To Hell With IIT JEE!

Go read about what happens in the land of Dork.

 Because the probability of success in the ET is so low (just 1% on first attempt), almost all ET candidates also take exams for the ATIs. Again, probabilities of success in those exams are not different across X and Y types, except Y candidates who succeed in those exams are often the ones who feel it worthwhile to try for the ET a second time (after all, clearing an ATI exam is a positive signal). By contrast, X candidates who don’t clear ET but do clear an ATI are almost certain to join an ATI. As a result, the proportion of X candidates in ATIs is much higher than those in the IITs, despite the fact that 50% of the eligible X population chooses not to apply for any Alien exams at all.

Such clarity of thought. Wows!
