IIT Kanpur to conduct its own entrance test from 2013 |IIT Kanpur on warpath with Centre over common entrance examination

(IIT), Kanpur, will conduct its own entrance test from next year. This was decided at a meeting of the institute's 210-member senate today.
The senate rejected Union Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal's 'one nation, one test' proposal.The Senate resolves that IIT Kanpur will conduct the entrance examination for admissions to its undergraduate programmes in 2013," it said.

The decision came days after government rejected criticism of the decision to have a common IIT-JEE examination from next year."The examination announced by the HRD Ministry is a unilateral decision of IIT Council against the advice and decisions of IIT-Kanpur Senate, which has the prerogative of deciding its admission criteria," it said in a statement.

The All India Faculty Federation of India has written to the Prime Minister's Office, asking for Dr Manmohan Singh's intervention. Members of the federation are scheduled to meet Dr Singh on Tuesday. The Senate of IIT Kanpur said that the recent IIT Council proposal on admissions to IITs is "academically and methodically unsound and in violation of the Institutes of Technology Act (1961) and IIT Kanpur Ordinances (Ordinance 3.2 (Admissions)".
