All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) is a common entrance examination on all India basis for admission to professional and technical programs in the country. For admission to Engineering and Architecture/Planning programs , there is a three- exam scheme (JEE and AIEEE at the National Level and the State Level Engineering Entrance Examinations (SLEEE) for State Level Institutions with an option to join AIEEE). This takes care of varying admission standards in these programs and helps in maintenance of professional standards. This also solves problems of overlaps and reduces physical, mental and financial burden on students and their parents due to multiplicity of entrance examinations.
