IIT JEE 2008 Results Announced
Yes, its old news, you all have read about it in newspapers, all institutes are claiming that the top rankers are products of their potholes, and Bihari people are feeling proud because the topper was from their state.
But I would like to draw attention to some facts that you people don’t know and are highly unlikely to find in newspapers.
I got a rank of 6512 when I hadn’t expected to get even in the extended merit list. My score was around 160 and the cut-off was to be around 190-200.
The first four letters from the name of the guy who got All India Rank #1 spell ‘Shit’. I would say that is suggestive of something but you may think otherwise.
Around 7800 people have been given ranks through the IIT JEE, but there are only 4482 seats for the general category which includes not only B. Tech. courses but also B. Pharm., B. Des., B. Arch., M. Pharm. Dual Degree, M. Sc. Integrated Course, M. Sc. Tech. Integrated Course, M. Tech. Integrated Course, M. Tech. Dual Degree Course. All these wrap up in mostly ranks under 5000.
We have 6 new IITs, but their total contribution to the general category is just 360 seats.
The counselling dates for SCs, STs and OBCs is BEFORE the counselling dates for general category. It is clear whom they want first. This after the fact that SCs, STs, OBCs are consistently failing and being expelled after the first semester at IIT.
