AIEEE expected to be announced in a week

New Delhi: A request to the Supreme Court to hold a fresh All India
Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) and have allowed the Central
Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to go ahead with the announcement
of the results.

The AIEEE Results 2011 are expected to be announced within a week.

The results will be available on:

The decision for not conducting the AIEEE afresh was taken by a
Supreme Court bench comprising of Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice
C.K. Prasad.

The petitions seeking a stay on the result and requesting the AIEEE to
be conducted again was filed by some students and a retired professor
from National Institute of Technology - Jamshedpur, A.P. Sinha.

The group of AIEEE candidates who had filed the petition had appeared
for the examination on May 1 after the paper had been delayed by three
hours as the question paper had been leaked.

They had asked the apex court to cancel both the exams that were
conducted on May 1 as well as May 11, alleging that students had been
compelled to give the examinations under circumstances that violated
their fundamental rights.

On May 1, after the question paper leak had been reported, the paper
was delayed by three hours. Several students had been unable to take
the test because of this and a fresh examination had been rescheduled
for them on May 11.

According to the petitioners, the two AIEEE examinations that were
held were conducted under two very different conditions, describing
once as adverse and the other as disadvantageous.

They described the situation in which the paper on May 1 was conducted
as chaotic and in which 97% of total candidates appeared while the
rest were made to appear on May 11. They alleged that the situation
gave undue advantage to students who appeared for the test on May 11.

The students further argued that a large number of students had not
been able to appear in the reschedule examination and it was unfair to
create a single merit list based on two separate examinations.

The apex court refuted all arguments by the petitioners and stated
that around 10 lakh students had appeared for the test this year.
