AFMS or AIEEE what to choose?

A large number of students across the country appear in the All India Engineering Entrance Examination 2011 and Armed Forces Medical Colleges. This year a large number of students would surely miss one exam. This year both the exams will be held on the same day, which are scheduled on 1st May, 2011. While AIEEE will be conducted between 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM, and AFMCwill begin from 9:30 AM and end at 11:30 AM on 1st May, 2011.

The candidates are in lurch and unable to decide what to choose, as both the exams are important for them. A student, Manoj Kumar said: “I have not been able to concentrate on either of them. Every year, the AIEEE was conducted during the last week of April. The sudden change is giving students, who wish to appear in both the examinations, a tough time. I hope that the authorities listen to us and come up with some solution.” Manoj passed his senior secondary examination last year and having both mathematics and biology as his subjects. He, therefore, wants to play safe and applied for both engineering and medical examinations.
Even the parents are equally worried about the clash of dates. Subedar Major TR Singh, father of Manoj, said, “It’s a question of future of the students. My child has been depressed over quite some time pondering as to what he should do. I request the higher authorities to look into the matter and help the students.”

This clash of exam date will affect a large number of students this year. Many students will miss one exam as both the exams are scheduled on the same day. Students are in tizzy state of mind as both the exams are important for them and this year they are going to miss one due to the lack of coordination among the examination bodies. A similar kind of problem has occurred earlier too; parents and aspiring candidates raised their voice to change the timing of the examination. After this issue the examination bodies decided to change the timing of the exam which gives them big. So the same kind of things can be done this year too to give relief to students and their parents
