New Delhi/Patna, Oct 20 (PTI) HRD Minister Kapil Sibal today said there was no no proposal to allow only those who obtain 80 per cent marks in their Class 12 examinations to sit in the entrance exam for admissions to IITs as leaders from Bihar opposed any such move.

Making a statement, he described as "baseless" media reports suggesting that there is a proposal to allow only those who obtain 80 per cent marks in their Class 12 examination to sit for Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is baseless.

"The government of India has no role to play and any report which suggests that there is a proposal to allow only those who obtain 80 per cent marks in their class 12 examination to sit for JEE is baseless.

"The only decision that has been taken by the IIT Council is that the IITs will submit a report in January, 2010 to rationalise JEE.
