Different sets for different dates

Hyderabad: Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains is just eight days away from today and the CBSE has informed all the 13 lakh aspirants on the dos and don’ts for the all important national exam. As the test is conducted in both pen and paper mode and computer-based mode, it stated that different sets of question papers will be used on multiple exam dates.

It may be known that the pen and paper mode exam will be conducted on April 6 whereas the computer based examination is scheduled on April 9, 11, 12, 19.

Since the same question papers cannot be given on all the dates, the board has intimated to all the aspirants that the ‘subject experts who have prepared these question papers have certified that the entire syllabus of mathematics, physics and chemistry has been covered in each question set by dividing the syllabus of each subject into appropriate number of units and choosing equal number of questions from each unit’.

According to a senior official of the CBSE, the

difficulty level of the questions in each subject will be the same. “In every set, each subject carries the same percentage of easy, medium and difficult questions. This ensures the same difficulty level of each set of question paper as per the practice of the board in the year 2012 and 2013. Students need not worry that they got a tough paper whereas the aspirants on some other day faced a relatively easy one. The three-tier filtration, evaluation of question papers makes them equal for all,” he clarified.

JEE Mains is conducted in as many as 150 centres (offline) and 281 centres (online) including Hyderabad, Warangal, Guntur, Tirupathi. More than 1.20 lakh have registered from Andhra Pradesh for the exam.
