Brief report of Joint Entrance Examination – 2007
Professor S. N. Mahendra
Chairman IT-BHU JEE -2007
Introduction
We all know the purpose of education.
It is, in principle, value addition in the human being.
I earnestly hope that the candidates selected, their parents and our Institute will have this aspect for the next four or five years, so that when the new entrants move out of the portals of this University we all feel that their value has been enhanced. Let us all work for it.
During discussion with our alumni (graduated about 5 to 50 years back) it came out that ‘In IT-BHU the value-addition is in the form of a life-time Education with a human touch and this is special and very different from any other institution’.
I will now present a brief report of Joint Entrance Examination – 2007
Objectives of JEE Operation in IT-BHU are as follows:
- Smooth conduct of Joint Entrance Examination in BHU.
- Counseling of JEE qualified candidates.
- Admission of Candidates at IT-BHU.
- Joint Entrance Examination
- Joint Entrance Examination was held on 8th April 2007 as per guidelines of JEE. There were 14 Examination Centers. Team behind the complete operation consisted of 14 Presiding Officers, 21 Deputy Presiding Officers, 14 Observers from IIT-Roorkee, 28 Observers from IT-BHU, about 320 Invigilators and a large number of Administrative and Supporting Staff. Efficient control and execution was done by the Vice-Chairman, JEE, Coordinating Presiding Officer, Secretary, JEE and Academic Section of IT-Directorate. The Chief Proctor, Banaras Hindu University and his team effectively ensured security. The examination was held smoothly without any untoward incident. IIT-Roorkee team was satisfied with the entire operation of JEE-2007 Examination at BHU.
- This year the number of JEE candidates appearing in BHU was about 4800. To accommodate so many candidates 14 centres were created in BHU.
- This year the candidates’ performance in physics, chemistry and mathematics was judged in two sessions (instead of three as was done in 2006). Each session had questions in all the three subjects but the approach for examining the capability of candidates was different in each case.
- As in previous years this year also the whole JEE operation was quite challenging and big. With the grace of God, the entire JEE operation was carried out satisfactorily due to a very good and overwhelming cooperation from all the teachers of the University, who acted as Presiding Officers, Deputy Presiding Officers, Observers and Invigilators during the examination. Everyone worked very hard to maintain the prestige of JEE. I take this opportunity to thank one & all for the cooperation, in particular the Academic Section and the JEE office of the IT-Directorate.
- Thanks are also due to the Airport Authority, Babatpur Airport, Varanasi and the Indian Railways in Varanasi - the Station Manager and Assistant Station Master, Varanasi Cantt. Station. It was because of their immense cooperation that the boxes carrying examination materials from Roorkee were easily unloaded and loaded at Varanasi Airport and Varanasi Station respectively. Thanks are also due to the Chief Engineer, Eastern Zone, UP Electricity Board, for ensuring uninterrupted power supply during the examination period.
- Counseling & Seat-Allocation
During counseling there is an interaction of the Counselors with the aspiring candidates and their guardians. The counselors act as an effective interface between the candidates and the Institutes to help the candidates in making their choices. Depending upon the interest of the candidates and the image of the institutes, the qualified candidates fill-up their choices of the branch and the Institute.
You may be interested to know few significant details of JEE Operation related to counseling & Seat-Allocation.
The Qualified candidates get Counseling Brochure for JEE which contains information regarding various branches of engineering available in the participating Institutes, the courses offered by different Institute together with the number of seats available and opening and closing ranks of the candidates who had opted to study in different Institutes in the respective branch of engineering in the previous year.
From the choice-sheets, depending upon AIR of candidate, his choices and availability of seats the candidate is allotted a particular seat in a particular Institute.

- I will give a glimpse of IT-BHU 2007 Admission Statistics
Total of 562 students have been selected for admission in IT-BHU that includes 40 girls. The breakup of the selected students is as follows:
General Category: 531
SC Category: 31
ST Category: NilIn addition 124 (72 SC + 52 ST) candidates have been selected for Preparatory Course in IT-BHU.
- Concluding Remarks
Immediately after the seat allocation, the information was put on the Institute websites. The offer letter from IT-BHU was sent to the respective candidates along with a letter from our Director giving necessary information and actions required from the candidates for admission to IT-BHU. Welcome Brochure was put on the website to introduce IT-BHU to the selected candidates and their parents.
I, once again, take this opportunity to express my personal thanks to my Vice-Chairman, Prof. P.K. Jain, Coordinating Presiding Officer, Prof. A.K. Ghose, Secretary, JEE, Dr. S.N. Singh, Assistant Registrar (Academic) with his team for the tremendous amount of support and cooperation.
Since Varanasi fascinates me very much, I will conclude my report by placing before you few observations related to Varanasi which have been made by eminent persons.
First one is from Mr. Shyam Benegal, the famous film director:
‘Varanasi is a photogenic city.
Like Aishwarya Rai – shoot her from any angle and it gives a perfect shot.’
Second one is form Ms. Abha Narain Lambah, Conservationist, (which appeared in India Today 30th Anniversary Issue, July 03, 2006).
“My favourite destination would be Varanasi.
On the first visit, the over-riding emotion would probably be shock – at the sensory overload and the chaos.
On your second visit, prepare to be astounded by its architectural grandeur.
On the third, the cultural nuances (i.e. delicate shades of differences) become obvious.
On the fourth, you can just sit by the Ganga and soak in the sights and sounds.
Thanking you.
Chairman, JEE-2007
