See AIEEE answer keys on CBSE website
By Madiha Jawed
After much reluctance, Central Board of Secondary Education, under the order of CIC (Central Information Commission) has finally revealed the answer keys of the AIEEE, 2010 and 2011. However, they haven't yet disclosed the question papers, which would have been of great use for students to score well in their examinations.
AIEEE, India's largest multi-choice question paper for admission into various engineering colleges across the country, is conducted by CBSE. But, the board has failed to uncover the answer sheets or information to help students know more about this much talked about examination.
The CIC on September 30, 2011 asked the board to provide the answer keys in accordance with the order of the Commission and the court in this respect. This further came into light when RTI applicant Rajiv Kumar's demand for answer keys along with question papers was dropped after CBSE alleged that court cases are still on the go. (Read More)
In November this year, the board handed over the answer keys to the Kumar, an applicant of IIT Kharagpur. However, the CBSE's another faction that conducts All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) provided the answer keys without charging a penny. Not only this, other examination bodies like Indian Institute of Technology, Indian Institutes of Management and state education boards too have started unveiling answer keys together with question papers.
"The CBSE is now providing answer keys which would be of no use to students who appeared in AIEEE. They (answer keys) should be disclosed on the day of examination so that the students could find out how they have fared," Kumar was quoted saying.
On the contrary, CBSE has alluded to huge data base as a reason for not being able to make the answer sheets available on its website. Hereafter, the board would certainly be disclosing the answer keys with question papers on AIEEE website.
