It's going to be a hectic week for engineering and medical aspirants as a series of competitive exams have been lined up for the coming week. On May 11 is the rescheduled AIEEE 2011, May 12 is the MHT-CET 2011 (for the state engineering exam), while online entrance exams for Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences (BITS 2011) will be held between May 11 and June 10. Other than that, medical aspirants have the big ticket AIPMT 2011(finals) on May 15, followed by the private medical colleges exam ASSO-CET 2011 on May 17.

May started on an almost disastrous note for competitive exams with the AIEEE question paper getting leaked. The exam went ahead, though delayed by three hours, with the help of a second set of question papers. Some students could not take the rescheduled AIEEE 2011 the same day, due to the timings clashing with the AFMC 2011 exam, and were given a date of May 8 to reappear. But the competitive exam calendar forced the AIEEE 2011 date to be rescheduled, yet again, to May 11, since other state-level exams are being held on May 8.

Students now find their calendar fully packed with a series of exams almost back to back. Nisha Kothari, director of IIT Home, said, "This is a stressful time for my students. I have five students who are going to appear for AIEEE,MHT-CET 2011 and BITS 2011 exams, three days in a row! This is an inconvenience to them as there is no rest period in between. The rescheduled exam date also breaks the concentration of students."

While students nowadays are prepared for the series of exams, what is catching them off-guard is the back-to-back tests. Ravi Ahluwalia, city-based student, says, "For me it is all right since I live in Nagpur. But I know people who have to shuttle between their hometown and the city where they have their centre. I am appearing for MHT-CET 2011 as well as the ASSO-CET 2011. I failed to clear the AIPMT 2011 (prelims) so there is all the more pressure on me to clear the remaining options. I rue the fact that there is not enough gap between the papers."

Chandrakant Satija, regional director of Aakash Institute, said, "These back-to-back exams are physically, mentally and emotionally very tiring for students. For parents who are not for Nagpur, it is also an additional financial burden as they have to put up their child at a hotel here or arrange for travel back and forth."
