Welcome to Board of Professional Entrance Examinations
Chairman's Message
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.
