Kickstarting thee entrance exammatlOn season with the toughest of all engineering entrance examinations, the IIT-JEE 2008 (Joint Entrance Examination for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology) went off with no unexpected twists in the tale, except for a small variation in mark distribution in the second paper and a relatively tougher and lengthier mathematics paper.
No surprise :
The students had no surprise element to complain about.Following the recent Supreme Court decision to implement 27 per cent quota for Other Backward Classes, all existing IITs will carry out the reservation in three phases, implementing nine per cent reservation this year, while the three new institutes in Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan will implement 27 per cent at onego. IIT -JEE patterns are closely monitored both by students and the coaching institutes. The Hindu EducationPlus spoke to experts and students to form an analysis of the paper for the benefit of students who have already appeared for the exam as well as those who are preparing for future JEEs.
Lengthy paper :
Aditya Kumar, who took a year off to write the entrance test this year, said: "The paper was too lengthy to solve and even the chemistry paper seemed a little tougher than usual." His friend Harish agreed and said that the Mathematics section was tougher and some of the problems were too long for the objective format.
Matrix match:
Another variation in the matrix match section will come as good news to students. Previously students stood to lose all six marks even if the answer was partially right; in JEE-2008, students can get one mark if they get the answers correct in one row.
percentage of marks:
Straight Objective Type - 28%
Multiple correct MCQS - 10%
Assertion Reasoning – 15%
Linked Comprehension Type – 36%
Matrix-Matrix Type – 11%
