AICTE allows B.Tech admission without OJEE, JEE- Student Responses

by Shubhi Sharma Digital Markting

All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has allowed students to get B.Tech admission without OJEE or JEE Main scores.


NEW DELHI: Mixed responses have been seen from the students after the decision of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to allow students who have not appeared for the OJEE or JEE to take B.Tech admission on the basis of entry-level qualification and prescribed eligibility criteria.


Some students have welcomed the decision calling it a chance for those who failed to appear for the exams due to pandemic. While some students believe that this is unfair and will down the standard of the course.


A student Soumya Ranjan Das while speaking to Odishatv said that  “This decision will help students, who couldn’t appear in the exams, get admission without wasting a year. It will also minimize the vacancies in engineering colleges.”


Another student Arvind Sethi said that “This decision will only help private colleges. It’s an unfavourable decision for us.”


On the other hand, educationalists say that proper modalities should be fixed for the admission of students after completion of the OJEE counselling. They also consider that repeated revision in the admission process is not a good sign.


As per the eligibility criteria of OJEE, students need to have passed Class 12th with Physics, Maths and Chemistry as their subjects. If a student has at least 45 per cent marks in these subjects, they are eligible for admission in engineering colleges.


Before this, the State government declined to extend the benefits as per the AICTE  circular and the Odisha Private Engineering Colleges Association (OPECA) had filed a writ petition in the Orissa High Court in this regard and the Skill Development and Technical Development Department was made a party in the petition.


After this, the HC directed the State government ‘not to create any unnecessary obstacle/ hurdle in allowing the petitioner’s institution to take admission of the students in B.Tech (Engineering) course for the current academic session’ 2020-2021.
