Kapil Sibal takes up IIT Madras director on JEE errors

HRD minister Kapil Sibal is believed to have pulled up MS Ananth, director of IIT Madras, for the mistakes in the recent Joint Entrance Examination taken by 4.45 lakh students.

Sources said Sibal asked Ananth, who met him on Monday, as to how such mistakes took place in a prestigious entrance examination for IITs and other premier engineering institutions. Sibal is believed to have asked IIT directors to ensure students do not suffer.

Ananth, who was accompanied by Gautam Barua, director, IIT of Guwahati, told Sibal that a statement would be put on IIT-JEE website on May 2 explaining steps that have been taken to deal with the mistakes. "Re-examination has been ruled out since no question was not leaked," a senior official said.
