AIEEE Exam On May 11

The decision to delay the re-test was taken after the CBSE received scores of petitions from parents and students complaining of a clash with other competitive examinations on May 8, Board chairman Vineet Joshi said.

These include the Karnataka common entrance test COMEDK for engineering, medical and dental colleges.

“May 11 is a working day, but we have no choice given the clash with other examinations,” Joshi said, assuring that the May 11 question paper will be of the same standard than the test taken by most students on May 1.

The board is also worried that some candidates who gained insight into the standard and types of questions by taking the AIEEE on May 1 may take the May 11 test instead of genuine candidates – to boost scores for a fee.

The CBSE is putting in place additional security measures.

The CBSE has also constituted a panel of experts consisting of its controller of examinations MC Sharma, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur professor Falguni Gupta and former Delhi University controller of examinations BS Garg to probe the leak.
