Stay on IITJEE 2010 Results...

The Delhi High Court has admitted a public interest litigation of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that has sought stay on the declaration of result of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) entrance exam held April 11.

Raising the issue of errors in the instructions for examinees who took the IIT joint entrance examination (IIT-JEE) in Hindi, the NGO, Satya Foundation, filed the public interest litigation (PIL) on April 25, which was heard Thursday.

Chetan Upadhyaya, secretary and counsel of Satya Foundation, Thursday submitted before the court a list of serious blunders in the IIT JEE-2010 and said that instead of accepting the faults and re-conducting the examination, the Joint Admission Board was trying to cover up the issue with “corrective measures” which are “totally illogical and can’t be digested by anybody”.

The IIT-JEE board evolved corrective measures May 2 to ensure that genuine candidates were not affected by the examination errors. It formulated a point-by-point remedial action and posted the same on the IIT-JEE website May 2, it said.

But the petitioner demanded an interim stay on the publication of results till the pendency of the petition and also that the examination be reconducted.

The two-judge bench of Acting Chief Justice Madan B. Lokur and Ms. Justice Mukta Gupta, admitting the petition clubbed it along with the earlier petition filed by Rajeev Kumar, a professor at IIT Kharagpur through his legal counsel Prashant Bhushan April 7 for overall transparency in the IIT-JEE system.

Both the PILs will be heared before the court May 19.

The results of IIT-JEE-2010 are expected to be declared by May 26.

Chetan Upadhyaya expressed his strong disagreement before the court for clubbing the two PILs.

“These are two different issues, my PIL is about errors in the Hindi version of question paper of the IIT-JEE 2010 while Dr Rajeev Kumar’s PIL is about overall transparency in the IIT,” Upadhyaya said.

Anand Kumar, director-cum-founder of Super 30, told IANS over phone from Patna that the corrective steps taken up by the IIT-JEE could not bring justice to the Hindi medium student.

“The corrective measures taken by IIT-JEE can in no way provide justice to the students who opted for the Hindi medium question paper. The only solution is to re-conduct the examination,” Anand Kumar told IANS.

Chetan Upadhyaya said he has full faith in the judiciary and justice will be done.

“I have full faith in the judiciary, I am sure the court will do justice to the thousands of Hindi medium students in the next hearing May 19,” Upadhyaya told IANS.

IITJEE 2010 Paper Analysis and Discussions

Around 4.5 lakh students appeared for IITJEE 2010 entrance exam all over the nation. There were some major changes in the pattern of the examination.

Change in Pattern

Change of pattern of exam is very important to select the good talent. The change in pattern of the exam brings unpredictability and students who can think on the fly and has good IQ perform better as compared to those who slog a lot.

In last few years equal weightages were given to paper-1 and paper-2 but this year the trend has been broken. Paper-1 was for 252 marks where as paper-2 was only 237 marks with physics, chemistry and mathematics combined together. Also in paper-1,there were more number of questions as compared to that in paper-2. Paper-1 had 84 questions in all whereas paper-2 had only 57 questions. It means paper-1 had 47% more questions than paper-1. Why IIT would have done this? This might be because of the reason that generally students get tired in paper-2 and find it difficult to perform up to their abilities.

Another change was the partial marking in more than one choice correct type of questions. It was never there in IIT but this year you can get marks even if you could not tick all correct choices.

Difficulty Level

Mathematics :

Mathematics paper was definitely trickier and tougher than last year papers especially paper-2. It was little more difficult to score this time.

In paper-1 there were 28 questions as compared to 20 questions in JEE 2009. With same level of questions it was expected to solve 50% more number of questions. Many students were surprised and got confused when they saw 28 questions to be done in 1 hour. Students who spent more time in trying questions lost their productive time and had to leave those which they could have done correctly.

Paper-2 though had less number of questions compared to paper-1 but was equally or more difficult to score. The questions were not straight forward and had lots of calculation steps. The students who could pick the average level questions would perform better than others. There is no change in number of questions as compared to JEE 2009 paper-2.

Analysis: So overall I would rate mathematics little difficult to score as compared to last year. So average score should fall due to this. Some counter effect would come from more than one correct type of questions where partial parking was introduced for the first time.

Chemistry :

In Chemistry paper – 1 and 2, some of the questions were very easy and straight forward (especially Physical Chemistry). Organic Chemistry questions were also straight forward with a moderate degree of difficulty but still easier as compared to last year exam.

Inorganic chemistry was in a totally different format as compared to last year. The paper didn’t require the mugging of inorganic reactions but the questions were much more factual and most of them were based on qualitative aspect of Inorganic chemistry.

In paper – 2, there were only 2 match the columns questions as compared to 4 last year exam. Also, the single answer questions and link comprehension questions were easier with a moderate difficulty in Subjective questions.

Since there were more questions (unexpected) in the paper – 1 but lesser difficulty level along with some vagueness in the questions and partial marking in multiple answer questions, Chemistry is roughly at the same level (in terms of scores) as compared to last year.

Physics :

Since the paper – 1 had more questions than the last year, this should obviously decrease the individual score in Physics. In Paper – 2, the number of questions were same.

Overall, the difficulty level may be assumed to be slightly on higher side. Also, the paper had more rigorous calculations requirement relative to last year.

Paper – 2 level was roughly the same as compared to last year exam.
So, as per the analysis, scoring in Physics paper would be little less as compared to last year.

IIT - JEE EXTENDED MERIT LIST (EML) Colleges

IITJEE also provides JEE Extended Merit list (JEE EML) with the common merit list of students. This list is not the waiting list for admission in any IITs, IT-BHU, Varanasi and ISM Dhanbad.

This list is only meant for admission in few research oriented new Engineering colleges.

The scope in these colleges are not good, There is no link between these colleges and IIT.

So, by taking admission in these colleges on basis of JEE Extended Merit list (EML) will not help you to get good carrier in Engineering field. It will be better to opt for NIT on the AIEEE rank.

The Candidates appearing in the EML are not eligible for admission into IITs, IT-BHU, and ISMU, and will not be called for counselling of JEE-2010.

The list of institutions that will be using the EML of JEE-2010 is given below. The list may be updated time to time.

IITJEE 2010 Minor Errors And Tricky Questions Left Students Worked Up

The Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Test (IIT-JEE) that took place on Sunday left many students worked up due to difficult mathematics questions as well as minor errors in the question paper.

Many students complained that the mathematics questions in the paper were not only difficult and lengthy but were also much above the level of math taught by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

Another thing that got students anxious was the mismatched order of sections in the question paper and the OMR answer sheet. Due to the printing error, the subject heads of mathematics and physics were interchanged in the question paper and the answer sheet.

What added to the complications was that all three subjects, namely, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics had exactly 28 questions. The IIT authorities realized the error as students throughout the country complained of it and advised them to ignore the subject headings and answer according to the serial numbers, which were the same in thequestion paper and the answer sheet.

Students who gave the Hindi version of Paper I of the test complained that a question in one of the 10 codes was not printed.

An official statement was later released by JEE authorities that the students would not be made to suffer for the errors in the paper.

The Director of IIT-Delhi, Mr. Surendra Prasad said, "Apart from these minor error, the examination passed off smoothly and there were no other complaints."

'Super 30' opposes changes in IIT-JEE

Government's suggestion for bringing changes in IIT-Joint Entrance Examination by putting more emphasis on aptitude test has been opposed by 'Super 30', an organisation providing free coaching to rural youths to crack the entrance.

Anand Kumar, founder of 'Super 30' initiative, today said such changes will facilitate growth of coaching institutes in the country.

HRD Ministry has set up a four-member committee,headed by IIT Kharagpur director Prof Damodar Acharya, to suggest changes in the IIT-JEE to explore possibility of having one exam in place of the present IIT-JEE, AIEEE and state JEEs for admission into engineering stream.

The Terms Of Reference (TOR) issued by the ministry has said that the committee will suggest how due weightage would be given to performance of students in board exams and the entrance exam. The revised test should consist of an aptitude test to gauge the raw intelligence of students, the TOR said.

"The aptitude test will place students from rural India at a disadvantage position vis-a vis their urban counterparts. This will also lead to flourishing of private coaching classes instead of minimising it," Kumar said.
He said he has written to Acharya on this issue and requested him not to suggest inclusion aptitude test in the revised JEE format.

Kumar has supported the concept of a common test in place of IIT-JEE, AIEEE and state JEEs.
"This will distress the students from multiple exams and also lead to an integrated admission process," he said.
The government panel is expected to submit its report next month.

The Super 30 initiative will increase its intake from 30 to 60 from the coming year and admit students from all states.

The states of Tamil Nadu and Chhattisgarh are ready start tests to find out potential students from rural areas and send them to Super 30 for coaching, he said.

Kumar had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in February and suggested the number of attempts should be increased from two to three for students of rural areas as they are invariably late starters.

IITJEE: How To Prepare for it

IIT JEE is undoubtedly one of the toughest and most competitive exams in the world. With an increasing no of candidates appearing every year for just around ten thousand seats, and the mutating exam pattern have made it even more gruel some in the past few years.

The exam consists of two papers each of three hours duration having questions from all the three subjects with equal weightage. It is a very commonly known fact that you don’t get run of the mill stuff in JEE. The questions may seem less in number as compared to other engineering entrances, but they are so framed that they test the candidate’s analytical ability, accuracy, comprehension and concept all at the same time. Many people take the objective pattern for granted thinking that mere guesswork would get them through and so many of them end up getting negative scores. In our own times, teachers used to joke that you should recheck your answer if you get in your first attempt.

Now, we have bits of advice based on our own experiences for people who are interested in reading this further.

There is a great difference between your class X board exams and this level of competitive study. There is a lot of stress laid on analytical ability and mathematical skills. And as matter of fact the paper is such that attempting 40 % of it correctly gets you through. Don’t take it the other way, guys. It’s not a child’s play. A considerable number of people get negative marks also!

With so many coaching institutes springing up here and there and the number of medical students declining every year, the competition is rising exponentially and the number of seats is not increasing at the same rate. Around forty people compete for one seat, but if you actually consider the conventional branches in the seven premier IITs the ratio becomes 1:100. Now this is not to discourage you people but only to emphasise on the seriousness of the subject.

Now the question arises, what is exactly needed to scale Mt. JEE – loads of intelligence, hours and hours of study, accuracy..?

PASSION – is the keyword. Inveterate passion is what would sail you through. The rest are all by products. You need to eat IIT, sleep IIT, drink IIT. Put your heart and soul into it. Imagine what getting into IIT would give you. Respect, fame, money, all round development and what not. Go ahead ...dream big....build castles in the air...no harm..but don’t forget to put foundations under them. Success is the result of spontaneous combustion...you need to put yourself on fire. Nothing splendid was ever achieved in cold blood. Heat is needed to forge anything. Behind every great achievement there is a story of a flaming heart...

Remember your performance in your class X board exams is not a measure of how well you would do in your competitive exams. You start afresh in class XI. Joining a coaching institute is always useful no matter what people say about “self study”. It not only helps you to comprehend your subjects better but also provides a competitive environment with regular mock tests to tell you where you stand and where you need to work harder. Now don’t go for the new upcoming ones. You should not put your career at stake. It’s always better to be in the old reputed ones where there is plenty of “junta” studying and the past records are also creditable.

As mentioned earlier, there is a great difference between what you study in class X and your competitive study in class XI. Initially you would find things tougher. Problems won’t crack as easily as they used to in the previous classes. That’s normal. Nothing to worry. You’d get used to it with practice.

To begin with, calculus is an important part of the whole syllabus so learning the basic tricks of differentiation, integration and maxima- minima would prove to be useful in the long run. Trigonometric formulae should also be covered and a revision of your class IX and X geometry would be helpful in solving many problems of trigonometry as well as coordinate geometry.

In physics, kinematics should give you an idea of what level of problems you would be facing and we reckon addition and subtraction of vectors should be studied separately.

Stoichiometry and chemical bonding are always the best topics to begin with in chemistry as some parts of them have already been covered in the previous classes.

I would advise you all not to ignore your coaching study material as most people do. Remember it is compiled by people who are professionals and they know a lot more about what is necessary than any of you do at your present stage.

And yes remember practice is what can make the most difficult of topics the easiest. When you actually “fight“ with a question and spend time on it you learn the maximum. A very famous scientist said that by not succeeding in cracking a problem I learn about ten thousand ways of not doing it. It really works, believe me...helps in improving your mathematical aptitude.

And talking of mathematical aptitude, I hasten to mention that you won’t find any repetition of questions in JEE. Each question is framed by the IIT faculty and you won’t find them anywhere else before the exam. So your mathematical aptitude will decide how well you attempt the paper. And solving the previous years’ papers would just give you an idea of the level and type of questions. So no use mugging up stuff as in the other exams.

To conclude I would like to say that every one of you who is serious about getting in there should make best use of your time and opportunity and not leave any stone unturned while preparing because later you don’t have any option but to curse yourself with loads of guilt and remorse.

There is so much to say on this topic that everything cannot be mentioned here. However, we will be discussing this throughout on the discussion forum and if you guys have any doubts or queries or you feel that there is anything that you wan’t to share with us you are most welcome. We will try our level best to give you correct and authentic advice.

ALL THE BEST......

USE YOUR TIME WELL...
