he / she qualifies the objective examination.
Interview[edit]
This is the fourth and final stage; candidates who qualify the written exam are called for the interview. Interview carries 200
marks. Officially called "Personality Test", the object of the interview is to assess the personal suitability of the candidate for a
career in public service by a Board of competent and unbiased observers. The test is intended to judge the mental caliber of a
candidate. In broad terms this is really an assessment of not only his intellectual qualities but also social traits and his interest in
current affairs. Some of the qualities to be judged are mental alertness, critical powers of assimilation, clear and logical
exposition, balance of judgement, variety and depth of interest, ability for social cohesion and leadership, intellectual and moral
integrity.
The technique of the interview is not that of a strict cross-examination but of a natural, though directed and purposive
conversation which is intended to reveal the mental qualities of the candidate.
The interview test is not intended to be a test either of the specialized or general knowledge of the candidates which has been
already tested through their written papers. Candidates are expected to have taken an intelligent interest not only in their
special subjects of academic study but also in the events which are happening around them both within and outside their own
state or country as well as in modern currents of thought and in new discoveries which should rouse the curiosity of well
educated youth.
These four stages ensure that the candidates selected, are best suited to handle the responsibilities which will be entrusted to
them. The selected candidates then undergo training at the academies / institutes of their respective cadres that makes them
acquainted with the area of work, the cadre / service is engaged in.

The Indian Railway Accounts Service (IRAS) (Hindi: Bharatiya Rail Lekha Seva ) is a Group A Central
Service of the Government of India. The officers of this service are responsible for the Accounts and Finance Management of
the Indian Railways. About 10-15 IRAS officers are recruited every year through Civil Services Examination conducted by Union
Public Service Commission. At present, the IRAS cadre has a strength of about 650 officers. [1]

History of IRAS[edit]
In 1921, the Acworth Committee recommended, and ratified through the Resolution for separation in 1924, that the Indian
Railway finances should be separated from the General Finances. This segregation of Railway Finances together with
acceptance in principle at least of the responsibility for the direct operation of its Railways was a watershed moment in the
history of Railway Account Service, as it was for the Railways as a whole. [2]
The growth and genesis of the service can be traced to the Acworth Committee report and becomes evident from these
significant recommendations which are quoted below:
" We recommend that the Finance Department should cease to control the internal finances of the Railways; that the Railways
should have a separate Budget of their own, be responsible for earning and expending their own income and for providing such
net revenues as is required to meet the interest on debt incurred on or to be incurred by the Government for Railways
purposes; and that the Railways Budget should be presented to the Legislative Assembly not by the Finance minister of the
council but by the member in charge of the Railways." (Paras 74, 76 and 127 of the Acworth Committee report)
" We recommend, that subject to independent audit by Government of India, the Railways Department should employ its own
accounting staff and be responsible for its own accounts. We think that the present account and statistics should be thoroughly
overhauled and remodeled with the assistance of experts familiar with recent practices in other countries." (Paras 129-134 of
Acworth Committee Report)
" We recommend that greater facilities should be provided for training Indians for the superior posts in Railway service and that
the process of their employment in such posts should be accelerated." (Paras 182-184 of Acworth Committee Report)
It further goes on to recommend that the "title of Railway Board be replaced by the title of Railway Commission and that under
the member of Council for Communications there should be 4 commissioners and that out of the 4, one should be in charge of
Finance and the organization ..."
With these recommendations not only was the segregation of Railway Finance clearly established, but the office of the Financial
Commissioner was envisaged in an embryonic manner, and accordingly, the first Financial Commissioner was appointed on 1
April 1923. The necessity of such an appointment was thus emphasized by the Acworth Committee, The large financial
responsibility of the department being perhaps sufficient justification in itself for the addition to the organization of a member
competent to advise on the questions of great financial magnitude. [2]
The need for a new service was reinforced by yet another recommendation of the Acworth Committee which was with regard to
the Railway Department having its own accounting staff and being responsible for its accounts, subject to an independent audit
by the Auditor General of India.[2]
With the post of Financial Commissioner firmly in place, the requirement for an organisational set up with staff became
imminent, and the ground was clearly laid for the growth of a new service which would henceforth meet the burgeoning needs
of the growingly autonomous finance department of Indian Railways.
Consequently, it was just a matter of time before new service would gently disengage itself from the shackles of the Indian Audit
and Accounts Service and the embryonic growth of a new service would announce itself.
The process was now set in motion and in the late 1920s, the Government of India decided to from a new Class I central
service, viz IRAS, which would occupy top ranks of the Railway Accounts Department gradually replacing Indian Audit and
Accounts Service officers.
Accordingly, from 1 April 1929, the responsibility for the compilation of accounts for the Railways was taken over by the
Financial Commissioner, Railways from the Auditor General. The Accounts organisation was thus brought under the control of
the Financial Commissioner, Railways, and the Indian Railway Accounts Service was constituted simultaneously.[2]
However, every process of birth has its hiccups, though technically it was intended that from 1929, recruitment should be for the
new IRAS service, procedural formalities delayed this recruitment and so 2 officers of 1929 batch who were recruited for
the Indian Audit and Accounts Service were "permanently seconded" to the IRAS. Accordingly, for the first time two officers, Mr
Apjit Singh & Mr N C Deb joined the service. It was only in 1930 that two officers, Mr C T Venugopal and Mr D P Mathur, were
recruited "directly" for the first time. The onward march of the service had clearly begun.
The closing years of the 1950s and the fore part of the 1960s remain perhaps the most memorable for the chronicler of IRAS in
many ways. The cadre burgeoned by more than 50 in just three years. Massive investments in the second Five Year Plan
provided a windfall for Indian Railways, with the inevitable challenge to finance management. Cadre management came to
occupy the attention of the top brass. Modernisation of accounting work with mainframe computers also began in this period.
The service continued to wade through these tumultuous waters through the 1960s and 1970s.
During the 1990s, the position of Indian Railway Finances deteriorated as the organisation hitherto had been working more for
fulfilment of social obligations of the Government of India like providing employment, affordable and subsidised transport to the
common public etc. The Rakesh Mohan Committee report in 2001 on Indian Railways Finances observed thus ...
The Indian Railways (IR) has been a vital component of the social, political and economic life of the country. IR's transportation
network has played a key role in weaving India into a nation. This network has not only integrated markets but also people
across the length and breadth of this huge country. IR's role in times of war and natural calamities has also been commendable:
it has always risen to the occasion and transported men and materials in large numbers at short notice. It is because of these
reasons that IR is one of the foremost institutions of the country today. At the same time, because of a series of developments
in the 1990s, IR is today on the verge of a financial crisis. Urgent action is needed to revitalise it so that it can continue to serve
the nation.
... These tendencies became accentuated in the 1990s and the economics of IR are now extremely vulnerable. For first time in
17 years last year IR was not able to pay a dividend to the government on its past investment. It is in financial crisis. Its ability to
invest adequately in providing efficient and cost competitive services in the future is seriously in question. Thus IR is in a
watershed period in its history today and therefore drastic action needs to be taken in a number of areas to make this august
organisation the country's pride once again.
The officers of IRAS along with the executives responded to the challenges and within a short period of 56 years, Indian
Railways was a financially vibrant organisation. In the year 2007-08, Indian Railways had a cash surplus of 250 billion rupees.
Recently, Finance department of Railways has embarked upon computerising its whole accounting and finance functions by
implementing a customised software called AFRES (Advance Finance Railway Earning & Expenditure System).

Recruitment and Training[edit]

The recruitment to the cadre is done through the Civil Services Examination which is conducted by Union Public Service
Commission of India every year. The Union Public Service Commission selects top and middle level bureaucrats through this
examination who work for the Government of India. This examination is conducted in three stages viz preliminary examination,
Mains examination and Interview. Only a few hundred of the candidates are selected each year out of about 400 thousand
aspirants who take the exam. The candidates through this examination are selected for various top level bureaucratic services
for Indian Government including Indian Administrative Service.
After selection through the Civil Services Examinations of the Union Public Service Commission, the probationers of Indian
Railway Accounts Service are required to undergo a two year training programme before induction into service on various
railway zones.
The two year training program includes classroom training at National Academy of Direct Taxes at Nagpur, Railway Staff
College Vadodara and specialised training institutes, as well as field training on zonal railways, divisions, construction
organisations and manufacturing units of the Indian Railways.
Recently, Railway Board has entered into an agreement with Indian Institute of Management Calcutta for a 12 week executive
general management programme as a part of regular training of IRAS probationers. The general management programme
covers topics in economics, human resource management, management information systems, public policy, behavioural
sciences, operations management, marketing, ethics, finance and accounting and strategic management. The training
programme also includes sessions with industry experts and visits to various industries. An 8 week MDP(Management
Development Programme)is also being carried out at MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE(MDI),GURGAON for IRAS
Probationers from year 2010 onwards. A group of 21 probationers of the Indian Railway Accounts Service (IRAS) 2010 batch,
recently called on President Pranab Mukherjee at the Rashtrapati Bhavan and were asked by the President to work for the
cause of the nation.
Role and Function[edit]

The Finance and Accounts functions are integrated with the executive at all levels in the Railways. At the apex level of policy
formulation, the Financial Commissioner, Railways, assisted by Additional Member (Finance), Additional Member (Budget),
Adviser (Finance) and Adviser (Accounting Reforms) incharge of Budgeting, Expenditure, Earnings, Accounting and
Accounting Development/Reforms, is there to aid and guide the Ministry of Railways (Railway Board). At the Zonal level, the
General Manager is aided by the Financial Adviser and Chief Accounts Officer along with his assistants. At the Divisional level,
which is only an administrative unit of a Zonal Railway, an identical arrangement exists to assist the Divisional Railway Manager
in finance and accounts matters. Besides the major production units and workshops, be they manufacturing units or repair and
maintenance units, have an inbuilt system of associate finance and accounts. The stores organisation, which is responsible for
procurement of stores and materials worth thousands of crores of rupees, is again assisted by Finance & Accounts. In short,
there is hardly any sphere of railway activity with which the Accounts and Finance organisation is not directly associated in the
decision-making process. In addition, officers of the Service also occupy management posts such as Divisional Railway
Managers, Additional General Managers etc.[1]
IRAS cadre of Indian Railways is responsible for the Finance and Accounting functions of the Railways. Core functions of this
cadre include maintenance of accounts of Indian Railways and Financial Advice to the executive. At the zonal level, IRAS
officers are designated as Financial Advisor and Chief Account Officers while at the Division level, they are Divisional Finance
Managers. Budget Management, Expenditure Control, Earnings Accountal, Financial scrutiny of various executive proposals are
some of the functions performed by IRAS officers. Every expenditure in Indian Railways has to pass through Financial scrutiny.
The IRAS cadre exercises substantial control over the affairs of theIndian Railways.
Officers of Indian Railway Accounts Service serve in various government ministries on deputation as Deputy Secretary/Director,
Joint Secretary, Additional Secretary. They are also sent to various Public Sector undertakings on deputation to hold finance
portfolios.
Organisation[edit]
At the Apex level, the Financial Commissioner for Railways represents the Ministry of Finance on the Railway Board and also
functions ex-officio as Secretary to Government of India in the Ministry of Railways in financial matters. In this capacity, he is
vested with full powers to sanction Railway expenditure subject to the general control of the Finance Minister. He has direct
contact with the Finance Minister whom he keeps informed of developments in the Ministry of Railways.[1]

Indian Railway organisational structure

The Indian Railways is organised broadly by functional groups of Indian Railway Service. This is traditionally how the cooperation is organised. The Indian Railways perhaps has been less adventurous in changing the structure; it has largely kept up
what it got as a legacy since the British era.

Railway Board[edit]
The apex management organisation is the Railway Board, also called the Ministry of Railways. The board is headed by a
Chairman who reports to the Minister of Railways. The board has five other members in addition to the chairman.
The General Managers of the zonal railways and the production units report to the board.
Functional branches[edit]
The various Group A cadres are as below:
Non Technical Services recruitment through Civil Services Examination conducted by UPSC
IRTS - Indian Railway Traffic Service
IRPS - Indian Railway Personnel Service
IRAS - Indian Railway Accounts Service
RPF - Railway Protection Force
Technical Services recruitment through Indian Engineering Examination conducted by UPSC
IRSE - Indian Railway Service of (Civil) Engineers
IRSEE - Indian Railway Service of Electrical Engineers
IRSME - Indian Railway Service of Mechanical Engineers
IRSS - Indian Railway Stores Service
IRSSE - Indian Railway Service of Signal Engineers
Medical Services recruitment through Combined medical Examination conducted by UPSC
IRMS - Indian Railway Medical Service
India's vast rail system, the third largest in the world, is managed by regional levels. Indian Railways has divided itself into
seventeen zonal railways. Each zone, headed by a General Manager, is semi-autonomous and this creates a matrix
organisation where the functional branches are under dual control viz.

Divisional organisation[edit]
The Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) heads the organisation at the division level. There are currently 67 divisions on the
system nationwide. The divisions are primarily involved with train running but may have loco sheds (repair shops for
locomotives), coaching depots (repair home bases for passenger trains) and wagon depots (repair and maintenance points for
freight stock).
Each division has all the functional (both line and staff) organisations. The heads of these functional groups report to the DRM
for administrative purposes but rely on guidance from the railway board and the zonal headquarters for policy guidelines.

Indian Railways (reporting mark IR / . ) is an Indian state-owned enterprise, owned and operated by the Government of
Indiathrough the Ministry of Railways. It is one of the world's largest railway networks comprising 115,000km(71,457.687
miles)of track over a route of 65,436 km (40,660 mi) and 7,172 stations.[4] In 201314, IR carried 8.425 billion passengers
annually or more than 23 million passengers daily (roughly half of which were suburban passengers) and 1050.18 million tons
of freight in the year.[5] In 20132014 Indian Railways had revenues of 1441.67 billion (US$23 billion) which consists of 940.0
billion (US$15 billion) from freight and 375.0 billion (US$5.9 billion) from passengers tickets.[6]
Railways were first introduced to India in the year 1853 from Bombay to Thane. In 1951 the systems were nationalised as one
unit, the Indian Railways, becoming one of the largest networks in the world. IR operates both long distance and suburban rail
systems on a multi-gauge network of broad, metre and narrow gauges. It also owns locomotive and coach production facilities
at several places in India and are assigned codes identifying their gauge, kind of power and type of operation. Its operations
cover twenty nine states and seven union territories and also provides limited international services
to Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Indian Railways is the world's seventh largest commercial or utility employer, by number of employees, with over 1.307 million
employees. As for rolling stock, IR holds over 239,281 Freight Wagons, 62,924 Passenger Coaches and 9,013 Locomotives (43
steam, 5,345 diesel and 4,568 electric locomotives).[7] The trains have a 5 digit numbering system and runs 12,617 passenger
trains and 7421 freight trains daily.[8] As of 31 March 2013, 20,884 km (12,977 mi) (31.9%) of the total 65,436 km (40,660 mi)
route length was electrified.[9] Since 1960, almost all electrified sections on IR use 25,000 Volt AC traction through overhead
catenary delivery.

History[edit]
Main article: History of rail transport in India
India's first train run betweenBombay and Thane
The B.B. & C.I. Railway Head Offices, 1905
Indian Railways headquarters, Delhi
Map of the completed and planned railway lines in India in 1871, thirteen years after the end of Company rule.
The history of rail transport in India began in the mid-nineteenth century. The core of the pressure for building Railways In India
came from London. In 1848, there was not a single kilometre of railway line in India. The country's first railway, built by
the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIPR), opened in 1853, between Bombay and Thane. [10] A British engineer, Robert Maitland
Brereton, was responsible for the expansion of the railways from 1857 onwards. The Allahabad-Jabalpur branch line of the East
Indian Railwayhad been opened in June 1867. Brereton was responsible for linking this with the GIPR, resulting in a combined
network of 6,400 km (4,000 mi). Hence it became possible to travel directly from Bombay to Calcutta. This route was officially
opened on 7 March 1870 and it was part of the inspiration for French writer Jules Verne's book Around the World in Eighty
Days. At the opening ceremony, the Viceroy Lord Mayo concluded that it was thought desirable that, if possible, at the earliest
possible moment, the whole country should be covered with a network of lines in a uniform system. [11]
By 1875, about 95 million were invested by British companies in India guaranteed railways. [12] By 1880 the network had a route
mileage of about 14,500 km (9,000 mi), mostly radiating inward from the three major port cities
of Bombay, Madras and Calcutta. By 1895, India had started building its own locomotives, and in 1896, sent engineers and
locomotives to help build the Uganda Railways.
In 1900, the GIPR became a government owned company. The network spread to the modern day states of Ahom Kingdom,
Rajputhana and Madras Presidency and soon various autonomous kingdoms began to have their own rail systems. In 1905, an
early Railway Board was constituted, but the powers were formally vested under Lord Curzon.[13] It served under the Department
of Commerce and Industry and had a government railway official serving as chairman, and a railway manager from England
and an agent of one of the company railways as the other two members. For the first time in its history, the Railways began to
make a profit.
In 1907 almost all the rail companies were taken over by the government. The following year, the first electric locomotive made
its appearance. With the arrival of World War I, the railways were used to meet the needs of the British outside India. With the
end of the war, the railways were in a state of disrepair and collapse.
In 1920, with the network having expanded to 61,220 km (38,040 mi), a need for central management was mooted by Sir
William Acworth. Based on the East India Railway Committee chaired by Acworth, the government took over the management
of the Railways and detached the finances of the Railways from other governmental revenues.
The period between 1920 and 1929, was a period of economic boom; there were 41,000 mi (66,000 km) of railway lines serving
the country; the railways represented a capital value of some 687 million sterling; and they carried over 620 million passengers
and approximately 90 million tons of goods each year.[14] Following the Great Depression, the railways suffered economically for
the next eight years. The Second World War severely crippled the railways. Starting 1939, about 40% of the rolling stock
including locomotives and coaches was taken to the Middle East, the railways workshops were converted to ammunitions
workshops and many railway tracks were dismantled to help the Allies in the war. By 1946, all rail systems had been taken over
by the government.
On 23 April 2014, Indian Railways introduced a mobile app system to track train schedules. [15]
Organisational structure[edit]
Indian Railway zonal map.
Main article: Indian Railway organisational structure
Railway zones[edit]
Indian Railways is divided into several zones, which are further sub-divided into divisions. The number of zones in Indian
Railways increased from six to eight in 1951, nine in 1952 and sixteen in 2003. [16][17] Each zonal railway is made up of a certain
number of divisions, each having a divisional headquarters. There are a total of sixty-eight divisions. [18][19]
Each of the seventeen zones is headed by a general manager who reports directly to the Railway Board. The zones are further
divided into divisions under the control of divisional railway managers (DRM). The divisional officers of engineering, mechanical,
electrical, signal and telecommunication, accounts, personnel, operating, commercial, security and safety branches report to the
respective Divisional Manager and are in charge of operation and maintenance of assets. Further down the hierarchy tree are
the station masters who control individual stations and the train movement through the track territory under their stations'
administration.

Recruitment and training[edit]

Main article: Centralised Training Institutes of the Indian Railways
Staff are classified into gazetted (Group 'A' and 'B') and non-gazetted (Group 'C' and 'D') employees. [22] The recruitment of
Group 'A' gazetted employees is carried out by the Union Public Service Commission through exams conducted by it.[23] The
recruitment to Group 'C' and 'D' employees on the Indian Railways is done through 20 Railway Recruitment Boards and Railway
Recruitment Cells which are controlled by the Railway Recruitment Control Board (RRCB).[24] The training of all cadres is
entrusted and shared between six centralised training institutes.

Indian Railways manufactures much of its rolling stock and heavy engineering components at its six manufacturing plants,
called Production Units, which are managed directly by the Ministry. Popular rolling stock builders such as CLW and DLW for
electric and diesel locomotives; ICF and RCF for passenger coaches are Production Units of Indian Railways. Over the years,
Indian Railways has not only achieved self-sufficiency in production of rolling stock in the country but also exported rolling stock
to other countries. Each of these production units is headed by a general manager, who also reports directly to the Railway
Board. The production units are:-

Other subsidiaries[edit]
There also exist independent organisations under the control of the Railway Board for electrification, modernisation, research
and designand training of officers, each of which is headed by an officer of the rank of general manager. A number of Public
Sector Undertakings, which perform railway-related functions ranging from consultancy to ticketing, are also under the
administrative control of the Ministry of railways.
There are fourteen public undertakings under the administrative control of the Ministry of Railways, [25] viz.
Bharat Wagon and Engineering Co. Ltd. (BWEL)

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC), that has constructed and operates Delhi Metro network, is an independent
organisation not connected to the Indian Railways. Similar metro rail corporations in other cities (except Kolkata
Metro in Kolkata) are not connected to the Indian Railways.
Rolling stock[edit]
Locomotives[edit]
Main article: Locomotives in India
Two historical steam engines at water refilling station at Agra station
A Beyer Garratt 6594 Engine seen at the National Rail Museum
Locomotives in India consist of electric and diesel locomotives. Biodiesel locomotives are also being used on experimental
basis.[27] Steam locomotives are no longer used, except in heritage trains. In India, locomotives are classified according to
their track gauge, motive power, the work they are suited for and their power or model number. The class name includes this
information about the locomotive. It comprises 4 or 5 letters. The first letter denotes the track gauge. The second letter denotes
their motive power (Diesel or Alternating - on Electric) and the third letter denotes the kind of traffic for which they are suited
(goods, passenger, Multi or shunting). The fourth letter used to denote locomotives' chronological model number. However, from
2002 a new classification scheme has been adopted. Under this system, for newer diesel locomotives, the fourth letter will
denote their horsepower range. Electric locomotives don't come under this scheme and even all diesel locos are not covered.
For them this letter denotes their model number as usual.
A locomotive may sometimes have a fifth letter in its name which generally denotes a technical variant or subclass or subtype.
This fifth letter indicates some smaller variation in the basic model or series, perhaps different motors, or a different
manufacturer. With the new scheme for classifying diesel locomotives (as mentioned above) the fifth item is a letter that further
refines the horsepower indication in 100 hp increments: 'A' for 100 hp, 'B' for 200 hp, 'C' for 300 hp, etc. So in this scheme, a
WDM-3A refers to a 3100 hp loco, while a WDM-3D would be a 3400 hp loco and WDM-3F would be 3600 hp loco.
Note: This classification system does not apply to steam locomotives in India as they have become non-functional now. They
retained their original class names such as M class or WP class.
Diesel Locomotives are now fitted with Auxiliary Power Units which saves nearly 88% of Fuel during the idle time when train is
not running.[28]
Goods wagons or freight cars[edit]

The number of freight car or goods wagons was 205,596 on 31 March 1951 and reached the maximum number 405,183 on 31
March 1980 after which it started declining and was 239,321 on 31 March 2012. The number is far less than the requirement
and the Indian Railways keeps losing freight traffic to road. Indian Railways carried 93 million tonnes of goods in 195051 and it
increased to 1010 million tonnes in 201213.[29]
However, its share in goods traffic is much lower than road traffic. In 1951, its share was 65% and the share of road was 35%.
Now the shares have been reversed and the share of railways has declined to 30% and the share of road has increased to
70%.
Passenger coaches[edit]
Indian railways has several types of passenger coaches.
Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) coaches are used for suburban traffic in large cities mainly Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata,
Pune, Hyderabad and Bangalore. These coaches numbered 7,793 on 31 March 2012. They have second class and first class
seating accommodation.
Passenger coaches numbered 46,722 on 31 March 2012. Other coaches (luggage coach, parcel van, guard's coach, mail
coach, etc.) numbered 6,560 on 31 March 2012.
Freight[edit]
Indian Railways earns about 70% of its revenues from freight traffic (Rs. 686.2 billion from freight and Rs. 304.6 billion from
passengers in 201112). Most of its profits come from transporting freight, and this makes up for losses on passenger traffic. It
deliberately keeps its passenger fares low and cross-subsidises the loss-making passenger traffic with the profit-making freight
traffic.
Since the 1990s, Indian Railways has stopped single-wagon consignments and provides only full rake freight trains
Wagon types[edit]

Technical details[edit]
Track and gauge[edit]
Indian railways uses four gauges, the 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge which is wider than the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 12 in) standard
gauge; the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 38 in) metre gauge; and two narrow gauges, 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) and 610 mm (2 ft). Track sections
are rated for speeds ranging from 75 to 160 km/h (47 to 99 mph).
The total length of track used by Indian Railways is about 115,000 km (71,000 mi) while the total route length of the network is
65,000 km (40,000 mi).[31] About 24,891 km (15,467 mi) or 38% of the route-kilometre was electrified as on 31 March 2014.[32]
Narrow Gauge Train at Rajim, Chhattisgarh
Indian gauge is the predominantgauge used by Indian Railways.
Broad gauge is the predominant gauge used by Indian Railways. Indian broad gauge1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in)is the most widely
used gauge in India with 105,000 km (65,000 mi) of track length (91% of entire track length of all the gauges) and 56,000 km
(35,000 mi) of route-kilometre (86% of entire route-kilometre of all the gauges).
In some regions with less traffic, the metre gauge (1,000 mm (3 ft 3 38 in)) is common, although the Unigauge project is in
progress toconvert all tracks to broad gauge. The metre gauge has about 8,000 km (5,000 mi) of track length (7% of entire track
length of all the gauges) and 7,000 km (4,300 mi) of route-kilometre (10% of entire route-kilometre of all the gauges).
The Narrow gauges are present on a few routes, lying in hilly terrains and in some erstwhile private railways (on cost
considerations), which are usually difficult to convert to broad gauge. Narrow gauges have 2,000 route-kilometre. The KalkaShimla Railway, the Kangra Valley Railway and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway are three notable hill lines that use narrow
gauge, but the Nilgiri Mountain Railway is a metre gauge track.[33] These four rail lines will not be converted under the Unigauge
project.
Map of Indian Railways network with population density
The share of broad gauge in the total route-kilometre has been steadily rising, increasing from 47% (25,258 route-km) in 1951
to 86% in 2012 whereas the share of metre gauge has declined from 45% (24,185 route-km) to 10% in the same period and the
share of narrow gauges has decreased from 8% to 3%. About 24,891 route-km of Indian railways is electrified.
Sleepers (ties) are made up of prestressed concrete, or steel or cast iron posts, though teak sleepers are still in use on a few
older lines. The prestressed concrete sleeper is in wide use today. Metal sleepers were extensively used before the advent of
concrete sleepers. Indian Railways divides the country into four zones on the basis of the range of track temperature. The
greatest temperature variations occur in Rajasthan.
Research and development[edit]

Indian Railways have a full-fledged organisation known as Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), located at
Lucknow for all research, designs and standardisation tasks.
In August 2013, Indian Railways entered into a partnership with Indian Institute of Technology (Madras) to develop technology
to tap solar energy for lighting and air-conditioning in the coaches. This would significantly reduce the fossil fuel dependency for
Indian Railways.[34]
Recently it ingeniously developed and tested the Improved Automated Fire Alarm System in Rajdhani Express Trains. This
System would now be applied to AC coaches of all regular trains.[35]

Types of passenger services[edit]

Trains are classified by their average speed.[39] A faster train has fewer stops ("halts") than a slower one and usually caters to
long-distance travel.

These are the non-stop (except for operational stops) point to point rail services introduced for the first time
in 2009. They connect the metros and major state capitals of India and are faster than Rajdhani Express. They
provide first AC, two-tier AC and three-tier AC accommodation. Some of them provide Sleeper Class
accommodation.
Rajdhani
Express
These are air-conditioned trains linking major cities to New Delhi. They have high priority and are one of
the fastest trains in India, travelling at an average speed of 130 km/h (82 mph). They have only a few stops. In the
Railway budget of 2014, it was proposed that the speed of Rajdhani express, and Shatabdi Expresses would be
increased up to 200 km/h.
AC Express
Shatabdi

Express/Mail
These are trains travel at a speed greater than 100-120 km/h (60-75 mph). Tickets for these trains have an
additional superfast surcharge.
These are the most common kind of trains in India. They have more stops than their super-fast counterparts,
but they stop only at relatively important intermediate stations.
These are slow trains that stop at most of the station or every station along the route and are the cheapest
trains. The trains generally have unreserved seating accommodation but some night trains have sleeper and 3-tier
AC compartments. These also travel about 40-80 kmph
These trains operate in the urban areas

of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Pune and between Kanpur and Lucknow, usually
stop at all stations and have unreserved seating accommodation.
These trains are designed for city transport. Indian Railway constructed Kolkata Metro for the city
of Kolkata.
Accommodation classes[edit]

Main article: Indian Railways coaching stock

Indian Railways has several classes of travel with or without airconditioning. A train may have just one or many classes of
travel. Slow passenger trains have only unreserved seating class whereas Rajdhani, Duronto, Shatabdi, garib rath and yuva
trains have only airconditioned classes. The fares for all classes are different with unreserved seating class being the cheapest.
The fare of Rajdhani, Duronto and Shatabdi trains includes food served in the train but the fare for other trains does not include
food that has to be bought separately. In long-distance trains a pantry car is usually included and food is served at the berth or
seat itself. Luxury trains such as Palace on Wheels have separate dining cars but these trains cost as much as or more than a
five-star hotel room.
A standard passenger rake generally has four unreserved (also called "general") compartments, two at the front and two at the
end, of which one may be exclusively for ladies. The exact number of other coaches varies according to the demand and the
route. A luggage compartment can also exist at the front or the back. In some mail trains a separate mail coach is attached.
Lavatories are communal and feature both the Indian style as well as the Western style.
The following table lists the classes in operation. A train may not have all these classes.
Class[40]
Description[40][41]

is present only on popular routes and can carry 18 passengers (full coach) or 10 passengers (half coach). The sleeper berths
are extremely wide and spacious. The coaches are carpeted, have sleeping accommodation and have privacy features like
personal coupes. This class is available on broad gauge and metre gauge trains.

Fairy Queen is the oldest operating locomotive in the world today, though it is operated only for specials between Delhi
and Alwar.John Bull, a locomotive older than Fairy Queen, operated in 1981 commemorating its 150th
anniversary. Gorakhpur railway station also has the distinction of being the world's longest railway platform at 4,483 ft
(1,366 m). The Ghum station along the Darjeeling Toy Train route is the second highest railway station in the world to be
reached by a steam locomotive.[52] The MumbaiPune Deccan Queen has the oldest running dining car in IR.
Vivek Express, between Dibrugarh and Kanyakumari, has the longest run in terms of distance and time on Indian
Railways network. It covers 4,286 km (2,663 mi) in about 82 hours and 30 minutes.
Bhopal Shatabdi Express is the fastest train in India today having a maximum speed of 160 km/h (99 mph) on

Double-decker AC trains have been introduced in India. The first double decker train was Pune-Mumbai Sinhagad
express plying between Pune and Mumbai[53] while the first double-decker AC train in the Indian Railways was introduced in
November 2010, running between the Dhanbad and Howrah stations having 10 coaches and 2 power cars.[54] On 16 April
2013, Indian Railways celebrated its 160 years of nationwide connectivity with a transportation of 23 million passengers in a
day.[55]
Problems and issues[edit]

Indian Railways is cash strapped and reported a loss of 30,000 crores in the passenger segment for the year ending March
2014. Operating Ratio, a key metric used by Indian railways to gauge financial health, deteriorated to 93.5% in the same year.
Railways carry a social obligation of over 20,000 crores ($3.5bn). The loss per passengerKM increased to 23 paise by the end
of March 2014. Indian Railways is left with a surplus cash of just INR 690crores ($115mn) by the end of March 2014. [56]
It is estimated that over 5 lakh crores (about $85 bn at 2014 exchange rates) is required to complete the ongoing projects alone.
Railways is consistently losing market share to other modes of transport both in Freight and Passenger Segment. [57]
New railway line projects are often announced during the Railway Budget annually without securing additional funding for them.
In the last 10 years, 99 New Line projects worth 60,000 crore were sanctioned out of which only one project is complete till date.
In fact, there are 4 projects that are as old as 30 years, but are still not complete for one reason or another.[8]
Sanjay Dina Patil a member of the Lok Sabha recently accused that additional tracks, height of platforms are still a problem and
rise in tickets, goods, monthly passes has created an alarming situation where common man is troubled. [58]

The Engineering Entrance Examination (EEE), was an examination organized by the Central Board of Secondary Education
(CBSE) in India. Introduced in the year 2002, this national level competitive test is for admission to various under-graduate
engineering and architecture courses in institutes accepting the AIEEE score, mainly 30 National Institutes of Technology (NITs)
and 5 Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs). The examination was generally held on the last Sunday of April and
results are announced in the last week of May or the first week of June. Candidates are ranked on an all-India basis and state
basis. Thus, they have an All India Rank (AIR) and a State Rank (SR). Since April 2013, the examination was replaced by Joint
Entrance Examination.
Structure[edit]
The examination consists of only two papers: Paper 1 for B.E./B.Tech courses and Paper 2 for B.Arch courses. A candidate can
opt for any or both the papers. Paper 1 has three sections: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry with equal weight for each
subject. Each section consists of multiple choice objective-type questions each of which has four choices. Out of the four
choices for a given question, only one choice is correct. Paper 1 has a negative-marking scheme wherein an incorrect answer is
negatively marked with one fourth of the maximum marks allotted to the question. Paper 2 has three sections: Mathematics,
Drawing, and Aptitude. Mathematics, and Drawing sections have multiple choice objective-type questions and the Aptitude
section has drawing-based questions. The duration of each paper is three hours. Candidates are not allowed to carry any
textual material, calculators, logarithmic tables or electronic devices into the examination hall. The number of questions and
their maximum marks have been variable through the years. The questions are based on a syllabus that is common to syllabi of
all the state boards in India and the Central Board of Secondary Education. Candidates can opt for question papers either in
English or in Hindi language. For admission to B.Tech or B.E. courses in the participating institutes the candidate is required to
take the Paper 1; for admission to B.Arch or B. Planning courses the candidate is required to take Paper 2. Students can opt to
take any one or both the papers.[2] The examination was conducted in offline pen and paper mode till 2010. In 2011, as per the
orders of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, CBSE conducted Paper 1 in Computer-Based-Test mode for the first
one lakh candidates who opted for the same, while the remaining students took the examination in the conventional pen and
paper mode.[3] The number of attempts which a candidate can avail at the examination is limited to three in consecutive years.
In 2013 the Ministry of Human Resource Development merged IIT-JEE and AIEEE with a common entrance test for all
government engineering colleges which will be called JEE which consists of two modes: JEE(Main) and JEE(Advanced).
Candidates selected from JEE(Main) compete in JEE(Advanced) for admission in IITs.

Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance

Examination
The Indian Institutes of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) was an annual
engineering college entrance examination in India. It was used as the sole admission test by the
fifteen Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian School of Mines (also known as ISM Dhanbad)
and IIT BHU. The examination was organised each year by one of the various IITs, using a round
robin rotation pattern. It had a very low admission rate (about 10,000 in 500,000 in 2011).
In 2013 it was replaced by the two-phase Joint Entrance Examination.[1]

History[edit]
The IIT-JEE was conducted for the first time in 1960,[2][3] when it had four subjects including
an English language paper. The examination since evolved considerably from its initial pattern. The
IIT-JEE was initially called the Common Entrance Exam (CEE); its creation coincided with that of
the 1961 IIT Act.[4]
In 1997, the IIT-JEE 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 top candidates
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 the
examination. These were implemented from 2006 onwards. The revised test consisted of a single
objective test, replacing the earlier two-test system. In order to be eligible for the main examination,
candidates in the general category had to secure a minimum of 60% aggregated marks in the
qualifying examination of the XIIth standard organized by various educational boards of India, while
candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Physically Disabled (PD)
categories must secure a minimum of 55%.
In 2008, the Director and the Dean of IIT Madras called for revisions to the examination, arguing
that the coaching institutes were "enabling many among the less-than-best students to crack the
test and keeping girls from qualifying". They expressed concern that the present system did not
allow for applicants' 12 years of schooling to have a bearing on admissions into IITs. [5]
In 2008, the Indian Institutes of Technology, for the first time, went overseas with their entrance
examination as they set up a centre for the competitive test in Dubai.[6] The number of candidates
appearing in Dubai hovered around 200 to 220. [7]
Seats[edit]
The number of students taking the examination increased substantially each year with over
485,000 sitting IIT-JEE 2011. This represented an increase of 30,000 students (6.5%) from 2010. [8]
The availability of seats in recent years is as shown below:

From 2008, six new IITs were opened with 120 seats each, increasing the total number of seats to
almost 7000. For 2009, admissions were made to two more IITs, namely IIT Indore and IIT Mandi
(Himachal Pradesh) taking the seat count to almost 8300. In 2011, with additional courses in
several old and new IITs, the total seat count crossed 9600.
Criticism[edit]
In 2012, Super 30 founder and mathematician Anand Kumar criticised the New Admission Norms,
saying that the decision of the IIT Council to give chance to students having top 20% from various
boards in the class 12 examinations, was a decision in haste. "This is one decision that will go
against the poor, who don't have the opportunity to study in elite schools," he added. [11]
IIT-JEE was conducted only in English and Hindi, which was criticised as making it harder for
students where regional languages,
like Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Urdu, Oriya,Bengali, Marathi, Assamese or Gujarati, are more
prominent. In September 2011, the Gujarat High Court acted on a Public Interest Litigation by
the Gujarati Sahitya Parishad, demanding the exams be conducted in Gujarati.[12] A second petition
was made in October by Navsari's Sayaji Vaibhav Sarvajanik Pustakalaya Trust. [13] Another petition
was made at the Madras High Court for conducting the exam in Tamil. In the petition it was claimed
that not conducting the exam in the regional languages is in violation of article 14 of
the Constitution of India. PMK, political party in Tamil Nadu holds a demonstration at Chennai for
conducting IIT-JEE and other national entrance exams in regional languages also, particularly Tamil
in Tamil Nadu.[14] Pattali Makkal Katchi party has filed Public Interest Litigation in Madras High Court
for conducting IIT JEE entrance exam in Tamil also. They submitted that every year 7.63 lakh
students were completing 12th standard in Tamil Nadu, 75% of them from Tamil Medium. They had
to take the entrance exam in English or Hindi, neither of which was their medium of instruction nor
their mother tongue, and so were denied their fundamental right to take up the entrance exam in
their medium of instruction, based on their mother tongue. [15][16]Shiv Sena urged MHRD to conduct
IITJEE and other national undergraduate entrance exams in regional languages, particularly
Marathi language in Maharastra.[17]

The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (abbreviated IITB or IIT Bombay) is a public engineering institution located
in Powai,Mumbai, India. In global rankings, IIT Bombay has emerged as Indias top university.[1] It is the second-oldest institute
of the Indian Institutes of Technology system.[2]
IIT Bombay was founded in 1958.[3] In 1961, the Parliament decreed IITs as Institutes of National Importance.[4] A high-power
committee of Government of India recommended in 1946 establishment of four higher institutes of technology to set the
direction for the development of technical education in the country. Planning for the Institute at Mumbai began in 1957 and the
first batch of 100 students was admitted in 1958.[4] Since its establishment in Powai, the institute has physically expanded to
include more than 584 major buildings with a combined area of more than 2.396 gross square feet (550 acres or 2.22 km).[5]
IIT Bombay has a comprehensive graduate program offering doctoral degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics.[4] Currently IIT Bombay has a total of 14 academic departments, six centers, one school, and three
interdisciplinary programmes. Over the last 53 years, around 39,000 engineers and scientists have graduated from the institute.
[4]
Educational programmes here extend beyond the physical sciences and engineering into humanities and social sciences such
as Economics,English, Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology and into management studies.[6] Over the years, the institute has
also created a niche for its innovative short-term courses through continuing education and distance education programmes.[7]

History[edit]
IIT Bombay Main Building
IIT Bombay was the second IIT to be established in 1958 with assistance from UNESCO and with funds contributed by
the Soviet Union. UNESCO agreed to provide equipment and technical experts mainly from the Soviet Union, while the
Government of India accepted the responsibility for all other expenses including the cost of the building project and recurring
expenses. The site chosen for the institute wasPowai, eighteen miles (29 km) from the city of Mumbai (then Bombay), with an
area of 550 acres (2.2 km2) which was given by the thenBombay State Government. While construction was being completed,
the first academic session of the Institute opened on 25 July 1958, in its temporary home at the Synthetic and Art Silk Mills
Research Association (SASMIRA) building in Worli, Mumbai with 100 students. These students were selected from over 3,400
applicants for admission to the first year undergraduate engineering programmes ofAerospace, Chemical, Civil, Computer,
Electrical, Engineering Physics, Energy, Mechanical, Metallurgical Engineering and MSc Chemistry. One of the main objectives
of establishing the Institute was to develop facilities for studies in a variety of specialised engineering and technological
sciences. The need for establishing adequate facilities for postgraduate studies and research was kept uppermost in mind in the
founding years.
While the Institute was functioning provisionally at Worli, an effort was made to expedite the progress of the building project at
its permanent location and Jawaharlal Nehru laid the foundation stone of the Institute at Powai on 10 March 1959.
Campus[edit]
The Tree of Knowledge a wrought iron sculpture in the lawns facing the Administrative Building at IIT Bombay
The IIT Bombay campus is located at Powai, a suburb in north eastern Mumbai, between the Vihar and Powai lakes. The
campus is divided into clusters of buildings. The academic area chiefly comprises the main building, various departmental
annexes and auditoria. All department annexes are connected by a corridor named Infinite Corridor. Beyond the Convocation
Hall lie most of the hostels. There are a total of 15 hostels, of which two hostels (Hostels 10 and 11) and a part of the newly
constructed hostel (Hostel 15) are for female students.
Due to its proximity to the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, the campus is yellow and mostly untouched by the pollution of the rest
of the city. The proximity of the campus to the national park has also led to occasional sightings of panthers, Leopards
and Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) crocodiles along the banks of Lake Powai. Sometimes they stray into the campus in chase of
hunt.[8]
The institute has two swimming pools; football, hockey and cricket grounds;
and tennis, basketball, squash and volleyball courts. It also has a Students' Activity Center (SAC) for various cultural and other
extracurricular activities. In addition to these facilities, the campus also houses two high schools, one of which is a Kendriya
Vidyalaya and the other is called IIT Campus School.

Cultural and non-academic activities[edit]

The annual cultural festival Mood Indigo,[9] usually held in the month of December is the best event hosted by any student body
and the largest of its kind in Asia. The most attractive feature of this 4-day event are the influential personalities who have
graced the festival like R D Burman, Aamir Khan, Sir Mark Tully, Sachin Tendulkar, Porcupine Tree,[10] Simple Plan,[11] Mike
Portnoy[12] and many more. The organization is known for holding the best cultural competitions, games and musical concerts to
draw out the best talent in the country.
Cultural activities like dramatics, Speaking, Literary Arts, Music and Fine Arts also mark an important feature in the life of a
student of IIT Bombay. Speaking and Literary Arts have always been very popular in the student community with students
actively participating in quizzing, writing and debating activities. IIT Bombay has won the prestigious National Law School
Parliamentary Debating Tournament.
The annual Science & Technology festival of IIT Bombay, Techfest,[13] which was started in 1998,[14] is held in the month of
January every year and is the largest of its kind in Asia. It comprises various events like competitions, exhibits and talks from
guest speakers from around the world. Techfest 2009 was also the first event of its kind in India to conduct its events in other
countries.
Apart from cultural and technological activities, the campus is also involved in business activities with bodies like The
Entrepreneurship Cell, which support the growth of startupsacross the globe.
These college festivals are organised, financially managed and conducted entirely by the students of this institute. All these
festivals and organisations are sponsored by private enterprise. [15][16]
Apart from these festivals, various other engineering streams based festivals are also being organised to motivate students
towards Science and Technology. These include Radiance (Mechanical Engineering), Zephyr (Aerospace
Engineering), AZeotropy[17] (Chemical Engineering), Padarth(Metallurgy and Material Science Engineering), Aagomani
(Electrical Engineering) and recently, Aakaar (Civil Engineering).
The institute also has an LGBT alliance club called "Saathi".[18][19]

funded by international agencies. Typically in one year, there are about 400 on-going sponsored projects. The sponsored
research has ushered in intense research activity leading to the formation of active research groups and has helped in the
creation of modern research facilities in key areas.[31]
The office of the Dean (R&D) provides the necessary liaison with industry and sponsoring agencies. The office helps industry to
identify faculty expertise and institutional facilities, and assists faculty in identifying industry problems. [32]

There are also a number of central facilities such as the Central Library, Central Workshop, and Printing Press. Many new
research facilities have been acquired or developed in the last few years. One of the most important of them is the Computer
Centre which started functioning in 1986 with facilities which have been continuously updated. The Computer Aided Design
Centre with its own mini computers and work stations, supplemented by additional computing facilities, caters to CAD activity in
Chemical Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering. Research groups like VLSI Design, CAD/CAM also have computing
facilities which are accessible to other departments for development activities. Recently, work on developing medical implants
has been initiated. The OrthoCAD Network Research Cell was established in 2007 to jump-start indigenous research and
development activities in orthopaedic reconstruction systems. Important experimental facilities set up by various departments
include laboratories for robotics, biotechnology, microelectronics, microprocessor applications, telematics, remote sensing, low
temperature physics and aerodynamics.

History[edit]
IIT (BHU), Varanasi has formerly been known as the Banaras Engineering College (BENCO), the College of Mining and
Metallurgy (MINMET), the College of Technology (TECHNO) and the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (ITBHU). Its establishment is intimately linked with that of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU). The first convocation ceremony at
BHU was held on 19 January 1919. The Chancellor of the University, Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar of Mysore who had come
to preside over and address the convocation, performed the opening ceremony of the Banaras Engineering College (BENCO)
Workshop buildings.[3] An Artisan Course was started on 11 February 1919. BHU has the credit of first starting degree classes in
mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, metallurgy and Pharmaceutics, thanks to the foresight of its great founder,
Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya.
The Department of Geology was started under BENCO in 1920. Courses in Mining and Metallurgy were introduced by the
Geology Department. The Department of Industrial Chemistry was started in July 1921. In 1923, Mining and Metallurgy was
established as a separate department and in 1944 it was raised to the status of a college forming the College of Mining and
Metallurgy (MINMET).[3]
BHU was the first Indian university to introduce the study of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.[3] This initiative was taken in 1932 when
a new group of subjects for the B.Sc. Examination consisting of (a) Chemistry, (b) Botany with Pharmacognosy and (c)
Pharmaceutical Studies was started in 1934 and in 1935 a new three year programme leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Pharmacy was introduced. The science departments of the University were under the Central Hindu College. In September
1935, a new College of Science was constituted comprising the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Geology,
Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry and Ceramics. In 1937, the Department of Glass Technology also came into
existence under this college. The year 1939 witnessed the establishment of a separate College of Technology (TECHNO)
comprising the departments of Industrial Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Ceramics and Glass Technology.[3]
In 1968, BENCO, TECHNO and MINMET were merged into one and the Institute of Technology (IT-BHU) was established
integrating the departments of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil and Municipal Engineering, Mining
Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Technology, Silicate Technology and Pharmaceutics. The
Department of Silicate Technology subsequently became the Department of Ceramic Engineering. A separate Department of
Electronics Engineering was also established.[3] The departments of Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics and Applied
Chemistry were established in 1985.
The earlier system of regional admission based on merit lists was replaced in 1972 by admission through Indian Institute of
Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) for undergraduate courses and Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE)
for postgraduate courses. In the tenth meeting of IIT Council in 1972, it was also proposed to convert the then IT-BHU into an
IIT and a committee was appointed by IIT Council for the same but due to political reasons, the desired conversion could not be
achieved then.[4]
In 2003, Committees constituted by MHRD (Professors Joshi and Anand Krishnan Committees) [5] had recommended for the
conversion of the Institute into an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT).[6] On 17 July 2008, the government of India issued a press
release granting "In principle approval for taking over the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University a constituent unit
of the Banaras Hindu University, a Central University, its conversion into an Indian Institute of Technology and integrating it with
the IIT system in the country."[7] The BHU Executive Council approved the proposal of the HRD ministry to convert IT-BHU to IIT
(BHU), Varanasi, retaining academic and administrative ties to BHU.
On 4 August 2010 a bill seeking to amend the Institutes of Technology Act 1961 to declare IT-BHU an IIT was introduced in the
Lok Sabha by Minister of State for HRD, D. Purandeswari. [8][9][10] The Lok Sabha passed The Institutes of Technology
(Amendment) Act, 2011 on 24 March 2011[11] and the Rajya Sabha on 30 April 2012, thereby formalizing the IIT status of the
Institute.[12] The Bill was signed by the President of India on 20 June 2012 and notified in the gazette on 21 June. [13] The Central
Government released a notification on 29 June that as per the Act, the transformation process was complete and IT-BHU was
officially rechristened as IIT (BHU) Varanasi.[citation needed]
Academics[edit]
Undergraduate programme[edit]
IIT (BHU) Varanasi offers four year instructional programmes for the degree of Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) and Bachelor of
Pharmacy (B.Pharm). Five year programmes are categorized into the Integrated Dual Degree (IDD) programme and Integrated
Masters Degree (IMD) programme. The IDD programme offers combined B.Tech and M.Tech or alternatively B.Pharm and
M.Pharm degrees. Admission to all programmes including B.Pharm is expressly through the Joint Entrance
Examination conducted by the Indian Institutes of Technology.[14] Earlier half of the intake for Pharmaceutical sciences was
through JEE and the other half through BHU-PMT .But after the college was converted into an IIT, intake for B.Pharm and the
IDD in Pharmaceutical sciences is exclusively through Joint Entrance Exam.

Kashi Utkarsh[edit]
Kashi Utkarsh is a student-run, non-profit organization working for the alleviation of misery, penury and disease chiefly in the
village of Lehartara. In fact Kashi Utkarsh is NOT an organization. It is a platform for all human strivings, for all those who have
a dream, a vision of a better tomorrow. All it stands for is the COURAGE to DREAM and the STRENGTH to turn them into
REALITY. This modest and humble forum has never stood for providing charity to any poor or needy. What it envisaged was
giving strength, power and opportunity to people, all who could ever feel needy. A.D. 1997, two students of IIT-BHU Anupam
Bansal and Vinod Chaudhary of Ceramic Engineering laid the foundation stone of this organization after realizing that the
people amongst the deprived classes or those from the slum clusters lacked in strength as well as motivation. They do not have
the vision for a better life. So perpetually prevalent is the lack of confidence and self-respect as well as a conscience that the
realm of achievements has grown too narrow, swallowed by an ever pervading monster of impossibility. MILE STONES

Examination
The Indian Institutes of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) was an annual
engineering college entrance examination in India. It was used as the sole admission test by the
fifteen Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian School of Mines (also known as ISM Dhanbad)
and IIT BHU. The examination was organised each year by one of the various IITs, using a round
robin rotation pattern. It had a very low admission rate (about 10,000 in 500,000 in 2011).
In 2013 it was replaced by the two-phase Joint Entrance Examination.[1]

History[edit]
The IIT-JEE was conducted for the first time in 1960,[2][3] when it had four subjects including
an English language paper. The examination since evolved considerably from its initial pattern. The
IIT-JEE was initially called the Common Entrance Exam (CEE); its creation coincided with that of
the 1961 IIT Act.[4]
In 1997, the IIT-JEE 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 top candidates
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 the
examination. These were implemented from 2006 onwards. The revised test consisted of a single
objective test, replacing the earlier two-test system. In order to be eligible for the main examination,
candidates in the general category had to secure a minimum of 60% aggregated marks in the
qualifying examination of the XIIth standard organized by various educational boards of India, while
candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Physically Disabled (PD)
categories must secure a minimum of 55%.
In 2008, the Director and the Dean of IIT Madras called for revisions to the examination, arguing
that the coaching institutes were "enabling many among the less-than-best students to crack the
test and keeping girls from qualifying". They expressed concern that the present system did not
allow for applicants' 12 years of schooling to have a bearing on admissions into IITs. [5]
In 2008, the Indian Institutes of Technology, for the first time, went overseas with their entrance
examination as they set up a centre for the competitive test in Dubai.[6] The number of candidates
appearing in Dubai hovered around 200 to 220. [7]
Seats[edit]
The number of students taking the examination increased substantially each year with over
485,000 sitting IIT-JEE 2011. This represented an increase of 30,000 students (6.5%) from 2010. [8]

Attendance
From 2008, six new IITs were opened with 120 seats each, increasing the total number of seats to
almost 7000. For 2009, admissions were made to two more IITs, namely IIT Indore and IIT Mandi
(Himachal Pradesh) taking the seat count to almost 8300. In 2011, with additional courses in
several old and new IITs, the total seat count crossed 9600.
Criticism[edit]
In 2012, Super 30 founder and mathematician Anand Kumar criticised the New Admission Norms,
saying that the decision of the IIT Council to give chance to students having top 20% from various
boards in the class 12 examinations, was a decision in haste. "This is one decision that will go
against the poor, who don't have the opportunity to study in elite schools," he added. [11]
IIT-JEE was conducted only in English and Hindi, which was criticised as making it harder for
students where regional languages,
like Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Urdu, Oriya,Bengali, Marathi, Assamese or Gujarati, are more
prominent. In September 2011, the Gujarat High Court acted on a Public Interest Litigation by
the Gujarati Sahitya Parishad, demanding the exams be conducted in Gujarati.[12] A second petition
was made in October by Navsari's Sayaji Vaibhav Sarvajanik Pustakalaya Trust. [13] Another petition
was made at the Madras High Court for conducting the exam in Tamil. In the petition it was claimed
that not conducting the exam in the regional languages is in violation of article 14 of
the Constitution of India. PMK, political party in Tamil Nadu holds a demonstration at Chennai for
conducting IIT-JEE and other national entrance exams in regional languages also, particularly Tamil
in Tamil Nadu.[14] Pattali Makkal Katchi party has filed Public Interest Litigation in Madras High Court
for conducting IIT JEE entrance exam in Tamil also. They submitted that every year 7.63 lakh
students were completing 12th standard in Tamil Nadu, 75% of them from Tamil Medium. They had
to take the entrance exam in English or Hindi, neither of which was their medium of instruction nor
their mother tongue, and so were denied their fundamental right to take up the entrance exam in
their medium of instruction, based on their mother tongue. [15][16]Shiv Sena urged MHRD to conduct
IITJEE and other national undergraduate entrance exams in regional languages, particularly
Marathi language in Maharastra.[17]

Candidates successful in the written exam are then called for an interview by a Services Selection Board which evaluates a
candidate's suitability for a career in the Indian Armed Forces. The SSB interview lasts for approximately a week, during which a
candidate undergoes various physical and psychological tests to ascertain whether or not he is officer material. Apart from SSB
interview, Air Force academy candidates are tested for Pilot Aptitude Battery test [PABT]. After these tests, candidates
undergone medical examination before finally admitted into the above mentioned academies, and after successful completion of
training, they are inducted into the armed forces.
Armed forces offer very exciting career to young men and women in several fields. Career in the forces, in addition as a career,
is also an adventure in itself. To ensure that appropriate candidates are chosen, a comprehensive selection process is adopted
by the armed forces through Service Selection Board (SSB) interview. This system of selection is based on the trait theory of
leadership which assumes that every leader must have some specific and pre-determined leadership traits. It also presumes
that such traits can be acquired by a candidate with the passage of time meaning thereby that a person once rejected in an
SSB interview is likely to succeed if he acquires some of the traits with the passage of time. The present system of selection,
although is long and takes four to five days, is thus based on an objective assessment of each candidate in which the qualities
like initiative, alertness, judgement, courage, physical fitness endurance, cooperation, group planning, decisiveness,knowledge,
etc. are judged. In addition, psychological and mental robustness of the candidate vis-a-vis requirements of the Armed Forces is
judged and finally an overall assessment of the personality of a candidate is made by way of an exhaustive personal interviews.
Officers qualities[edit]
Effective Intelligence. Reasoning Ability. Power of Expression. Self Confidence. Determination. Organizing Ability.
Initiative. Courage. Cooperation. Sense of Responsibility. Stamina. Group Influencing Ability. Liveliness. Social
Adaptability. Speed of Decision.

Introduction[edit]
There are many ways of being Commissioned as an Officer in Indian Armed Forces, both for civilians (after 10+2, graduation,
post graduation), as well as for Serving Personnel. Whatever be the mode, SSB is the step all have to clear, except for the
Medical Corps. There is no limit on the number of attempts that can be made and the SSB Assessors encourage candidates to
appear again for SSB.
The interview exercise is mainly a Psychological tests of the personality quiz of the candidate, to gauge his/her potential as a
future Officer in Indian Military. The tests conducted by the SSB aim at selecting individuals with OLQs (Officer Like Qualities).
The selection system is designed over a five day process, Day 1 is the screening test, Day 2 is the Psychologist Tests, Day 3 &
4 is the group tasks and Day 5 is theConference(Results). The personal interview will be conducted either in day 2,3 or 4 during
the post lunch or evening hours.
These qualities include Effective Intelligence, sense of responsibility, initiative, judgment (under stress), ability to reason and
organize, communication skills, determination, courage, self-confidence, speed in decision-making, willingness to set an
example, compassion and a feeling of loyalty to the nation.
Most of the tests require average intelligence. The SSB attempts to gauge the natural responses of the individuals. The tests
are graded into various categories of both individual and group variety and each batch of candidates goes through the subtle
testing pattern in the course of a few days. They are under observation not only while they perform in various psychological
tests but even as they conduct themselves during the course of their stay at the SSB headquarters, where they are billeted for
that duration.
The SSB Board is not concerned with the number of vacancies. Its responsibility is to assess and then, recommend. After
recommendation, the candidates appear for medical examination and after that is the Merit List. Those who finally make the
grade join for training and hence become Commissioned Officers.
Origin of these type of testing belongs to first world war era. In the First World War, large numbers of casualties on battlefields
necessitated recruitment of best fighting talent in armed forces. For this need, psychologists designed some scientific tests
which assesses candidate's Officer Like Qualities (OLQs). Over the years SSB testing has been improved based on feedback
and has been proved to be an effective and accurate way of selecting candidates who are capable of being at least an average
officer after training, although SSB is the world's toughest army test.
FACILITIES FOR CANDIDATES BY SSB
Pick-up and Drop from reporting Railway Station.
Furnished accommodation.
Messing.
Medical facilities.
Game, Magazines and Newspapers
These and some other facilities for candidates to ensure that they feel at home.
Procedure[edit]
The candidates who are declared by UPSC as having cleared the written exam or recommended by Preliminary Interview
Board (PIB) in case of Territorial Army (TA), as well as those shortlisted in Direct Entries are called through Call Letters to
appear for SSB (Allahabad/Bangalore/Bhopal/Dehradun/Mysore/Varanasi/Coimbatore/Gandhinagar/Kolkata) at the Centre
allotted to the candidate. There have been instances when the call-up letter fails to reach the candidate and the onus lies on the
candidate to be alert and contact the office after a reasonable amount of time if the letter is not received when UPSC written
has been cleared. This is similar for service candidates, except that their movement is intimated to their seniors via movement
orders.

Day 0 (Day of Reporting)
Reporting on the center is usually one day before first day of testing. Time of reporting varies from center to center. Sometimes
the candidates need to report on the same day of testing i.e. DAY 1 or Stage I.
On the day of reporting, the candidates are required to verify their educational documents from assigned staff. Candidates are
then allotted the SSB board and the chest numbers or a vest on which a number is printed on it. This vest or chest no. becomes
the identity of a candidate, as it is easier to identify a person by a number than his/her name. The chest number is also used
while interacting with fellow candidates during testing. The results are also announced by calling the chest numbers of
recommended candidates. Candidates have to return their chest numbers whenever they leave the campus of a selection
center. Sometimes the President of the board or the GTO officer gives a briefing to the candidates after successful verification
of documents and allocation of chest numbers.
SSB is a two-stage process. To qualify for Stage II, a candidate needs to clear Screening Test or Stage I. On the date of
reporting, the candidates are picked from the railway station and during the evening, certain Forms and Travelling allowance
forms are filled. Candidates are also briefed on testing schedule and general instructions, which must be followed throughout
the duration of stay in selection center.
Day 1 (Screening Tests)
On the next day, is the Stage I, in which candidates are given Intelligence Test (Verbal and Non-Verbal), then there is a Picture
Perception test, in which a slide (hazy or clear) is shown for 30 seconds, the candidate has to observe it very carefully and in
the next one minute he/she has to mark number of characters seen in the picture in a box made in the sheet provided to them
and the main theme of their story. First the mood of character whether in positive, negative or neutral, then approximate age
and sex. Candidates also need to identify one character which they saw first, which is often termed as Central character or main
character of story they are going to write, this character's details should be encircled so that assessor can identify which
character has been observed by the candidate as a main character. In a 4 minute time candidates need to write story, it is
expected that a candidate should write a story in 70 words or more. Candidates are advised to write the story on the picture
shown to them but some candidates describe the picture which gives them a disadvantage over others. Once the written part is
over then comes the second part which is the continuation of first part i.e. written part, the candidates are given their sheets
back to revise there stories and were told to sit in semicircular fashion for a Group Discussion. First each candidate will narrate
his/her story in one minute without looking at sheet to the rest of candidates one by one, in the duration of one minute. Often the
candidates take more than one minute to narrate their story, in that case the assessors give chance to next candidate. As
individual narration of stories ends with the last candidate, it is expected that the group should start the discussion and come to
a common story, as it is obvious that all candidates can perceive the same picture with different theme or background and a
different story from one another. This sequence is popularly called PPDT- Picture Perception and Discussion Test. After the
completion of these tests, results are announced and those who do not make it in this attempt are dropped back to the railway
station and the successful ones are retained for 4 days of detailed assessment. A certain number of candidates are short listed
based on their performance in screening round, rest are sent back. The screened candidates are required to fill the Bio Data
forms known as Personal Information Questionnaire (PIQ). PIQ is very important- there must be no cutting and consistency in
each of the four or five copies of PIQ you are to fill. PIQ is also the basis for the individual candidate interview, which is
scrutinized by the Interviewing officer before the interview of the candidate.
Day 2 (Psychology Tests)

1. Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)- Commonly known as Picture Story writing.
TAT is very similar to PPDT, but here the candidates are shown clear pictures, in which the candidate has to observe it for 30
seconds then needs to write a story on it in four minutes. There are total 12 slides are shown, 11 slides will be shown one by
one i.e. after 4 minutes and 30 seconds the next slide will appear. There will be only one answer booklet for all the
psychological tests, and will be provided only once, no supplementary sheets are provided. The twelfth slide will be a blank
slide where a candidate is supposed to write any story of his own choice. But here candidates will not be marking the no of
characters and related information, also there will be no group discussion on it.
1. Word Association Test (WAT)
WAT is the second psychological test of SSB selection process, in this test the candidates are shown a word on a screen for a
period of 15 seconds, in this time duration the candidate has to write the first thought that comes in his/her mind for that word.
Total 60 words will be shown one after another( i.e. between each word the gap will be of 15 seconds). The answer sheets will
be provided to candidates only once, candidates are required to make no mistakes such as unnecessary cutting or scribbling.
There will be no blank slide, as in the case of TAT, so candidates should not write any response on a blank slide. The words
shown will be very simple and of day to day use, this test will not assess a candidates proficiency in English language. If a
candidate is not aware of meaning of a certain words he can skip that word and wait for next word to flash, and write the
response for the next word. The main idea is to maintain the sequence of responses given to the word, the maintenance of
sequence is important, as assessor can derive the result systematically for the respective response.
1. Situation Reaction Test (SRT)
1. Self Description Test (SD), or a variation of this like description from the point of view of parents, teachers, colleagues,
neighbours, etc.
Total 15 minutes are given to write their responses.
Day 3 and Day 4 (GTO Tasks)
Recommended dress for GTO Tasks
Group Testing Officers (GTO) Test (Third and Fourth day)

The following tests are conducted in this category :1. Group discussion
2. Group Planning Exercise (sometimes known as Military Planning Exercise)
3. Progressive Group Tasks
4. Half Group Tasks
5. Individual Obstacles
6. Group Obstacles Race or Snake Race
7. Command Task
8. Lecturette
9. Final Group Task
Note:Interview :- (Held during afternoon/evening hours on 2nd/3rd/4th day)
Day 5 (Conference)
On the final day, every Assessor and the candidate sit together for and have a chat- the fate of the candidate for that SSB is
decided by the Assessors collectively there. The candidates are required to appear before the complete Board of Examiners
composed of President, Deputy President, all the psychologists, all the GTOs, and Technical Officer.
After the Board Meeting of every candidate is over,the final result is declared within an hour. Selected candidates are
required to stay back for their medical examination (takes about 3 to 5 working days) in the Military Hospital nearby or at a
different place and the remaining candidates are dropped at the Railway Station.
For all the tasks one has to face at the SSB, confidence of speech and expression is one thing that is heavily noted. Making
your weaknesses as your strong points is an art which can be done only through positive attitude. Truth is something regarded
at every point of life and SSB is all about how one views life, a realistic wonderland or a pessimistic terror land. Be true and
confident, it is a fool proof system of testing checked through experiments over a long period of time.
General points[edit]
Candidates appearing for the first time for a particular type of entry are paid AC-III tier (Train) to-and-fro journey fare
from the place of their residence (or nearest Railway Station) to the place where they have come for the interview. For
normal entry, a candidate appearing for the first time is entitled to an AC III- tier railway fare.
Candidates are requested to have their food before reporting to the centre. After then the messing facilities are

will have session called certificate verification. If you are liable to any of the situation you will be eliminated at that second

get through.

History[edit]
TET was introduced by the Government of India in order to improve standards in teaching. It was held for the first time in 2011.
[2]
For teachers already working, they are supposed to clear the exam in two years time. [3]
The Test[edit]
The exam is based on National Curriculum Framework. All graduates, including B.A, B.Sc, B.Com etc. are eligible to take the
test. All B. Ed. graduates need to pass this exam to work as a teacher. A candidate has to score over 60 per cent to clear the
eligibility test.[4] The exam is divided into Paper 1 and Paper 2.
The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) maintains the database.
Central Teacher Eligibility Test[edit]

In accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of Section 23 of the RTE Act, the National Council for Teacher Education
(NCTE) had vide Notification dated 23 August 2010 and 29 July 2011 laid down the minimum qualifications for a person to be
eligible for appointment as a teacher in classes I to VIII. It had been inter alia provided that one of the essential qualifications for
a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in any of the schools referred to in clause (n) of section 2 of the RTE Act is
that he/she should pass the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) which will be conducted by the appropriate Government in accordance
with the Guidelines framed by the NCTE. The examination is tough with qualification rates of 1% to 14% in the exams held so
far.
CTET 2015 exam is going to conduct on February 22, 2015 and scores will release in March 2015. Approximately 8.26 lac
applicants wrote the test.
The rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher is as
under:[5]
It would bring national standards and benchmark of teacher quality in the recruitment process;
It would induce teacher education institutions and students from these institutions to further improve their performance
standards;
It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government lays special emphasis on teacher quality
The Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India has entrusted the responsibility of conducting the Central
Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) to the Central Board of Secondary Education Delhi.
Andhra Pradesh[edit]
TET weight age is 20% in DSC for selection of teachers. Some 4 Lakh students appeared for 2012 test.
Rajasthan[edit]
Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE)conducted Teacher Eligibility Test known as RTET is an entrance examination
for teachers in Rajasthan state.
Teacher Eligibility Tests are conducted twice a year in the form of Level I and Level II.
Level I contains 150 questions which is divided into five parts such as I, II, III, IV, V.
Similarly, Level II is divided into 4 parts out of which I, II, III are mandatory.
Question papers for both the levels will have objective type questions containing 150 questions in total.
Time duration given for candidates who appear for this exam will be 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test[edit]

Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) is conducted by Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH) for categories of school
teachers i.e. Primary (PRT), Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) and post Graduate Teacher (PGT) time to time. Till 2009, it was
called as State Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) but after 2009 by implementation of RTE Act, 2009 and issuance of notification by
the NCTE in the year 2011, this examination was renamed as HTET. This test conducts in following Three Categories:
Level I : who intends to be a teacher for classes I to V (Primary Teacher)
Level II : who intends to be a teacher for classes VI to VIII (TGT Trained Graduate Teacher)
Level III: who intends to be a PGT (Post Graduate Teacher)
The rationale for including the HTET as a minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher is as
follows:
It would bring state standard & point of teacher quality in the recruitment process;
Those candidates who has qualified HTET/STET can also appear again for improving his/her score.
The Validity Period of HTET qualifying certificate is five years from the date of passing HTET.

There will be new regulatory agency in India to regulate health education by enforcement of a new bill being tabled in
the Parliament of India in the monsoon session of August 2010 for the formation of an agency called the "National Council for
Human Resource in Health in India NCHRH. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has approved the revised draft for the
proposed NCHRH Bill which will be an overarching body for the health sector.[1][2][3]
Becoming a doctor in India will be more difficult once the said regulatory authority starts functioning, which is expected to be at
any time from August 2010 onwards. The agency will also bring about overall transparency, eliminating the present, allegedly
corrupt admission formalities in the field of medical education. From the next academic year, i.e. 2011, onwards there will be a
common MBBS entrance test (single PMT)National Eligibility and Entrance Test -UG replacing the over 17 All India Pre Medical
Test(PMTs) conducted all over the country for over 35,000 undergraduate seats. But Tamil Nadu has moved the Supreme Court
challenging this decision of single common test for all India. [4]The second major change will be the National Exit
Examination National Eligibility and Entrance Test PG for students graduating from Indian medical colleges.[5][6][7]
The new draft proposes a National Committee for Accreditation and a National Medical Education and Training Board that will
register and accredit medical colleges and prepare curricula for all streams of education in the health sector. The powers of the
existing councils, including the Medical Council of India, will be substantially reduced and they will deal only with licensing,
continuing education and ethics. These bodies, though under the general supervision of the NCHRH, will be entirely
independent in their structure and functioning, and will consist of senior professional, selected or nominated through a rigorous
process. The NCHRH will be a 15-member body. The original NCHRH Bill was re-drafted after several States raised objections
on the ground that the body was highly centralized and would usurp the powers of the States. The re-constituted task force on
NCHRH held several rounds of consultations in New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai before coming up with the revised
version.[8][9]
Details of the NCHRH council bill:(0ld 0ne) There shall be established seven administrative departments under the Council for
regulation of each category of health professionals:
a) Department of Medicine;

c) Department of Dentistry;

g) Department of Allied Health Sciences
The draft bill, which was finalised by the union health ministry, for the establishment of the NCHRH as an overarching regulatory
body for health and allied sectors, has received the approval from the PMO. Now that it has received the PMO approval, it will
be put up before the Union Cabinet and will finally be introduced in Parliament for its final nod, sources said.
The NCHRH is proposed to be established by the health ministry as an overarching regulatory authority in the country to reform
the current regulatory framework in medical education and enhance the supply of skilled personnel to the healthcare sector in
the country. Once in place, the NCHRH will be the overarching regulatory body for all the premier medical educational
institutions and autonomous regulatory bodies like Medical Council of India (MCI), Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), Nursing
Council of India (NCI), Dental Council of India (DCI) and the proposed Central Councils for Paramedical and Allied Medical
Sciences Education.
It will prescribe standards with a view to have proper planning and co-coordinated development of medical and allied health
education throughout the country and maintain national live electronic register of medical and allied health professionals.
The expert group of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the task force of the Ministry of Human Resource
Development (HRD) broadly agreed to settle their turf war over the jurisdiction of medical education. The National Commission
for Human Resources in Health (NCHRH) will get tolay down the minimum standards of medical education, while all healthrelated research will comeunder the purview of the National Commission for Higher Education and Research (NCHER),
promoted by the HRD Ministry. The NCHRH and the NCHER draft Bills proposed as regulatory bodies have been pending
for the past several months as the two ministries were involved in a tussle over the jurisdiction of medical education
As per the draft bill, the administration of the Council will consist of a Secretariat headed by a Secretary-General who will be
appointed by the Council for a fixed term of three years. Under this secretariat, seven departments, each for separate
categories like Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Dentistry, Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy, Public Health & Hospital Management
and Allied Health Sciences, will be established and headed by a director for regulatory purposes.
In every state, there will be separate bodies constituted by the Council for each administrative department which will be known
as Registration and Ethics Board with name of the state in front and the department's name in the end. These bodies will
replace the existing State Councils. These boards have to maintain a live electronic register of professionals in the state of the
respective Department to be known as 'State Register of (name of the Department) and which will be linked to the National
Register of Human Resources in Health maintained by the Council.
Each Board will comprise a president, a vice-president and not less than 10 members out of which three will be women
candidates. There will be a nominee of the state government also.
In the new proposed bill Department of Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy; & Department of Public Health and Hospital
Management has been removed and a common para medical council has been suggested by committee.
which is totally unacceptable by 'Indian Association of Physiotherapist".They are in demand for their separate council from
almost 40 years.But still, government has not formed a separate council for them.Still government job comes on diploma degree
in Physiotherapy, but in this field education has reached up to PhD level.
According to WHO, it has been declared as separate profession apart from medical or paramedical.
Due to lack of effective council, this profession is unable to control above 65000 professional and quality of education & patient
care in on risk.Further social and educational importance are going down.

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is a computer based test held in India. This test scores a person on the bases
of quantitative ability, data interpretation, verbal ability and logical reasoning. The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) started
this exam and use the test for selecting students for their business administration programs. [3] The test is conducted every year
by one of the IIM's based on a policy of rotation. In August 2011, it was announced that Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs)
and Indian Institute of Science (IISc) would also use the CAT scores, instead of the Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET), to
select students for their management programmes from 2012-14 year.[4]

History[edit]
Before 2009, CAT was a paper based test conducted on a single day for all candidates. The pattern, number of questions and
duration have seen considerable variations over the years.
On 1 May 2009, it was announced that CAT would be a Computer Based Test starting from CAT 2009. The American
firm Prometricwas entrusted with the responsibility of conducting the computer based test. [5] The first computer based CAT was
marred by technical snags.[6] The issue was so serious that it prompted the Government of India to seek a report from the
convenor.[7] The trouble was diagnosed as 'Conficker' and 'W32 Nimda', the two viruses that attacked the system display of the
test, causing severe slow down.[8] CAT 2014 was conducted by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) as the contract of the previous
test agency Prometric had come to an end. CAT 2014 was a 170 minute test consisting of 100 questions(50 from quantitative
ability & data interpretation and 50 from verbal ability & logical reasoning).
Approval[edit]
CAT is conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management as a pre-requisite for admission to various management programmes
of IIMs, Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Faculty
of Management Studies (FMS) and few other institutions.[9]
CAT 2014 had a 170 minute test consisting of 100 questions(50 from quantitative ability & data interpretation and 50 from verbal
ability & logical reasoning).
Exam format[edit]
The Common Admission Test (CAT), like virtually all large-scale exams, utilises multiple forms, or versions, of the test. Hence
there are two types of scores involved: a raw score and a scaled score.
The raw score is calculated for each section based on the number of questions one answered correctly, incorrectly, or omitted.
Candidates are given +3 points for each correct answer and -1 point for each incorrect answer. No points are given for
questions that are not answered. The raw scores are then adjusted through a process called equating. Equated raw scores are
then placed on a common scale or metric to ensure appropriate interpretation of the scores. This process is called scaling.
Test Duration and Pattern[edit]

The CAT 2013 had only two sections. The first section is Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation; the second section is Verbal
Ability & Logical Reasoning. These two sections were implemented sequentially with separate time limits. The examination was
of 140 minutes.
Three scaled scores will be presented for each candidate: an overall scaled score and two separate scaled scores for each
section. As the two sections evaluate distinct sets of knowledge and skills, scores do not correlate across...sections. A high
score in one section does not guarantee a high score in another section. Percentile rankings are provided for each individual
section as well as for the overall exam score.[10] CAT 2014-15 Exam dates are out. The test will be taken on 16th and 22
November 2014 and the registration began on Aug 06, 2014. [11]
Number of candidates appearing for the examination [edit]

The number of candidates taking the CAT has varied over the years, as shown by the following graph:

Common engineering entrance examination

Two major engineering entrance examinations are used for admission to engineering institutes across India, Indian Institute of
Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) and All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE). In 2010, a proposal
for a common engineering entrance examination was made by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. The proposal
has gone through several names and formats, and is expected to enter use in 2014.

History[edit]
A common engineering entrance examination was first proposed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development in February
2010 as "a common system for common admission into professional institutions in the country". [1] One of the names proposed
was Indian Science Engineering Eligibility Test (ISEET). It was meant as a replacement for the multitude of existing exams, but
most specifically the Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) and the All India Engineering Entrance
Examination.[2] The first-year version of the exam was planned to cover admissions to centrally-funded institutions, including
the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information
Technology (IIITs), Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) and some deemed universities.[3]Per the
decision of the ministry on 20 May 2012, the exam is to be introduced starting in 2013. [4] Some state governments have already
announced they will not join the exam, at least not for the first year, until doubts, mainly about the languages in which the exam
will be made available, are cleared.[5] The proposal also received strong opposition from the All India IIT Faculty Federation
(AIIITFF) and the Indian Institutes of Technology alumni association, which stated concerns about the loss of the autonomy of
IITs in their admission process.[6][7]
Joint Entrance Examination (JEE)[edit]

Main article: Joint Entrance Examination
On 18 June 2012, a more specific format was proposed by a joint meeting of the councils of IITs, NITs and IIITs. As per this
proposal, the exam will be called Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and will be made of two parts, JEE-Main[8] and JEEAdvanced. Two distinct "patterns of admission" will be used. For IITs, an average of the marks from Class XII Board exams and
JEE-Main will be used for screening, allowing only a fixed number of candidates to be considered for admission. Ranking
between these candidates will be based entirely on JEE-Advanced, the format of which will be decided by the joint admission
board of IITs. For other institutions, the rankings will give 40% weight to Class XII Board exams and 60% to JEE-Main . [9]
Objections[edit]
Two of the IITs, IIT Kanpur and then IIT Delhi, have voiced strong objections to the common examination, and have announced
that if the change takes place, they will conduct their own admittance exams. [10]

Joint Admission Test for Masters (JAM)

(Redirected from Joint Admission Test to M.Sc.)
sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (August 2009)
The Joint Admission test for Masters (JAM) is an admission test to M.Sc. and other post-B.Sc. programs at the Indian
Institutes of Technology (IITs). From the Academic Session 2004 - 2005, IITs have started conducting a Joint Admission test for
M.Sc. The main objective of JAM is to provide admissions to various M.Sc., M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual degree and other post-B.Sc.
programs based on the performance in a single test and consolidate 'Science' as a career option for bright students from across
the country. In due course, JAM is also expected to become a benchmark for normalising undergraduate level science
education in the country.
As of 2014, the following are the full-time M.Sc. (Two-Year), Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D., M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree, M.Sc.-M.Tech., and
other Post-Bachelor Degree Programs at different IITs and Integrated Ph.D. Programs at IISc to which admissions shall be

Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET) was an admission exam used by some institutes in India as the first step in the
admission to postgraduate programs in management. Institutes which used the exams included Indian Institute of Science (IISc)
and the IIT Schools of Management. The results of JMET were used to short-list the candidates for subsequent part of the
selection process. In 2011 JMET was discontinued and replaced by Common Admission Test (CAT).[1]

Process[edit]
The exam was an aptitude test conducted by each of the IITs on a rotation basis. The exam tested the candidate's knowledge of
mathematics, data interpretation, logical reasoning and English usage. It was conducted annually in the month of December,
and comprised questions in multiple choice format. From 2007 onwards sectional cut-offs were introduced. Candidates clearing
all the four sectional cut-offs receive an All India Rank (AIR). The group discussion and or personal interview calls were given
out on basis of a candidates AIR and overall profile which included past academics, extra-curricular and work experience, and it
was not mandatory that all candidates who are declared as qualified by the exam will be called group discussion and interview.
Calling the candidates for such later process of selection was the prerogative of the admitting institute.
Format[edit]
The question paper consisted of four sections and 120 questions. Each correct answer carried one mark each and each wrong
answer attracted a penalty of 0.25 marks. The duration of the exam was 3 hours. The four sections include and the number of
questions are:
Section number

NET qualified persons are eligible for jobs in public sector [edit]
University Grants Commission (UGC) announced in 2013 that the candidates who clear the National Eligibility Test (NET)
successfully would be eligible for lucrative jobs in the public sector undertakings (PSUs). PSUs can utilise UGC-NET scores for
the recruitment process of the posts of executives in their organisations in disciplines like science (R&D), management,
corporate communications, human resources, finance, etc. This step taken by the UGC would also increase the number of
students taking the UGC-NET examination which has witnessed a gradual decline in recent years. [1]
Controversies[edit]
While a section of academicians advocated the abolition of the National Eligibility Test, the All India Federation of University and
College Teachers Organisation (AIFUCTO) has strongly opposed attempts to scrap the National Eligibility Test (NET). The
organization advocated that the test improves the standard of teaching in the country and instead of abolishing it all together the
government must revisit some of its provisions that are making it flawed and unimplementable. [2]
National Eligibility Test (NET) of June 2012was the most controversial examination because its results were published on 18
September 2012 & after the publication of the results, the Commission allegedly altered the Tests qualification norms by
mandating that candidates in the general category score an aggregate of 65 per cent for all three of the NETs papers to
become eligible for lectureship. The corresponding figure for the OBC category is 60 per cent and that of the SC/ST category is
55 per cent.According to the appearing students, in the original notification of the UGC it was specified that candidates in the
general category should score at least 40 per cent for papers one and two and 50 per cent for paper three to be eligible for
consideration for the final preparation of the result.[3]
UGC set an aggregate pass criteria General -65%, OBC - 60% and SC/ST - 55%. In the light of the student protests and
representations, the UGC released a supplementary list on 12 November 2012, which although qualified a few more
candidates, but it did not specify any criteria for the revised list.[4] Added to this was the fact that there were anomalies in the
results declared where candidates securing less than 50 percent aggregate were declared as qualified whereas many general
candidates with more 60 percent remained unqualified.
More than 7000 candidates approached the Kerala High Court against the University Grants Commission (UGC). The Kerala
High court declared as illegal the new norms fixed by UGC for the National Eligibility Test (NET) for college and university
lectureship. The court held that fixing of higher aggregate marks for three categories (General, OBC and SC/ST), that too just
before the announcements of results, cannot be justified as the same was "not supportable by law". [5]
In the light of this judgement, the University Grants Commission added the specific note "NOTIFICATION REGARDING
PROCEDURE AND CRITERIA FOR DECLARATION OF RESULT OF UGC NET TO BE HELD ON 30TH DECEMBER, 2012 "
on its website just two days before the examination.It also listed stepwise clearance criteria for candidates of different
categories and subjects according to the competitive cutoffs fixed by the University Grants Commission, with an aim to clear top
15 percent candidates only. [6]

Special Class Railway Apprentices' (SCRA) refers to a handful of candidates that are selected by the Union Public Service
Commission India, after a rigorous selection process, to the undergraduate program in Mechanical Engineering at the Indian
Railways Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Jamalpur. This programme was started in 1927 and is one of the
oldest in India.

Under Graduate Course[edit]

The SCRA scheme was started in 1927 by the British, to select a handful of the most intelligent Indians to assist them in their
Railway Operations, after training at their Railway's largest workshop, i.e. Jamalpur Workshop, and for one year in United
Kingdom. The selected candidates were required to appear in the Mechanical Engineering Degree Examination held by
Engineering Council (London).
Since then, the few admission seats for one of the country's first engineering college have always been hotly contested, with as
many as 3 to 4 lakh candidates taking the entrance examination, now conducted by UPSC, for about 42 seats.That translates
into an astonishing ratio of 1 selection per 10,000 applicants
The scheme has continued to draw the country's best talent after independence and has provided Indian Railways with its topranking officers in all walks. Many of the Institute's alumni have won international accolade for having achieved excellence in
their chosen careers, which include inventors, academicians, entrepreneurs, and high-ranking officers in other nations.
The examination comprises written test in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English Language, General Knowledge, and
Psychological Test (Mental Ability). The selected candidates are called for an interview, which is followed by a medical
examination. The standard of syllabus is that of Class XII (CBSE equivalent).
The notice for the SCRA entrance examination, along with form and syllabus, is brought out by the UPSC around the months of
JuneJuly. According to the new rules issued by the Ministry of Railways, the exam is now conducted once two time in a years.
The selected candidates undergo a four-year rigorous training programme in Mechanical Engineering, for which the Institute
has a Memorandum of Understanding with BIT, Mesra, Ranchi. The semester system of BIT, Mesra is followed, with workshop
training sessions during the holidays at BIT, Mesra.
The apprentices get a stipend of Rs. 9100[1] and Dearness Allowance, apart from other benefits such as medical care, privilege
passes, PTOs, etc.In short they are adopted by the Indian Railways with all high class facilities at Gymkhana Jamalpur, their
stipend also increases year by year. Moreover they have a guaranteed top notch Group A service which they get after
successful completion of four years of training, the candidates join as Indian Railway Services of Mechanical Engineers
(IRSME) Officers in Indian Railways to face a challenging and satisfying career.

Career[edit]
After the completion of their training, they are absorbed into the highest level leadership program in the Railway organization
(also called Group A Officers). This cadre of officers are attached to the IRSME.
On completion of the probation in SCRA, one is posted as an officer in the junior scale. Promotion to the senior scale takes
place after about two years of service in working post. After six to seven years of service, the officer is promoted to the Junior
Administrative Grade, which has two levels. One can be serving in various assignments at the Junior Administrative Grade for
810 years. This is followed by the Selection Grade.
The next in seniority is the Senior Administrative Grade, equivalent to the Joint Secretary, Government of India which is
obtained after 1618 years of service. Officers of this grade may be posted as heads of various workshops in the field, as heads
of a department functioning at the Headquarters office, as Addition Divisional Railway Manager or as the Executive Director in
the Railway Board. After six to eight years, while remaining in the same pay scale officers are selected to be appointed as
Divisional Railway Managers (DRM).
The Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) heads the organization at the division level. There are currently 67 divisions on the
system nationwide. The divisions are primarily involved with train running but uu have loco sheds (repair shops for locomotives),
coaching depots (repair home bases for passenger trains) and wagon depots (repair and maintenance points for freight stock).
Each division has all the functional (both line and staff) organizations. The heads of these functional groups report to the DRM
for administrative purposes but rely on guidance from the railway board and the zonal headquarters for policy guidelines. Union
Public Service Commission issued a notification for the Special Class Railway Apprentice SCRA Examination 2014 [3] to recruit a
large number of candidates, and will hold the SCRA exam on 18 January 2015 at various centres across India.
History[edit]
Since 1927[edit]
The Special Class Railway Apprentices (SCRA) scheme was started in 1927 to meet the demand for engineers on the EIR
(East Indian Railway) and on the GIP (Great Indian Peninsular) Railway. The SCRAs are selected by the Union Public Service
Commission (UPSC) on the basis of an all- India competitive examination, which is held every year. They are imparted training
in the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering at the Indian Railways Institute of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering
(IRIMEE) set up at Jamalpur, and, on completion of their training, serve the Railways in various capacities.
Academics[edit]
The SCRAs have distinguished themselves in academics, with 39 trainees obtaining honorable mentions from the A.M.I.Mech.
E(London) from 193339 and from 195466, with records for the intervening period of World War-II not being available. The
BE(Mech.) degree is now provided in collaboration with Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra. 56 SCRAs have also won Gold
Medals in the examinations conducted by the Institution of Engineers (India) and 3 have been awarded University Gold Medals
at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra.
All round[edit]
During their stay at Jamalpur, the apprentices are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities like sports, music,
debating and performing arts, which not only help in personal enrichment but also stand in good stead later in life. They manage
their hostel entirely on their own and organize big shows like the annual re-union of the Old Boys. This, along with the fact that
they interact, from very close quarters, with a myriad of people belonging to the Railways, gives them the confidence and the
ability to manage the organization in their later years.
The alumni of the Institute at Jamalpur have been an integral part of the Railways evolution from the steam era to the age of
high speed locomotives for a major part of this century by providing high quality techno-managerial inputs. Five SCRAs have
risen to the ranks of Chairman, Railway Board while 16 have been Members of the Railway Board. Also, a large number of
SCRAs have been General Managers and Principal Heads of Departments all over the Indian Railways and also in its sister
organisations like RITES, COFMOW, CRIS etc.
Outside the Railways as well, the SCRAs have been highly successful:- serving in organizations such as the World Bank, being
a part of the teaching faculty at universities like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology USA, working as top executives in
world class private concerns; both in India and abroad, being board members of Pakistan Railways and lots more. Over 60
alumni have been Principal heads or chief executives or CMDs of renowned organizations in India.

The Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) is a national level aptitude test conducted in India by XLRI (formerly known as Xavier Labour
Relations Institute), a business school inJamshedpur in the state of Jharkhand in India, as an entrance test for its and other
highly reputed institutes, including Xavier Institute of Management and Goa Institute of Management programmes.
Pattern[edit]
XAT 2013 was a three-hour-long exam. It was divided into an initial section of two hours and twenty minutes, consisting of
multiple-choice questions that tested Quantitative Ability (Mathematics), Verbal Ability (English) and Data Interpretation/Logical
Reasoning skills and a final section of 40 minutes which contained General Awaremess questions and an Essay question. [1] The
XAT is quite similar to the Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted by the IIMs, except that the CAT has no Essay and
General Awareness sections.
XLRI Jamshedpur has about 240 seats in its flagship BM (Business Management) and PMIR (Personnel Management and
Industrial Relations) programmes and 120 seats in its flagship 15 months full-time residential GMP (General Management
Program). The PMIR program has been renamed HRM (Human Resource Management). Apart from XLRI, 60 other institutes
accept XAT scores for selection of candidates to their respective programmes. About 1,03,427 students appeared for the XAT
exam in 2010. Candidates were surprised to note differential marking (1 marks to 5 marks) in XAT 2011 (Maximum Marks:252).
The paper was very difficult compared to all other Management Entrance Exams. [citation needed] XAT 2012, held on 8 January 2012
had fewer questions in all three sections (Decision Making:25, Quantitative Ability:32 and Verbal Ability:28). XAT 2012
(Maximum Marks:100) also had differential marking with questions allotted marks either 1, 1.5 or 2. There was an essay
question consisting of two statements on poverty, where the candidate was supposed to support one of them, giving justification
and examples. The result of XAT comes in last week of January.

entrance examinations are conducted by a state run university. This is because in Kerala, there are various state run
universities such as University of Kerala, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Mahatma Gandhi University, University
of Calicut, Kerala Agricultural University and Kannur University. To these universities several colleges are affiliated who also
take in students based on KEAM scores.

The method of ranking has changed since its conception in 2006. In 2009, a new method of ranking students was proposed and
put into practice in 2011 where the scores of the students in the entrance test and the scores of students in the 12th standard
examinations conducted by ICSE, CBSE, Kerala State board, Other State board examinations was considered. The scores are
then normalized to a set standard and then students are given a rank based on both the scores for the 12th grade examinations
and common entrance examinations.[5] The colleges under the each universities have their choice to follow the KEAM structure
in admitting students, however if a college participates in the KEAM allotment, the colleges should admit the student. KEAM
Allotment occurs in the month of August. There are also 73 private colleges that participate in 2011 KEAM Engineering and
Architecture Allotment.[2] In 2011 over 55000 students were admitted to Engineering Colleges by KEAM. [6] In 2011 additional 7
colleges were added[7] to the list making 80 private colleges and 37 Government and Government Aided colleges participating in
government allotment. However a majority of colleges run by Christian management conducted separate admission tests and
admitted many more students. Overall over 80000 students is expected to join in Engineering discipline in Kerala alone.

Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test

(Redirected from Tamilnadu Common Entrance Test)
The Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test is an eligibility examination for studying post graduate courses like M.E.,
M.Tech., M.Arch., M.Plan., M.B.A. and M.C.A. in colleges ofTamil Nadu, India. This examination is conducted by Anna
University, Chennai.

This article does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citation

The Tamil Nadu Professional Courses Entrance Examination (TNPCEE) was an entrance examination used for admitting
students to the Engineering and Medical Colleges in the state of Tamil Nadu in India. It is conducted by Anna University on
behalf of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

Content[edit]
The Entrance examination contains 3 papers: Mathematics, Physical Science (Physics and Chemistry) and Biology. Each paper
carries 50 marks and it follows Multiple Choice Question pattern. The performance in the TNPCEE is combined with the
performance in the Class 12 Board Examination to arrive at a "cut-off" which is used to determine the rank of the students.
TNPCEE carries 100 marks and Class 12 Board Examination carries 200 marks (marks obtained in Class 12 Board
Examination of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry normalized to 100 marks, 50 marks and 50 marks respectively).
History[edit]
TNPCEE was first conducted in 1984 by Anna University. Before that an interview was conducted but this was found to be
inadequate. Anna University has the impeccable record of conducting the test without any question or answers keys being
leaked. (Exam questions were leaked in the case of IIT-JEE, CAT and the EAMCET conducted by Andhra Pradesh.)
Controversies[edit]
For some years there have been controversies surrounding TNPCEE.
The first one was the wrong questions asked in the question paper which occurred two years in a row.
The next one is the discarding of the TNPCEE marks for the admission for the academic year of 2005-06 by the Tamil
Nadu Government. This was later reversed by the court and TNPCEE marks were taken into consideration.
The Tamil Nadu Government deciding to scrap the TNPCEE from the academic year 2006-07 and base admissions into
professional courses solely based on the Class 12 examinations. This was reversed by the Madras High Court and the
Tamil Nadu Government has appealed in the Supreme Court and its judgment is awaited. The ostensible reason is to
create a level playing field for the rural students. The Government claims that urban students have an edge in the Entrance
Examination. Almost all the major political parties, the most vociferous being the Pattali Makkal Katchi party, are against
TNPCEE.
The Class 12 Board Examination is insufficient when it comes to ranking the students. Many students obtain the same marks
and to break the tie it was suggested that date of birth be used. If the date of birth were also to match lots would be used (In
2005-06 when the TN Government discarded TNPCEE marks this happened). This would certainly cause heart-burn among the
students. TNPCEE is conducted to reduce the probability of many students obtaining same marks.
In the year 2005, an attempt was made by the erstwhile Tamil Nadu government to revoke TNPCEE pattern of engineering
admissions. Tamil Nadu government, based on the reservation policies, defended that the admission be made solely on the
12Th standard marks. This brought a lot critics attention who warned that would abysmally lower the engineering education
since Plus 2 examinations tests mostly of a student's memory retention whereas TNPCEE tests the student's problem solving
capabilities. High court ofChennai quashed this idea of admission. Hence the TNPCEE admission system is back in vogue.
TNPCEE 2006[edit]
After all the controversy about scrapping the TNPCEE, the Tamil Nadu government finally decided to hold it on the 18th and 19
May 2006.
Initially, all the self-financing and government aided colleges in Tamil Nadu were to admit students considering the cut-off with
the TNPCEE marks. Then, by a ruling called the Inaamdar Commission, around 180 self-financing colleges decided to break
away from the TNPCEE clique and formed the TNSF (Tamil Nadu Self Financing) Consortium. This consortium then conducted
an exam called the CET on 15th and 16 July.
First, this consortium was to fill up 100% of its seats based on a cut-off combining the board marks and the CET marks. But
now, by a court ruling, all minority colleges have surrendered 50% of their seats and non-minority colleges have surrendered
70% of their seats to the TNPCEE pool. This means that the CET marks will be used to fill only 50% in minority and 30% in nonminority colleges.
Counselling for general category candidates started on 21 July 2006. The vacancy positions at the end of each day are shown
on the Anna University Website. There is, however, no information brochure available online.
The State Government has been following the rule of 69% reservation for SC/ST/OBC etc. This year,[when?] a high court ruling has
stated that this reservation should not exceed 50%. Due to this, the excess 19% seats have been allocated in the open
category under the title FOC - Fifty percent Open Category. This has led to increased number of seats from self-financing and
government colleges for the open category.
Also, there will be no second round of counselling for TNPCEE. Seats that have been taken and discarded will not be available
to other deserving students but will be wasted for a year and then offered to diploma holders who are eligible for lateral entry.
Counselling process[edit]
The candidates are divided into time-slots according to their state rank and are required to report at the counselling venue at
their allotted slot. Here, they can collect their counselling passes after paying the counselling fee.
The students then go to the "Briefing Hall" where there are two big screens showing the seats that are currently available in all
colleges under the TNPCEE. Here, the original certificates are verified and the candidates are called for the actually counselling
in order of their state rank.
Once in the counselling room, there are around 40 terminals at which students can make their choice. Each terminal has a
person who assists the student in the counselling. When a student is allotted a terminal, the student is supposed to enter their
top three choices. Before doing this, the student can check up on seat status of various colleges. Once this is done, a screen
appears which shows choices and also how many people above you are yet to click their choices. You will be able to freeze a
choice only when students above you in rank have frozen theirs. As the number of students above you keeps decreasing, if
there is a sure chance of your getting your preferred college and branch, that particular choice becomes green indicating that
your seat there is assured.

West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination or the WB-JEE is a state-government controlled centralised test for admission to
many private and governmental medical and engineering institutions in West Bengal. The test is taken after the 12th grade for
admission to graduation (also known as Bachelors) courses. The exam can be taken by those who studied Pure Science
stream in plus two level with the specific subjects tested in the examination, which
are Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology. There are actually two separate tests for medical colleges and engineering
colleges, the difference being that the medical test has the Biology paper while the engineering test has the Mathematics paper.
Every year approximately 3 lakh people take the examination and it is increasing. Students of both West Bengal Council of
Higher Secondary Education and the central Indian School Certificate board take the test, though it is dominated by the former.
It's a prestigious test, and there are few students of science stream in West Bengal who don't take at least one of the two tests.
Guardians are waiting before the Sibpur Hindu Girls' School, Howrah, where the WBJEE is taking place.

History[edit]
From 2012,the old pattern was Phased out and the WBJEE would consist of only MCQ questions which differs from the
previous years by the fact that 2 Marks Short answers type questions are replaced by MCQ with the same weightage of marks.
Starting from 2012, all papers consists of 80 MCQ type question divided in two section. Section one consists of 60 MCQs of 1
marks each and Section two consists of the remaining 20 MCQs of 2 marks each. Negative marking is applicable. 30% of the
total marks of a question will be deducted for every incorrect answer. [1]
In 2006, the WBJEE contained only objective-type MCQ (Multiple Choice Question) type questions. This announcement
attracted mixed reactions with some applauding it as a step towards the future while others have said that opting for MCQ when
other tests were slowly phasing out MCQ because of studies showing MCQ failed to properly judge aptitude is a folly.
The WBJEE 2008[2] was Postponed Due To Paper Leak, after the physics, chemistry and biology papers were leaked. Two
persons, Arun Chowdhury and Mihir Dandapatt, were arrested on Saturday in West Midnapore's Ghatal, where the three papers
were being sold for Rs 2.5 lacs. The wbjee 2011 exam was postponed from 17 April 2011 to 22 May due to election date issues
in westbengal.
Participating Institutes[edit]
Various colleges intake students based on WBJEE Ranks. The Central Selection Council conducts a counselling session for
students where colleges are allotted to them. The institutions that take part in this session are:
1. Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur
2. Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya
3. Jadavpur University
4. Kalyani University Science Instrumentation Centre

5. University Institute of Technology, Burdwan
6. Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya
7. West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences
8. West Bengal University of Health Sciences
9. West Bengal University of Technology and its affiliated institutes.
However, the participation of Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur in WB-JEE has been subject to recent
speculation with the imminent upgradation of Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur (BESU) into IIEST. BESU is
likely to use the national level Joint Entrance Examination for admission of its undergraduate students, as in the case with other
national level engineering institutes like National Institutes of Technology and Indian Institutes of Science Education and
Research.

subject. Each section consists of multiple choice objective-type questions each of which has four choices. Out of the four
choices for a given question, only one choice is correct. Paper 1 has a negative-marking scheme wherein an incorrect answer is
negatively marked with one fourth of the maximum marks allotted to the question. Paper 2 has three sections: Mathematics,
Drawing, and Aptitude. Mathematics, and Aptitude sections have multiple choice objective-type questions and the Drawing
section has drawing-based questions. The duration of each paper is three hours. Candidates are not allowed to carry any
textual material, calculators, logarithmic tables or electronic devices into the examination hall. The number of questions and
their maximum marks have been variable through the years. The questions are based on a syllabus that is common to syllabi of
all the state boards in India and the Central Board of Secondary Education. Candidates can opt for question papers either in
English or in Hindi language. For admission to BTech or B.E. courses in the participating institutes the candidate is required to
take the Paper 1; for admission toBArch or B. Planning courses the candidate is required to take Paper 2. The examination was
conducted in offline pen and paper mode till 2010. In 2011, as per the orders of theMinistry of Human Resource Development,
CBSE conducted Paper 1 in Computer-Based-Test mode for the first one lakh candidates who opted for the same, while the
remaining students took the examination in the conventional pen and paper mode. [2] The number of attempts which a candidate
can avail at the examination is limited to three in consecutive years.
In 2010 the Ministry of Human Resource Development announced plans to replace JEE by 2013 with a common entrance test
for all government engineering colleges which will be called ISEET.[3][4]

Madhyamik
Madhyamik (Bengali: ) is a centralised examination conducted by the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education in
West Bengal, India, at the end of the 10th standard of high school. [1] By count of examinees, it is among the better known 10th
standard examinations in India. More than 6,00,000 (0.6 million) students took the exam in 2000, and the number has increased
substantially since then. The number of students has touched a record 1,000,000 (1 million) in the 2011 Madhyamik
examination. Compulsory subjects are first language, second language, physical science (combined with physics and
chemistry), life science, mathematics, history and geography.[2]

History[edit]
From 1857 to 1964, the secondary examination was conducted by the University of Calcutta, under the name of matriculation
examination. The Board of Secondary Educationwas established in 1951 under an Act of the State Legislature called the West
Bengal Secondary Education Act of 1950. The board was subsequently renamed as West Bengal Board of Secondary
Education in 1964, under the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education Act 1963. Since then, the examination has been
renamed as the Madhyamik Pariksha (literally secondary examination in Bengali; the word madhyamik translates from the
Bengali language as middle level).[2]
Exam structure[edit]
Earlier, the first language had two papers of 90 points each, all others having one paper each of 90 points except Second
Language and Mathematics, which had one paper each of 100 points.
As of 2011, the marks division has been 90 points each for all the compulsory subjects. In addition, corresponding to each
paper worth 90 (rather than the full 100) points, the school is allocated 10 points for internal evaluation. One exception is when
the examinee does not take the exam from any school, in which case there are 10 extra points in the written papers. As,
decision of the board pass marks is 25%. And a student must pass in every subjects. [2]
There is also an optional additional subject that can be chosen from those offered by the school among a huge selection
allowed by the Board. The most common choice is work education and physical education. Other popular choices include
mechanics and mathematics (the almost universal choice of high-scoring students) and book keeping (common among middle
range students). If a student wishes to take a subject as additional, it may be physics, chemistry, computer science, and others.
Though the subject is optional, very few students choose it. If the points obtained in the additional subject are more than 34, 34
points are deducted and the rest are added to the grand total. For points equal or lesser than 34, no points are added to the
grand total. Despite the presence of this subject, percentage totals are calculated in 800 and not 900 points, thus offering the
chance to score more than 100%. As of late this method has been discontinued and students may take up an additional subject
solely to gain knowledge. No points will be taken into account from this subject, a decision which has caused most to drop this
subject. Recently additional subject does not offer to make change the results. [2]
Efforts are on to calibrate the syllabus with the much easier and higher-scoring (but broader, including more topics but lacking in
depth) national curriculum offered by the central boards, namely the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations and
the Central Board of Secondary Education. There have been suggestions that the Madhyamik should be taken on the syllabus
of class 10 only as introduced in the higher secondary. The students of the current year (2011) are giving it like before, on the
syllabi of both Classes 9 and 10. However, from 2012, it is going to be taken only on the syllabus of Class 10. [2]
For Madhyamik 2007, the whole syllabus for all the subjects has been changed to lessen the load on the students. There has
both been some additions and some trimming done to all the subjects.[2]
While the majority of students passing Madhyamik usually go on to appear for the Higher Secondary Examination conducted by
the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education, students may also opt for the All India Senior School Certificate
Examination, conducted by the CBSE, or the Indian School Certificate examination conducted by theCISCE. In 2014
Madhyamik Exam Result will be announced on May 22, 2014. [3]

Medical Council of India Screening Test, also known as Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE), is a
licensure examination conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) in India.[1] The test is one of the
mandatory requirements for an Indian citizen who has a medical degree from a college outside India to practice
medicine in the country.[2] The other requirement is a compulsory one-year internship at an Indian hospital attached to a
medical college (teaching hospital). The screening test was introduced in 2002 as a qualifying examination for Indian
students obtaining their medical degrees from countries other than India, such as countries belonging to the
formerSoviet Union,[3] Eastern European countries, China, Nepal, Philippines, and Caribbean countries. Indian doctors
holding basic medical degrees from any country have to take the MCI screening test. The Medical School should have
been listed in the WHO international directory of Medical Schools.
The legality of the test was challenged in the Indian courts [4] and was upheld by the Supreme Court of India in 2009.
[5]
This test has generated controversy with accusations that it is unfair and lacks transparencyfor example, not
allowing examinees to retain their question paper after examination, or not showing the exact marks or answer sheet
upon appeal for failure. An appeal petition filed under RTI India to reveal the marks of an appealing student was not
granted.[6]
This examination is held twice in year in JUNE and DECEMBER on the 3rd monday & tuesday of the month.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a press release confirming the changes to the selection process at
IITs, NITs, IIITs, Delhi Technological University (DTU) and Centrally Funded Institutions (CFIs). According to the changes proposed,
AIEEE must be assumed as the first part of JEE i.e JEE Main.
JEE Main instead of AIEEE
The JEE (Main) (Paper I of earlier AIEEE) for B.E./B.Tech will be held in two modes, viz offline and online (CBT). The offline
examination for JEE (Main) will be held on 7th April, 2013 and the online examinations will be held thereafter in April, 2013.
The examination (Paper II of earlier AIEEE) for admissions to B.Arch/B.Planning courses at NITs, IIITs, DTU, Delhi and other CFTIs
will be held on 7th April, 2013 in offline mode only.
The merit list for admission to NITs, IIITs, DTU, Delhi and other CFTIs will be prepared by giving 40% weightage (suitably normalised)
to class XII (or equivalent examination) or other qualifying examination marks and 60% to the performance in JEE (Main) Examination.
The JEE (Main)-2013 (Paper I of earlier AIEEE) will have one objective type question paper. The paper will consist of Physics,
Chemistry and Mathematics. The duration of the paper will be 3 (Three) Hours.
The Paper II for admissions to B.Arch/B.Planning courses at NITs, IIITs, DTU, Delhi and other CFTIs will have one Question Paper
consisting of Mathematics, Aptitude Test and Drawing Test as per past practice of AIEEE. The duration of the paper will be 3 (Three)
Hours.
Only 1,50,000 of the top rankers in JEE (Main), which includes students from all categories (GE, OBC (NCL), SC and ST) will be
eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced)-2013 (hitherto known as IIT-JEE) for admission to IITs, IT BHU and ISM Dhanbad. Notice in this
regard has been issued by the IIT system separately.

New JEE 2013 eligibility criteria, exact board cutoffs to be known only after
board exams
Dec. 03 Engineering 1 comment
inShare1
The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admission to the undergraduate programmes in engineering would be conducted in two
parts. JEE-MAIN and JEE-ADVANCED. The JEE-Advanced examination will be held after JEE-Main with a suitable time gap. Only the
top 150,000 candidates (including all categories) in JEE-Main will be qualified to appear in the JEE-Advanced examination.
Admissions to IITs will be based only on category-wise All India Rank (AIR) in JEE-Advanced, subject to the condition that such
candidates are in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in the respective Boards in applicable categories. As one time
exception, in respect of those students who passed their Board exams in 2012, the eligibility criteria for joining IITs would be 60%
marks in XII Board examination (55% for SC/ST/PD).
Marks to be secured by a candidate to fall within the top 20 percentile will vary from one Board to another and from one year to
another year. The exact cut off of top 20 percentile marks in a Board marks will be known only after the Board results are declared,
depending upon the marking pattern of any Board.
No two Boards are being equated, instead a candidate would be tested against his peers who have appeared in the same Board
examination and whose performance has been evaluated in the same manner as them. The use of percentile ranking assumes that
the quality of students is uniformly distributed across the Boards.

Indian Administrative Service

The Indian Administrative Service (IAS) was formally constituted in 1947. It is the premier service in India and offers an
attractive and challenging career. There is fame and glamour also associated with this service for those who have excelled in
their posts. Even though most people think being the District Magistrate or Collector is the most powerful and glamorous post,
an IAS holds power at all levels of his/her hob. IAS is the service that places the officer right at the top of any government
organization. If you are a determined person you can lot of things in this service.
The IAS officers handle affairs of the government. At the state and central level, this involves the framing of the policies and its
implementation. At the district level, IAS is concerned with district affairs, including developmental duties. At the divisional level,
the IAS officers look after law and order, general administration and various developmental works.
Members of the Indian Administrative Service hold various administrative posts like District Collector, Heads of Departments,
and Head of Public Enterprises at the state level. They can also be posted on deputation to the Central Government to various
posts.
IAS being an 'All India Service' follows the Cadre system. In this system officers are allotted to state cadres, not necessarily to
your home state. So for all practical purposes you belong to that state service but may be deputed elsewhere in the country.
However you'll always be recognized by your allotted state cadre. This system though very useful tends to positively and
negatively affect the careers of an IAS officer. The cadre system is allotted on a basis of lottery and only the toppers of each
state may get a chance to serve their home state if they have opted for such a preference.

India Foreign Service

The Indian Foreign Service [IFS] is a Central Service and the premier diplomatic service of our country. Members of the IFS,
primarily represent the country in the international arena. The Indian Foreign Service deals with the country's external affairs,
including diplomacy, trade and cultural relations. It is responsible for the administration and activities of Indian missions abroad,
and for the framing and implementation of the Government's foreign policy.
The service offers immense exposure to different political, social, ethnic and cultural milieu. An I.F.S officer can be posted in 160
odd Indian Embassies and Missions abroad. They can also be deputed to institutions like United Nations, UNESCO, World
Bank, SAARC, etc. Back home, they can be posted in various parts of the country as Passport Officers.
Even though many toppers at the civil services exams opt for the IAS, with limited vacancies the IFS is also a tough service to
get. With India and Indians going global, this is the service which holds a lot of promise and glamour
Indian Police Service

The Indian Police Service [IPS] is primarily concerned with maintenance of Law and Order in the country. This is the premier
uniformed civil service in the country. An I.P.S officer works for both the Central and State Governments. He serves the State
Government in various capacities ranging from Assistant Superintendent of Police at the beginning of his career to the Director
General of Police (who is the head of the police force in his state) at the stage of retirement. He can also serve the Central
Government in various organizations like the Central Reserve Police Force, Border Security Force, Central Bureau of
Investigation, Intelligence Bureau, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) etc.
The IPS (Indian Police Service) is responsible for public safety and security. The IPS mainly takes care of law and order, which,
at the district level, is a responsibility shared with the IAS ; crime prevention and detection ; and traffic control and accident
prevention and management. In order to fulfil these functions with greater efficiency, this service is divided into various
functional departments, including : " Crime Branch, " Criminal Investigation Department (CID), " Home Guards, " Traffic Bureau.
With changing times however, more and more IPS officers are serving in departments and areas that used to exclusively be the
forte of IAS officers, just as the IAS officers now at times head departments like vigilance which were exclusively given to IPS
officers. This widening of opportunities and exposure has made the IPS even more attractive.
Again being an 'All India Service', it follows the Cadre system. In this system officers are allotted to various state cadres and
your service is allotted to that state. So for all practical purposes you belong to that state service and may be deputed
elsewhere but you'll always be recognized by your parent cadre. These systems though very usefull tends to positively and
negatively affect careers. The cadre system is allotted on a basis of lottery and the toppers of each state may get a chance to
get their home states if they have opted for such a preference.
the IPS is also filled through teh civilservices exam conducted by UPSC

Advisers and other executive posts generally held by Indian Administrative service officers. They are also posted on deputation
to various overseas offices of United Nations institutions, IMF and World Bank.
The biggest attraction of IAAS compared to other All India and Central Civil Services is its independence.
Indian Customs and Central Excise Service

Customs and Central Excise Service (IC&CES) is basically concerned with two main aspects, mainly Customs and Excise.

department is involved with the taxation of goods manufactured within the country. The members of this service begin their

Since there is no cadre system in this service you can expect to be posted anywhere in India nad even your home state, which
becomes a problem for many in the IAS or IPS. The tenures are also more stable with an average of 3 years unlike the other
two services where one may not even complete a month and the average tenure is around a year or so.
Officers of Indian Revenue Services (Income-tax) enter training at their academy at Nagpur. After training, they are posted as
Assistant Commissioners either on assessment or other work.

licensure examination conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) in India.[1] The test is one of the
mandatory requirements for an Indian citizen who has a medical degree from a college outside India to practice
medicine in the country.[2] The other requirement is a compulsory one-year internship at an Indian hospital attached to a
medical college (teaching hospital). The screening test was introduced in 2002 as a qualifying examination for Indian
students obtaining their medical degrees from countries other than India, such as countries belonging to the
formerSoviet Union,[3] Eastern European countries, China, Nepal, Philippines, and Caribbean countries. Indian doctors
holding basic medical degrees from any country have to take the MCI screening test. The Medical School should have
been listed in the WHO international directory of Medical Schools.
The legality of the test was challenged in the Indian courts [4] and was upheld by the Supreme Court of India in 2009.
[5]
This test has generated controversy with accusations that it is unfair and lacks transparencyfor example, not
allowing examinees to retain their question paper after examination, or not showing the exact marks or answer sheet
upon appeal for failure. An appeal petition filed under RTI India to reveal the marks of an appealing student was not
granted.[6]
This examination is held twice in year in JUNE and DECEMBER on the 3rd monday & tuesday of the month.

UPSC Preliminary Services Examination 2014 will commence on24th August 2014 and the last date for receipt of application is June
30th 2014.
Civil Services Aptitude Test

The Preliminary Examination of Union Public Service Commission for Civil Services Examination is also popularly called CSAT
or Civil Services Aptitude Test. The CSAT is actually the second paper of General Studies that was introduced in 2011. The CSAT
was implemented to end the use of scaling system for varying subjects in the General Studies paper and was a matter of
concern for many Civil Services councillors. With the introduction of the CSAT, the UPSC now intends to choose Civil Servants
who not only have the knowledge but also the aptitude for reasoning and analytical brain.
A very important point to be noted is that there is Negative Marking in the prelims and 1/3rd of marks allotted for every
question is reduced from your score if you get it wrong. So do not guess!
There are some changes made in the Civil Services Examination from 2013. It's for the first time the Indian Forest Service (IFS)
aspirants were combined with the Civil Services aspirants and are made to take Preliminary examination. Those Indian Forest
Service aspirants who may eventually clear the Preliminary examination have to write separate exams for their Mains Indian
Forest Service examination.
There is also a pattern change in the Civil Services Mains examination introduced from 2013. Now there are four compulsory
papers of General Studies, there is only one optional subject now instead of two, plus there is one compulsory essay paper.
English and one language paper is of only qualifying nature.
Scheme of Civil Services Examination

The Civil Services Examination consists of two successive stages I.
Civil Services Preliminary Examination (Objective type) for the selection of candidates for the Main Examination; and

Home Selection of Persons with Disabilities
Selection of Persons with Disabilities

Persons with disabilities (PWDs) who crack the Civil services exams may not necessarily get selected for the civil
services as they are routinely rejected by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) which cannot find
suitable services for them. Even though the PWDs get selected for the civil services after clearing two levels of
exams and the interview, the Department of Personnel and Training, the allocating authority, rejects them and
cancels their candidature.
In the last two years of 2012 and 2013, out of 67 such candidates who got selected, as many as 11 were waiting to
be allocated services. Many selected PWDs are allocated lower services than their ranking merits, on the ground
that the nature of their disability prevents them doing the job in most services.
The allocations of services is decided on the basis of the "list of services identified suitable for physically disabled
category along with physical requirements and functional classification" published in the gazette. It lays down what
service a successful candidate with disability can get.
For instance, under the category of locomotor disability, if the disability affects both hands or arms, you can get into
the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) but not any of the other 23 services.
Similarly, the Delhi Andaman and Nicobar Islands Police Service (DANIPS) is open to those with one leg affected or
whose hearing is impaired. However, they are not eligible for either the Pondicherry Police Service or the Indian
Police Service (IPS).
All accounts services, the Indian P&T Accounts & Finance Service, Gr.A, Indian Civil Accounts Service, Gr. A and
Indian Railway Accounts Service are open someone with one arm (OA) or one leg (OL) affected or with one arm and
one leg affected (OAL) and to those with both legs affected (BL). However the Indian Audit & Accounts Service Gr. A
alone is not open to persons with both legs affected.
There has been a lot of protests due to these perceived discrepancies. A group dedicated to this cause is formed, it's
called the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP). With much activism they
have been able to now get a 3% quota in all services for PWDs mandated by the Disability Act 1995, through the
intervention

How to choose an optional subject?

The new shift in Civil Services Main examination has not resolved the dilemma of choosing the optional subject. The
candidates keep on asking what subject they may take as optional to score high marks.
The popular choices among candidates are; Public Administration, Sociology, Geography, History, Political Science and
Philosophy. More than 80% of the test-takers opt for these subjects. This is because all these subjects overlap with general
studies. Among them Public Administration is the most popular choice. However, question remains do they fetch high
marks?
There are some thumb rules for selecting the optional subject. First, you should not select the subject, if you are not
comfortable with it. Normally one should select subject studied at the graduation level. The criteria of the choice of subject
should be as per your interest, rather than having studied them at the graduation level.
Also keep in mind that you may have been proficient in a subject, but lack of touch may make it tougher to re grasp the
same subject. This applies for technical subjects. In such case it is advisable to take a fresh subject. If you are engineering,
medicine or science graduate and have been working for some time, you may have lost touch with your core subjects of
graduation days. In such case it is advisable to take new subject which is easy to grasp.
The selection of a subject should be based on the availability of the study material. A huge study material is available for
subjects such as History, Sociology, Anthropology, Geography, Political Science, Psychology and Public Administration.
Remember, the competition is among the people who have opted for the same subject. The social sciences papers have
huge number of takers and due to it scoring high marks in these subjects are extremely difficult. So if you are comfortable
in a subject that has minimum rush, there are chances of scoring good marks is more.
However, it all depends on how much time you can spend every day on your optional subject. Even with the subjects of
your liking some time is needed to prepare them. If you're basic concepts of any science or technical subject is clear, then
go for it, else opt for a social science subject. Many science, medicine and engineering students are opting for a social
science subjects. They are easy to grasp provided you have a good memory.
The other rule of the selection of optional subject is to analyze the syllabus thoroughly. After that look for the question
papers of the previous years, and analyze its past trends. This has to be done at the very beginning and some time has to be
spent on it to make a final call on it. Once you make up your mind selecting your optional subject, take a plunge into it and
never regret of not choosing any other optional subject.
Last but not the least get some feedback/advice from those who have qualified examination on the subjects they had taken
as optional to write their mains examination. You must ask them how much marks they scored in the two papers of the
subject. Also take some tips on the study material and the way they went about its preparations. Sometimes, such views are
printed in the competitive magazines, you have to go through them and develop your own ideas based on them in choosing
an optional paper
How To Prepare For Prelims (CSAT)

The Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) includes two objective type question papers of two hundred marks and two hours
time duration for each paper. One is on General Studies and the other is General Aptitude Paper( which has now replaced
the optional subject that was there earlier). With the Civil Service exam having very limited seats it's a very difficult exam
to crack. Many students appear multiple times to clear it.
Changes in formats of question papers always tend to create a lot of mental discomfort in students. Many students are
fearful of subjects like mathematics. This fear may be baseless considering the changes lay greater emphasis on the
"aptitude" which mainly involves reasoning skills and not just mathematics.
The civil services examination is basically a test to choose suitable administrators. It tests the candidate right from the stage
when one starts the preparation. One common misconception about the prelims is that it is a test of facts and figures. That
was never so and specially now. A candidate should have the right frame of mind and the will power to succeed in the
exam. A proper action plan is needed for the preparation itself since he /she will be tested for some essential qualities like
power of retention, clarity of concepts, ability to identify the correct alternatives with efficiency and accuracy. All this
requires a quick decision making power.
With the new pattern, more stress is on language skills and analysis and decision making capacities, so work on these on a
consistent basis as these are skills that are developed over years and not just in a few months. It would be advised to start
focusing on your problem solving and language skills as soon as you decide to take these exams.
Paper 1 is on General Studies

This includes areas like
1. Indian National Movement, Indian Polity, Basic Economic Understanding, Geography
2. While the dynamic part includes current affairs, GK and has no proper definition and syllabus making quite
vast.
Paper 2 includes mathematics, reasoning, analytical ability, and interpersonal skills. Unlike paper 1 which has a static part,
paper 2 is dynamic in many sense.
Unlike paper 1 where quantity of questions is a major determinant for the static section, paper 2 cannot be tamed without
solving dynamic questions, that requires on the spot mental ability.
Since the preliminary exam in particular is a test of endurance, candidate must prepare on the physical as well as mental
level. The main constraint is the time one gets to answer the questions. On an average one gets around 40 seconds for each
question.
One sure way of dealing with this stress is to take a few deep breaths. Meditation and Yoga also help in dealing with stress
to a great extent.
The prelims exam since is a multiple choice question test, it needs a different preparation and a proper strategy. The first
thing a candidate needs to bear in mind is that the examination is designed to evaluate certain qualities like a sharp memory
and basic retention power. There are ways to increase one's memory like preparing charts. One gets confused when faced
with mind boggling facts and figures. Important facts and figures can be simplified and represented on charts and they can
arranged in the form of tables or graphs. Another thing to remember is to make short and brief notes on each topic so that
the entire syllabus can be revised a few days before the exam.
It is better to use diagrams and link words which make it easier to understand difficult concepts. One more technique to
help in retaining information is the use of abbreviations. Since the syllabus involves exhaustive information abbreviations
help you to remember it better. It is a good method to remember dates, facts and figures in a picture format and to break up
complex names and places into smaller and simpler words. The last and the most important technique is to do regular
revision. This helps in retaining the maximum information. A separate time slot should be given to doing not only regular
but multiple revisions like daily, weekly, monthly etc.
Many candidates make a mistake of overloading themselves with lots of information and end up remembering nothing.
One should be able to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information. Since the preliminary exam is an
elimination round the candidate should also learn to focus only on the information needed and filter out the rest. It helps to
discuss with friends and teachers but the most reliable way is to solve past years question papers. One should also keep
abreast with current events and information related to them.
An important thing to remember is that for this exam it is not just enough to remember information but to understand the
concepts as well. Instead of memorizing facts and figures, conceptual clarity in needed. The questions asked are of 10+2
level. Therefore emphasis has to be on conceptual clarity. Any concept has to be understood with its origin, merits and demerits, then it needs to be analyzed with other relevant topics and lastly it has to be correlated with the events that have
taken place during the year.
The preliminary exam requires candidates who have the acumen and the ability to choose the right option from four given
options. This needs a proper method of elimination. It is a good idea to go through previous years and model question
papers and solve as many of them as possible. Taking a mock test of a certain number of G.S. questions and mathematics
and general ability questions would be a good practice work and help to pick out the most appropriate option.
Each prelims paper is for two hours but a lot of time is wasted in signing attendance sheets etc, therefore there is a lot of
need for effective Time Management is needed for the actual exam. It is not enough to know the right answer but it has to
be marked correctly on the answer sheet. Speed and Accuracy are important, so solving model question papers on a regular
basis would be a great help.
A good presence of mind is needed to eliminate the least appropriate options and arrive at the right one. However beware
of negative marking so it is better to mark only sure shot answers than making guesses.
Throughout the preparation for the prelims exam, it is important to remember that any topic or concept should not be
studied in isolation. It is better to understand and establish a correlation between related concepts from other subjects and
current events and happenings.
Even with all this preparation, it is necessary to have a positive attitude and a great amount of will power to succeed to
achieve your goal that of getting through the civil services examination with flying colors!
Strategy for General Studies Preliminary

Examination 2014
The UPSC notification of 2011 for the Civil Services preliminary examination has
made changes in the pattern of Preliminary examination. The Preliminary
Examination consists of two papers of objective type (multiple-choice questions)
carrying a maximum of 200 marks each. There are 100 questions for the Paper I and
80 questions for Paper II. The Question Papers are set in English & Hindi.
Strategy for General Studies Paper 1:

There are some basic tips to handle General Studies Paper 1 for the Prelims
examination. An in-depth understanding of subjects given in the syllabus can help
candidates to prepare for the prelim exams in a much better way.
General Studies Paper-I Syllabus comprises of 'Eight' subjects.

1. History of India and Indian National Movement;
2. Indian and World Geography;
3. Indian Polity and Governance;
4. Economic and Social Development;
5. Environmental Ecology;
6. Bio-diversity and Climate Change;
7. General Science;
8. General Knowledge and Current Events.
Since the syllabus does not give much detail of the topics to be studied under each
subject it is expected to gain knowledge of them that should be slightly below the
graduation level but definitely above the high school level.
Exam Pattern: There are 100 questions to be answered in two hours, each question
carries two marks. It means there is about 80 seconds to answer each question. So
speed and accuracy is essential to tackle this examination. While the correct answer
will fetch 2 marks, a wrong answer means a loss of 0.66 marks.
The 100 questions can be grouped into three categories:

i.
Multiple Choice Questions - single response correct
ii.
Multiple Choice Questions - multiple response correct
iii.
Multiple Choice Questions - Matching type
Strategy:
The number of questions asked from different sections varies each time and there is
no fixed rule for this. The nature of questions asked are generally on basic
principles, their application, factual information and current affairs. Some questions
are based on applied aspects of principles and factual information. It has been found
that many of the questions overlap with more than one section of the syllabus.
The answer to the question require analytical bend of mind. So mere reading
NCERT high school texts books is now insufficient for the preparation of the prelim
examination and in depth reading is required to handle such questions. The best
way should be to adopt an integrated approach for preparation combining it with
Mains, and one should make efforts to understand the principles and then strive to
find their applications in daily life. The new addition in the syllabus since 2011 is on
Environmental ecology, Bio-diversity and Climate Change. So it is wise to prepare
these areas from the view-point of the Main Examination.
Considering the nature of the examination the tactics must be to focus on greater
rather than intensive coverage. One is expected to know everything at the same
time. However, only basics of each of the discipline are needed, so one master as
many basic facts as possible, avoiding the element of over-kill in the preparations at
Prelims stage.
Reading Material:
The best way would be to have the NCERT books for conceptual clarity and do in
depth study of relevant topics from graduation level text books. One should have a
good general studies book at its sides for reference because here most of the
reading material is available at one source. Regular reading of newspapers and
magazines and periodicals is essential to master over current developments in
economic, political and social issues and policy changes.
Paper II
Paper-II Syllabus comprises of 'SEVEN' subjects and is in the nature of Aptitude
Test.
1. Comprehension
2. Interpersonal skills including communication skills;
3. Logical reasoning and analytical ability
4. Decision making and problem solving

5. General mental ability
6. Basic numeracy (numbers and their relations, orders of magnitude, etc.)
7. Data interpretation (charts, graphs, tables, data sufficiency etc.
Strategy for General Studies Paper II:

The paper II or aptitude test may look complex at the surface but scratching it a bit
it's not a difficult nut to crack. The best strategy, to read the basic concept first and
develop a fair understanding of the question asked in each section. In case if you
are unable to handle, you need someone to guide you first before moving on for
taking the practice test. The pattern of allotting specific number of marks for
specified section for each syllabus is followed for the paper II. So dig out the
question paper of Paper II since 2011 and study the pattern of marks allotted to each
segment and then accordingly start taking the practice test. The Paper II provides
huge avenue for scoring high marks, so make full throttled preparation as this could
be the deciding factor for qualifying the Prelims exam.
How to handle the exam:

The basic tip for the examination hall is one should read the questions carefully and
thoroughly before selecting the correct answer. If a question cannot be answered
immediately, one should move to the next question. After going through the whole
question paper and answering all the questions, one may get back to unanswered
questions. Since there is negative marking, one should avoid making guesses. Time
management is very vital during the examination. Since there is only a minute or
more to answer a question, speed and accuracy is the key to handle this exam. This
can be done so by taking mock test with all its seriousness while preparing for the
Paper-I of the Prelims examination.
Brief dos and don'ts preparing for prelim examination:
Final preparation must start by testing self with the revision-type Model Test
Papers.
Do not get discouraged by initial low score.
Emphasis on your weak-spots
Keep testing yourself at a regular interval.
Make a mental note of areas you have covered and what remains to be
covered.
Be analytical in response.
Do not overstretch yourself area of coverage-wise.
Revise your stuff a number of times.
A calm mental state is most important.
Since there is negative marking, attempt only the answers which you are
sure of.
Do not get stuck at any question, move on from question to question and
attempt the difficult ones at the end.
The changes made the UPSC in the syllabus and the pattern of examination of the
Prelim examination, points towards change in the nature of questions being asked.
Therefore it calls for a change in strategy and change in the tools of preparation.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) of India is a statutory organisation set up by the Union government in 1956, charged with coordination,
determination and maintenance of standards of university education. It provides recognition to universities in India, and disburses funds to such
recognized universities and colleges. Prof. Ved Prakash, a noted academician and education administrator, is the incumbent Chairman of UGC,
India.[1] Its headquarters are in New Delhi, and six regional centres in Pune, Bhopal, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Guwahati and Bangalore.[2]

History[edit]
UGC was recommended in 1945 and formed in 1946 to oversee the work of the three Central Universities of Aligarh, Banaras and, Delhi. In 1947,
the Committee was entrusted with the responsibility of dealing with all the then existing Universities. After independence, the University Education
Commission was set up in 1948 under the Chairmanship of S. Radhakrishnan and it recommended that the UGC be reconstituted on the general
model of the University Grants Commission of the United Kingdom.
UGC was formally inaugurated by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the Minister of Education, Natural Resources and Scientific Research on 28 December
1953.
The UGC was however, formally established in November 1956, by an Act of Parliament as a statutory body of the Government of India. In order to
ensure effective region-wise coverage throughout the country, the UGC has decentralised its operations by setting up six regional centres
at Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bhopal, Guwahati and Bangalore. The head office of the UGC is located at Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg in New Delhi,
with two additional bureaus operating from 35, Feroze Shah Road and the South Campus of University of Delhias well.UGC Act 1956
Professional councils[edit]
UGC, along with CSIR currently conducts NET for appointments of teachers in colleges and universities.[3] It has made NET qualification mandatory
for teaching at Graduation level and at Post Graduation level since July 2009. However, those with Ph.D are given five percent relaxation.
Accreditation for higher learning over Universities under the aegis of University Grants Commission is overseen by following sixteen autonomous
statutory institutions :[4][5]
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)
Distance Education Council (DEC)
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)
Bar Council of India (BCI)
National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE)
Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI)
Medical Council of India (MCI)
Pharmacy Council of India (PCI)
Indian Nursing Council (INC)
Dental Council of India (DCI)
Central Council of Homoeopathy (CCH)
Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM)
Rehabilitation Council[5]
National Council for Rural Institutes
State Councils of Higher Education
Council of Architecture
Future[edit]
In 2009, the Union Minister of Education made open the government of India's plans to close down UGC and the related body All India Council for
Technical Education (AICTE), in favour of a higher regulatory body with more sweeping powers.[6] This goal, proposed by the Higher Education and
Research (HE&R) Bill, 2011, intends to replace the UGC with a "National Commission for Higher Education & Research (NCHER)" "for
determination, coordination, maintenance and continued enhancement of standards of higher education and research".[7] The bill proposes absorbing
the UGC and other academic agencies into this new organization. Those agencies involved in medicine and law would be exempt from this merger
"to set minimum standards for medical and legal education leading to professional practice".[8] The bill has received opposition from the local
governments of the Indian states of Bihar, Kerala, Punjab, Tamil Nadu andWest Bengal, but has received general support.[7]

Overview[edit]
The country witnessed the beginning of an alternate mode of education when the school started with a modest admission of
900 students in 1962 . The school enrolled more than two lakhs students in the Academic Session 2006-2007. On many
occasions our students have been toppers in various disciplines. The admission process for various courses in the school is
governed by the norms established by the University of Delhi. The examination is also conducted by the University of Delhi. The
University of Delhi confers the degree to the students of the school as it does in the case of its other constituent colleges. There
is no differentiation in the course curriculum followed by the school of Open Learning and other constituent colleges and
Departments of the University of Delhi. In an effort to cater to the needs of a growing number of students the school established
the South Study Centre at Moti Bagh from the academic session 1990-91. In an effort to reach out to a larger number of
students the school is in the process of opening up Study Centre in the Eastern and the Western part of the National Capital
Region of Delhi.
The school offers undergraduate/postgraduate degree courses in the subjects of Arts/Humanities and Commerce. The medium
of instruction is primarily through well-prepared printed course material which is distributed by mail to all the enrolled students.
This is also supplemented through Personal Contact Program conducted for the benefit of students at various study centers run
by the school. An experienced faculty is always available at the main campus for academic interaction with students.
[1]
The school offers learning through the distance education mode, which is a viable alternative for students who need a flexible
medium of instruction to attain higher education and vocational skills.
In addition, the school maintains a well-stocked library to facilitate wide exposure to contemporary developments in streams of
courses offered. The school also has a South Study Centre at South Moti Bagh, New Delhi.

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (Hindi: ), known as IGNOU, is a distance
learning national university located in IGNOU road, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi, India. Named after former Prime Minister of
India Indira Gandhi, the university was established in 1985 with a budget of 20 billion (20 billion Indian rupees), when
the Parliament of India passed the Indira Gandhi National Open University Act, 1985 (IGNOU Act 1985). IGNOU is run by
the central government of India.
[2]
[3]
IGNOU, the largest university in the world with over 3 million students, was founded to impart education by means of distance
and open education, provide higher education opportunities particularly to the disadvantaged segments of society, encourage,
coordinate and set standards for distance and open education in India and strengthen the human resources of India through
education. Apart from teaching and research, extension and training form the mainstay of its academic activities. It also acts as
a national resource centre, and serves to promote and maintain standards of distance education in India. IGNOU hosts the
Secretariats of the SAARC Consortium on Open and Distance Learning(SACODiL) and the Global Mega Universities Network
(GMUNET) initially supported byUNESCO.
[1]

[5]
IGNOU has started a decentralisation process by setting up five zones, viz, north, south, east, west and north east. The first of
the regional headquarters, catering to four southern states, Pondicherry, Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep, is being set
up in the outskirts of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala.

In 1970 (International Education Year), the Ministry of Education and Social Welfare in collaboration with the Ministry of
Information and Broadcasting, the UGC and the Indian National Commission for cooperation with UNESCO, organised a
seminar on 'Open University'. The seminar recommended the establishment of an open university in India on an experimental
basis. The government of India appointed an eight-member working group on open university in 1974. The leading role was
given to G. Parthasarathi, the then Vice-Chancellor of the Jawaharlal Nehru University.
The working group recommended establishing an open university by an act of parliament as early as possible. The university
should have jurisdiction over the entire country so that, when it is fully developed, any student even in the remotest corner of the
country can have access to its instruction and degrees (Working Group Report, 1974).
The working group suggested several measures to be followed in instructional and management processes of the open
university which include: admission procedure, age relaxation, preparation of reading materials, setting up of core group
scholars in different fields, setting up of study centres, vehicle of curricular programmes, live contact with teachers, and so on.
On the basis of the recommendations of the working group, the Union Government prepared a draft bill for the establishment of
a National Open University, but due to some reasons the progress was delayed.

In 1985, the Union Government made a policy statement for establishment of a national open university. A Committee was
constituted by the Ministry of Education to chalk out the plan of action of the national Open University. On the basis of the report
of the Committee, the Union Government introduced a Bill in the Parliament. In August 1985, both the Houses of the Parliament

History[edit]
TET was introduced by the Government of India in order to improve standards in teaching. It was held for the first time in 2011.
[2]
For teachers already working, they are supposed to clear the exam in two years time. [3]
The Test[edit]
The exam is based on National Curriculum Framework. All graduates, including B.A, B.Sc, B.Com etc. are eligible to take the
test. All B. Ed. graduates need to pass this exam to work as a teacher. A candidate has to score over 60 per cent to clear the
eligibility test.[4] The exam is divided into Paper 1 and Paper 2.
The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) maintains the database.
Central Teacher Eligibility Test[edit]

In accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of Section 23 of the RTE Act, the National Council for Teacher Education
(NCTE) had vide Notification dated 23 August 2010 and 29 July 2011 laid down the minimum qualifications for a person to be
eligible for appointment as a teacher in classes I to VIII. It had been inter alia provided that one of the essential qualifications for
a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in any of the schools referred to in clause (n) of section 2 of the RTE Act is
that he/she should pass the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) which will be conducted by the appropriate Government in accordance
with the Guidelines framed by the NCTE. The examination is tough with qualification rates of 1% to 14% in the exams held so
far.
CTET 2015 exam is going to conduct on February 22, 2015 and scores will release in March 2015. Approximately 8.26 lac
applicants wrote the test.
The rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher is as
under:[5]
It would bring national standards and benchmark of teacher quality in the recruitment process;
It would induce teacher education institutions and students from these institutions to further improve their performance
standards;
It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government lays special emphasis on teacher quality
The Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India has entrusted the responsibility of conducting the Central
Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) to the Central Board of Secondary Education Delhi.
Andhra Pradesh[edit]
TET weight age is 20% in DSC for selection of teachers. Some 4 Lakh students appeared for 2012 test.
Rajasthan[edit]
Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE)conducted Teacher Eligibility Test known as RTET is an entrance examination
for teachers in Rajasthan state.
Teacher Eligibility Tests are conducted twice a year in the form of Level I and Level II.
Level I contains 150 questions which is divided into five parts such as I, II, III, IV, V.
Similarly, Level II is divided into 4 parts out of which I, II, III are mandatory.
Question papers for both the levels will have objective type questions containing 150 questions in total.
Time duration given for candidates who appear for this exam will be 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test[edit]

Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) is conducted by Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH) for categories of school
teachers i.e. Primary (PRT), Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) and post Graduate Teacher (PGT) time to time. Till 2009, it was
called as State Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) but after 2009 by implementation of RTE Act, 2009 and issuance of notification by
the NCTE in the year 2011, this examination was renamed as HTET. This test conducts in following Three Categories:
Level I : who intends to be a teacher for classes I to V (Primary Teacher)
Level II : who intends to be a teacher for classes VI to VIII (TGT Trained Graduate Teacher)
Level III: who intends to be a PGT (Post Graduate Teacher)
The rationale for including the HTET as a minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher is as
follows:
It would bring state standard & point of teacher quality in the recruitment process;
Those candidates who has qualified HTET/STET can also appear again for improving his/her score.
The Validity Period of HTET qualifying certificate is five years from the date of passing HTET.
A candidate may appear in this test as many time for acquiring Certificate as there is no restriction on the number of
attempts.
In 2015, HTET is going to held in April, 2015 (according to the News Sources)

National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) is an Indian government body set up under
the National Council for Teacher Education Act, 1993 (#73, 1993) in 1995 is to formally oversee
standards, procedures and processes in the Indian education system.[1][2]

History[edit]
Before 1995, the NCTE had existed since 1973 as a government advisory body (and not as a separate
institution) to look after development and progress of "teacher education". The NCTE was then only a
department of the National Council of Educational Research and Training. As per the NCTE's own
admission, it failed in its objective of overlooking and, to an extent, regularising norms and processes in
teachers' education in India because of lack of formal jurisdiction. To that effect, the National Policy on
Education, 1986[3] allowed the setting up of a government authorised institution with formal powers.
[4]
The act was amended further on as the "National Council for Teacher Education (Amendment and
Validation) Ordinance, 2006". [5]
Current scope[edit]
NCTE forms an extremely critical structure of the Indian government's National Curriculum Framework
for Teacher Education 2009, and has been the organisation that developed the year 2009 draft of the
same framework.[6]
As of 2007, the NCTE has its headquarters in New Delhi apart from regional representations in many
other cities.[7] Four official 'Regional Committees' of NCTE operate
from Jaipur, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar and Bhopal handling the Northern, Southern, Eastern and
Western regions respectively. The councils are responsible for recognising 'teacher training
institutions'. It is reported that as on 1 January 2007, "7461 teacher training institutions offering 9045
courses have been recognised by NCTE with an approved intake of 7.72 lakh teacher trainees."[8]
Right to Education[edit]
The Ministry of Human Resource Department (HRD), Deptt. of Social Education and Literacy has
authorized National Council of Educational Research & Training to lay down the curriculum and
evaluation procedure for elementary education and to develop framework of national curriculum under
clause a of Sub-Section 6 of Section 7 of the Act vide its Gazette Notification[9]
