IIT Bombay Gave an Affirmation to the New Common Entrance Examination

IIT Bombay gave a green signal to the common entrance exams for admissions to the under graduate programs starting 2013 on 25 July 2012.

The group approved the IIT council's resolution regarding admission to the IITs based on rank achieved in advance test , but on subject to condition that selected candidates must be in the top twenty percentile of successful list of their boards.
The other change that IIT Bombay has decided to adhere to is, instead of allowing one point fifty lakh students to sit in the advance test, they have sought to restrict the figure to about fifty thousand students.

IIT Kanpur is also expected to meet later in the last week of July 2012 to examine the IIT council resolution.Apart from Kanpur, the resolution is to be discussed and decided by other IITs too before the Joint Admission Board (JAB) gives a final seal of approval to the format.
