Introduction

The Programme of Action (PoA) under the National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986 envisaged conduct of a common entrance examination on all India basis for admission to professional and technical programmes in the country. For admission to engineering, pharmacy and architecture/planning programmes. Government of India vide Resolution dated 18th October 2001 has laid down a Three – Exam Scheme (JEE and AIEEE at the National Level and the State Level Engineering Entrance Examinations (SLEEE) for State Level Institutions – with an option to join AIEEE). This takes care of varying admission standards in these programmes and helps in maintenance of professional standards. This also solves problems of overlaps and reduces physical, mental and financial burden on students and their parents due to multiplicity for entrance examinations.

Accordingly, first All India Engineering Pharmacy and Architecture Entrance Examination (AIEEE) was held on 19th May 2002. 190045 out of 211696 students registered at 396 centres in 65 cities appeared for the Examination. 7116 seats in 102 institutions (including 11 deemed universities) were offered through this examination. AlA centralized counseling had been organized for filling up the All India seats.

To further streamline admissions though AIEEE based on the recommendations of a Committee under the chairmanship of Chairman, University Grants Commission (UGC), several steps have been taken up this year. Eligibility criteria has been reviewed. Keeping in view greater variety of subjects offered by different School Boards at the 10+2 level, more subject combinations in qualifying examination (10+2) would new be possible. For the convenience of candidates, provision for on- line submission of application form has also been made this year.
