BENGALURU: The JEE (Advance) exam was held in the city on Sunday in two sessions. There were no technical glitches and the education experts said that the paper 1 was comparatively easier than paper 2.
“Paper 1 was moderate. Physics was moderately easy as the previous year with six easy, 10 moderate and two difficult questions. Chemistry was moderate with a marginal increase in the standard, when compared with the last year with eight easy, seven moderate and three difficult questions. The Maths paper was as difficult as last year with five easy, eight moderate and five tough questions. An average student can score between 70 and 80, whereas a well prepared student can score about 130-140 out of 186. Overall the paer was of good standard and will put students to test,” said Dr Sridhar G an expert analyzing the PCM paper.
He said that “Paper 2 was difficult. Physics was moderately difficult, with an increase in the difficulty level when compared to last year with four easy, eight moderate and six difficult questions. Chemistry too was moderately difficult with an increase in the difficulty level in comparison to previous years with equal distribution of six questions each per level of easy, moderate and difficult. The Maths paper difficulty level was similar to last year with about four, seven, seven, easy, moderate and difficult respectively. An average student can score 25, whereas a well prepared student can score about 40-45 out of 186. ”
L.S. Nikitha, a student, said, “I felt the paper was moderate. I had gone through the handbook for formulae and solved previous year question papers. The question paper pattern was the same. There were no tricky questions. I felt Paper 2 was easier than Paper 1. I could answer most of the questions and I felt more confident about my answers in paper 2. None of the questions were out of syllabus or tricky. I am not sure what score to expect, I will wait for the answer key to be out, only after that I’ll get to know my score. I want to pursue Computer Science Engg and probably would join R.V. College.”
