To estimate the number of students appearing for the IIT JEE entrance exam each year in India, we can follow these steps:
The IIT JEE entrance exam (Joint Entrance Examination) is conducted for admissions into the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other top engineering colleges in India. There are two stages of this exam - JEE Main and JEE Advanced. All students take the JEE Main exam, and only the top performers qualify for the JEE Advanced exam.
The IIT JEE entrance exam is taken by students who have completed their 12th grade (or equivalent). Let's estimate the number of students in this age group (around 17-18 years old) in India.
India's population is around 1.3 billion. Assuming a uniform age distribution and a life expectancy of 70 years, we can estimate the number of people in each year of age:
1,300,000,000 / 70 ≈ 18,571,429 people per year of age
Not all students in India complete their 12th-grade education. Let's assume that 60% of the students complete their 12th grade.
18,571,429 * 0.60 ≈ 11,142,857 students completing 12th grade each year
Not all students who complete their 12th grade would be interested in pursuing engineering. Let's assume that 40% of the students who complete their 12th grade are interested in engineering.
11,142,857 * 0.40 ≈ 4,457,143 students interested in engineering
Not all students interested in engineering will appear for the IIT JEE entrance exam, as some may opt for other entrance exams or colleges. Let's assume that 50% of the students interested in engineering appear for the IIT JEE entrance exam.
4,457,143 * 0.50 ≈ 2,228,571 students appearing for the IIT JEE entrance exam
Based on these assumptions and estimates, approximately 2.23 million students appear for the IIT JEE entrance exam each year in India. This is a rough estimate and can vary based on changes in the assumptions.
