JEE Main 2013 Held With Perfection And Glitches

JEE Main Offline Exam Held With Glitches
JEE Main 2013 Offline Exam which was held on 7th April, 2013 (Sunday) was filled with both Perfection and Glitches. While a few centres held it successfully, a few other centres faced glitches too. However, students appearing for the offline exam were in a surprise as they felt the paper was easy than they assumed.

Dilip Vaidya, director of academics at a city-based coaching institute said, "Compared to last year's AIEEE paper, this was easier. The questions were direct and extremely well balanced with respect to the topic. The questions were also graded and the difficulty level was spread across the subjects well. The cutoffs are sure to rise this year though we cannot make a comparison since this is the Mains exam."

 

Maduri Potwar, director at the city branch of a national coaching institute, agreed that the cutoffs would head north. "The paper was not tough and this means students will be scoring higher. In fact, two or three questions were directly taken from previous year's IIT-JEE papers," she said.

Nisha Kothari, owner of a local coaching centre, said, "Maths is usually the toughest in these type of papers but this time it was different. This will obviously increase the cut-off as we all had anticipated earlier. Students have said they found the paper easier than anticipated and some even said that certain questions were taken directly from previous year's paper."

Around 420 students from across Goa and other neighbouring areas including Kholapur and Ratnagiri answered the exam held from 9.30am to 12.30am. A police team from the Maina Curtorim police station was on guard during the exam.

In Gujarat over 94,000 HSC (science) students have registered for the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main, common admission test for admission to engineering colleges across the country and state on 7th April, i.e. on Sunday. There are 112 centres for the off-line exam - answered using pen and paper. Gujarat has nine centres, namely Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Bhuj, Godhra, Himmatnagar, Jamnagar, Navsari, Valsad and Anand.

In Assam over 15,000 aspirants took the first Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) (Main) here on Sunday. Students say that the paper was comparatively easier than last year's. The physics questions were a bit conceptual, chemistry was easier and math was of a moderate level.

While students felt that the Physics paper was quite tricky but, was not difficult to solve them others felt that the physics section had questions that are usually asked in board examinations and not in competitive exams. Also, Chemistry had about five to six information-based questions while rest of the questions were conceptual."
