A physically challenged student being given special facility to write IIT-JEE exam at Chennai.
IIT aspirants who took the
revised Joint Entrance Examination (JEE-Advanced) on Sunday felt Physics
in Paper-2 much difficult than Paper-1. About 2,900 students from Tamil
Nadu took the test at eight centres in Chennai and Madurai. Several
students with whom this correspondent spoke opined that they had
several unexpected and twisted questions from Physics in paper 2.
Satish,
an IIT aspirant said, he had to take more time to answer questions from
Physics rather than other sections. “I know that JEE will not easy but
never expected it to be this tough. Overall quality of the paper is good
and I am certain of clearing it but with much difficulty”, he said.
Aakash
Chaudhary, director, Aakaash institute said, Physics section in Paper-1
was of medium difficulty. There were a few traps to entice a student to
commit mistakes and mark the wrong answers. For example, there were
three questions with answers close to the correct one.
Out of 20
questions in the Physics section, three were of very easy level, two of
hard level and remaining had medium difficulty. The average score would
be about 35 out of a total of 60.
Chemistry had several thought provoking questions. Some of the questions were very tricky and required in-depth knowledge.
Chemistry had several thought provoking questions. Some of the questions were very tricky and required in-depth knowledge.
Majority
of the questions were direct. Out of 20 problems, four were of easy
level, 10 of moderate and six were much difficult to crack. The average
score would be around 30 out of a total of 60.
Like always, the mathematics section remains the deciding section of the IIT entrance.
This
year too Maths in paper 1 was of relatively tough, as compared to
Physics & Chemistry. There were at least 8 to 10 questions out of
20, in which students could commit mistake in very easy way.
Most
of the questions are from mixed concepts and taking more than expected
time for finding accurate (exact) answer. Students felt the paper to be
lengthy, but were balanced with respect to weightage of class XI and XII
portion.
The major effect of Paper-I was that very first time
IITs have introduced negative marking on multiple choice questions and
integer type questions, that made the paper tough. The average score in
this section should be around 24 out of a total of 60.
