"The centre has issued notification for setting up eight new IITs in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Punjab and Rajasthan in the 11th Plan. Admission to six of them, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Orissa, Punjab and Rajasthan, for the academic year 2008-09 are likely to be made through JEE 2008.
This year a new JEE centre has been opened outside India in Dubai to provide opportunity for aspirants abroad," Prof Dr S. Sankararaman, chairman, JEE 2007, IIT-Chennai, told this newspaper. "All existing IITs, IT-BHU Varanasi and ISMU Dhanbad also conduct a one-year preparatory course for SC/ST students, who do not make it to the common or reserved category merit lists. This year, 395 SC candidates and 409 ST candidates have qualified for the preparatory course. Their counselling will be held on July 7 at IITs, IT-BHU and ISMU."
An extended merit list, category-wise, had been drawn to facilitate admissions to other central institutions and the same was displayed on the web site. "Students on the list may be counselled by the Indian Institute of Space-Science Technology, Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research and Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology.
