Common IIT test: Sibal rejects criticism, rules out rollback

Rejecting criticism and virtually ruling out going back on the new proposal, the Union human resources development minister Kapil Sibal has said the government has no intent to impinge on the autonomy of the Indian Institutes of Technologies (IITs).

Defending the decision to have one nationwide common entrance test, which is being opposed by IIT Kanpur among others, Sibal said this has been taken in accordance with the IIT Act passed by the Indian Parliament.
