The All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE), was an examination organized by the
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India. Introduced in the year 2002, this national level

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).

Structure
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.

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.
[4][5]
Counselling
The Central Counselling Board coordinates the
admissions to the under-graduate courses in the
participating institutes. Only small percentage of
students taking the test are eligible for central
counselling or state-specific or category-specific
counselling on basis of their AIR. Counseling for
SC/ST candidates and SC/ST physically handicapped
candidates is done on the first two days.
[citation needed]
Then the physically
handicapped in the Open (OP) category are counselled.
[citation needed]
As declared by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), 50%
of the seats in NITs will be filled from AIEEE (http://recruitment2013.ind.in/)
eligible candidates of states where NITs are located and the remaining 50% will
be filled on All India Merit basis. Whereas for IIIT's all of the seats are being
filled through All India Merit Basis.
