Fellow Alumnus,
The Ministry of HRD has proposed the merger of the IIT-JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) and AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Examination). This proposal intends to alter a system that has been the backbone and a shining example of opportunity and fairness in the Indian education system. In light of such far reaching and irreversible consequences of this proposal the alumni of all IITs believe it was necessary to critically examine the reasons set forth by the HRD ministry.
Please find attached a report prepared by the alumni of IIT which critically examines the reasons put forth by the HRD ministry to abolish JEE in its present form and merge it with AIEEE. The report argues an opposing viewpoint and builds the case for the necessity of Joint Entrance Examination for IITs. In case you agree with the report and feel that JEE should not be abolished, please sign on this petition. This endorsed document would be presented to the IIT Council.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many fellow alumni have stepped up to defend the importance of our entrance system. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I never imagined the conversation would reach this many people.

Keep JEE separate. AIEEE is nowhere near the same level of difficulty. This merger is a huge mistake for our education system.
Total disaster if they go through with this. Everyone knows JEE is superior. Keep it separate.
The rigor of the JEE is what makes an IIT degree worth something across the world. Stop messing with our future!
The JEE is the only thing that actually tests merit. Don't ruin the standards by merging it with a lesser exam.
bad idea. let the IITs keep their autonomy.
