AIEEE

The first AIEEE was held in 2003. It was the Government that asked the CBSE to formulate an examination of an All-India character to cater to the NITs and other institutions based on a Supreme Court verdict.The AIEEE brought in a common engineering entrance test for the NITs (earlier called Regional Engineering Colleges) and other institutions. The admission to 18 NITs are on the basis of the rank obtained in AIEEE 2007. Also the admissions to some of the deemed universities will be carried out on the basis of the rank obtained in AIEEE 2007. Students seeking admissions to NITs need not apply to individual NITs but should appear for AIEEE 2007 conducted by the CBSE.
