Chairman, CSAB 2013 has published a message seeking apology for the mix-up and mistake(s) In JEE Main 2013 Round 1 allotment which was announced yesterday. CSAB Chairman 2013 Sunil Kr Sarangi says the goof-up happened because of a computer glitch, which “happened because of usage of Orissa instead of Odisha”.
The mismatch led to wrong allotment which ran across for all the institutes and branches. The home state allocation was also affected because of the same since 50% of the seats in an NIT are reserved for the home state candidates.
Also, there were mistakes for the students involving Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand students and involving dual (architecture and engineering) seat allocation.
Many students got affected because of these mix-ups and students who were allotted a seat yesterday are out of the list today, or the college and branch which was allotted to a student today is now changed.
There are some students who had no allotment yesterday but got seats allotted to them today.
The Chairman states that the flaws are now corrected and correct seat allocation is available on the website. You can check your allocation here.
It’s appreciable the Chairman and CSAB team has apologized for the blunder but it clearly shows the administrative failure of CSAB. It must not be taken on lighter note and ignored because it involves career and future of many students. Now who can be sure the new allotments are goof-up free?
LATEST: Careers360 has written an Open Letter to Chairman CSAB 2013. We have pointed out all the questions that students are asking the CSAB Body conducting GFTI/CFTI admissions for 2013.
JEE Main is India’s pioneer engineering entrance exam for admission in premier colleges like NITs, CFTIs etc. and screening round to appear for JEE Advance which is the key for admissions in most reputed ones, the IITs.
In time when the whole admission process is under red scanner for some or the other reason, let it be normalization procedure followed by the CBSE or delays in result announcement, students and parents are protesting against the admission process adopted this year, petitions are filed in High Courts of India and even apex court, Supreme Court of India, such blunder puts a question mark that how administratively efficient the whole process is?
Supreme Court of India has also mentioned in the hearing today that the admissions to the NITs will be subjected to the final verdict of the Apex Court.
