Why JEE seats remain unfilled in Northeast India: Challenges and solutions for increased participation
The HinduKamal had cleared JEE and remembers the moment he changed his decision regarding joining NIT Mizoram. When asked about the state quota and its counseling process, she hesitantly admitted, “I think I will have to change my career in the end if I don’t get a good seat.” Experts weigh in “Assam likely has better infrastructure, which is why we’ve seen more students from there attempting JEE. “If students are not given the necessary exposure, if the school curriculum lacks room for experiments and scientific development, they won’t reach the intellectual level needed for JEE,” she explained. Additionally, Ms. Singh highlighted how financial difficulties prevent students from traveling outside their state for coaching and studies, reinforcing the need for better educational infrastructure within the region. To bridge this gap, we are conducting awareness programs to inform students about JEE registration, counselling processes, and the benefits of home state quotas,” he stated.
