The idea of including Board Exams is not a bad idea. However, the means in which it is incorporated needs to be considered. The weigtage should not have a part in direct admission to IIT. In its current form, it is used as a cutoff test; it is a good idea. however, the weigthage of 50% is still too high. Probably 25% is a more reasonable number. The wightage should be so as to encourage a complete education among IIT aspirants. However, the weightage should not be so high that you remove the deserving students during the cut off itself. It should eliminate people who have no apetite for a complete education. If some students who are good in math, physics and chemistry and suck at english and other languages they need to make sure they study them too. I dont think it is a bad thing. Again, the weigthage should ensure that people with low marks in math, physics and chemistry dont get an advantage just because they do well in langauges; because these students dont stand a chance in the Main JEE paper and are wasting the spots for deserving candidates. Thats my 2 cents!
