The All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE) scheduled for April 29, 2012 will be conducted entirely online.
After the CAT, which is used for admissions to MBA courses, AIEEE is the second major national entrance exam to go completely online.
The online mode was an option this year, but the majority of students opted for the pen and paper mode. Only about 5,000 of the 11.5 lakh students opted for the online test.
In spite of low response to online mode, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), which conducts AIEEE, has decided to take the test online to prevent question paper leaks. This year a large number of students had to take the exam again because of the test questions leak.
Every year about 28,000 B.Tech seats and 1,000 Bachelor of Architecture seats are filled through the AIEEE.
