Should IIIT, Allahabad start taking students again through the JEE Advanced, just as they did during the early years of the institute?

Well, the answer is definitely.

Firstly, it should always be remembered that all the normalisation progression of JEE Mains and boards mark is very out of order. The thing is that every percent that the student scored in their board exam is worth a huge rank difference of 2334. However, the calculation is done as per the unwarranted normalisation formula. Besides, IIIT Hyderabad is a private institute, and it considers JEE main scores with a definite cut-off mark in the previous board examination.

Additionally, IIIT Allahabad considers its admission process in two ways. One is JEE Main scores with a definite percentage in the previous board exams or only JEE Advanced scores. Regarding this, the first option is quite impractical as IIITA is a Central Government affiliated institute; thus, it implements only the second options; that is, the scores of JEE Advanced.

Another important thing is that IIITA is almost similar to IITs and then to the NITs because, in this institute, there is no state quota. Besides, the remuneration of the Professors of this institute is almost similar to IITs. It represents that this institute admits students considering the JEE Advanced scores. But, the student should keep in mind that it is not so important how they get admission to IIITA; the thing is how they will perform in this institute in their entire course tenure.
