Overview
- The August 25, 2025 IIT Council minutes, released this week, recommend studying an ability-based format that tailors question difficulty to each candidate.
- The Council called for an expert committee led by the JEE Apex Board and IIT Kanpur to examine feasibility, coaching impact, logistics, and security.
- A free, optional adaptive mock two months before the exam and a robust dynamic question generator were proposed to gather comparative performance data.
- Officials say no committee has been constituted and no approval has been granted for JEE (Advanced) 2026, which is scheduled for May 17.
- Separately, the Council urged creating sanctioned mental‑health posts across IITs and asked IIT Gandhinagar to propose a staffing structure for the next meeting.
