Per WP:CRYSTAL. Nothing official at all about this. Any needed material could be added to the IIT-JEE article till there is reasonable media coverage. There has been some media coverage, but most of it is about proposals, and nothing concrete is there, least of all a name for the test. Lynch 7 18:59, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. After this meeting, I don't think that the so called "ISEET" is happening soon. Lynch 7 14:15, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Strong Keep The article topic is highly notable in India and has considerable widespread media coverage, with more than 1 million Indian students (who now give IIT-JEE and AIEEE)supposed to appear in this exam when it starts. The Government has already declared it. Although there are some disagreement and protest against it. Although the author has not done a good job so far but article needs to stay and needs expansion-- Ðℬig XЯaɣ 07:28, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"When it starts" is the key here. Really, all this rhetoric about how many students are writing it is unnecessary. Once it is officially declared, then it makes sense to have an article on it; otherwise it'd just be crystal ball gazing. Lynch 7 06:18, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This clearly is not wp:CRYSTAL as its not an unverifiable speculation ) the subject of the topic has disturbed a hornets nest, and it has been a topic of extensive debate and discussion in both print and live media. As far as the "Indian Education" subject is concerned this topic is highly notable (specially for Indian readers.) Thats all i would say. regards -- Ðℬig XЯaɣ 08:50, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with option to recreate if the plan to institute this becomes reality. Tom Reedy (talk) 03:44, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, or rename to something like Indian Science Engineering Eligibility Test controversy, since that topic is what appears to be notable. 66.159.220.134 (talk) 18:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly Keep This might be the future for admission into IITs n NITs. Even if it is delayed, this article contains info that is an important chapter in the history of admissions into India's elite institutes of science & technology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anir1uph (talk • contribs) 16:51, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but edit to indicate the controversy. It will almost certainly remain notable even if the test is abandoned. DGG ( talk ) 04:14, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
