WB-JEE 2010 : Exam Analysis


WB-JEE 2010 Analysis

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board was born out of a concept of holding a common admission test for the Engineering Colleges of the State of West Bengal. The basic purpose was to select candidates to be considered for admission to the State Engineering Colleges on the basis of the results of a single competitive examination, which would also lead to saving of time, energy and expenditure on the part of the candidates in appearing at number of entrance tests.

JEM 2010 was the Entrance Test for admission to different degree level Engineering & Technology/ Dairy Technology/Pharmacy/ Agricultural Engineering, etc as well as degree level Medical / Dental courses in Universities/University Departments/Government colleges as well as Self Financing Colleges of the State of West Bengal.

There are three different options for a student while appearing in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEM-2010) as stated below:

The Examination “JEM-2010” was consisting of 4 (Four) papers:

Mathematics - 100 marks
Physics - 50 marks
Chemistry - 50 marks
Biological Sciences - 100 marks

Schedule of JEM 2010

Date of Exam 9.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. 12.30 p.m. to 2.30 p.m. 3.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.

There were Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ-type, with four options including single correct answer) carrying 80% weightage of the total marks and remaining 20% will be of short answer type. In MCQ type, for each incorrect response, 33.33% of mark would be deducted and more than one answer indicated against one question will be treated as incorrect response/answer. All questions will have to be answered on specially designed machine gradable answer sheets (OMR answer sheet). Answers are to be marked using blue/black ball point pen only on the ‘OMR answer sheet’ and answer to the ‘short questions’ are to be written in blue/black ball point pen on the answer sheet provided for the purpose.

Difficulty Level of the Paper

Teachers at Career Forum in the city say that more than one lakh aspirants appear for the WBJEE exam every year. So primarily students need to study the higher secondary (HS) syllabus thoroughly. The WBJEE syllabus was overhauled in 2006. Since then the trend has been to closely adhere to the state board’s HS syllabus while setting questions. Earlier, candidates had to face a considerable number of questions on topics that were not covered by the board syllabus. In WB-JEE 2010 also the same pattern was followed.

It is best not to go through all the MCQs right at the beginning. Several questions could be unfamiliar. And this could be demoralising. So candidates should take one question at a time. I’d advise that they quickly answer the ones they are familiar with and not waste time on questions they can’t answer at one go.

Physics

Since mathematical problems in physics can prove to be a weak point for students who are not strong in maths, every effort should be made to attempt non-numerical questions. You could easily answer at least 15 to 16 non-mathematical questions (among 50) in the physics paper. The paper was EASY to AVERAGE. Scoring in this section could be quite easy for the students who have done the HS syllabus thoroughly.

Chemistry

Chemistry was the magical section. It will bring in twist for the scoring of the merit list. Physical questions from different sections of the portions dominated the paper, followed by Inorganic and finally Organic. The questions were quite simple and were based on the general understanding of the HS syllabus. There were few tough questions which made the section a deciding factor. The subjective section was quite easy.

Mathematics

Career Forum students were overjoyed seeing the question paper. The reason was simple; approximately 12 out of 90 questions were from our tech sheet and test papers. Overall the paper can be said as an AVERAGE one, dominated by Algebra and Calculus. The subjective section consisted of all average level questions. Only one question on induction was easy. Paper was easy as compared to WB JEE 2009.

Biology

The biology paper is always a crucial part of the medical entrance exam. There’s apparently no shortcut to mastering the subject. The WBJEE Board tests whether a candidate has a solid grounding in the subject. The number of seats in state medical colleges is limited, competition is fierce.

This year, at least 25-30 per cent of the questions in biology were really tough.
