Common Entrance Test is currently the most effective and commonly resorted to mechanism for selecting candidates for admission to professional courses. The Apex Court has aptly underlined the utility and indispensability of Common Entrance Tests for purposes of admission to professional courses. An entrance examination tests the knowledge of the candidates in a particular field. It also tests their problem solving and time managing abilities as well as their competitive skills and qualities . Over and above, Entrance Test ensures uniformity of admission procedure, merit –based selection of candidates, and transparency in admission process . In a nutshell, common entrance examination is a reliable and an efficient method of selection of candidates for undergoing professional courses which is followed across the country.
Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations, earlier Competent Authority Entrance Examinations, is entrusted with the task of conducting entrance examinations for granting admission to various undergraduate and postgraduate professional courses in the State. The Board has been executing this task fairly and efficiently since its inception.
The Board has been set up by a legislative enactment – Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations Act, 2002 . The objective of establishing the Board by a legislative measure is to accord functional autonomy to it and to free it from external interference and extraneous considerations in respect of making selection of candidates for admission purpose.
In recent times, fast emerging new technologies have impacted all fields of human activity. Public and private institutions and organizations across the world are continuously improving upon their working by making use of new technologies and innovations. The Board can thus bring about more efficiency and speed in organizing Entrance Examinations and in carrying out subsequent admission process by adopting new technologies and facilities. Hence, it is an opportune time for the Board to host its own website. By launching its website, student community-aspirants for various entrance examinations- will be especially benefited. They can easily access information concerning entrance examination related matters on internet at places convenient to them. The website will also facilitate and increase the interaction and communication between the functionaries of the Board and the students . More importantly, website of the Board shall make its functioning and activities more transparent and open to public scrutiny. We would welcome any suggestions and comments from the students, their parents and members of the general public in respect of format and content of the website for widening its scope and reach.
