Record 4.5 lakh to take JEE-2010
The race to get a seat in the elite IITs just got tougher
this year. Close to 4.5 lakh candidates have applied to
appear for this year’s joint entrance exam (JEE),
up from the 3.85 lakh who took the test last year. According
to data from IIT Madras, the nodal IIT that will coordinate
JEE-2010, these candidates will take the entrance exam
across seven zones in the country on April 11. They will
vie for 7,417 seats spread across 15 IITs. The average
number of students vying for a seat stands at 61, as against
Harvard and MIT, where only eight students on an average
apply for one seat. TNN
