Transparency can do so many a things. This is one of its example. As a reply to the RTI enquiry this article was published in the news paper and i have one word for it: "SHOCKING".

I think one needs to read this article to know how your seats in IITs are played with.Although many  of you might have read it earlier but i read it today in TOI and would like to bring this information to every IIT aspirant.



     

Some important extract:

  1)  The last admitted candidate with an All India Rank (AIR) of 6,773 scored a respectable percentage in all the three subjects. In contrast, a candidate with just 6% in maths got an AIR of 5,308. This allowed him to join either IIT-Kharagpur or Roorkee. 



2)   The candidate who scored just 5% in physics got an AIR of 4,999.He could join IIT-Kharagpur,Guwahati or Roorkee but missed Kanpur by three marks and Bombay by six marks. 



3)   The candidate who scored 9% in chemistry got an AIR of 2,903, thereby opening the doors for all the IITs. He just needed to pick his choice.
