FEEL
OF JMET 2010 |
“Change can either challenge or threaten us...Your beliefs pave your way to success or block you."
The JMET once again proved that it is an entrance exam one cannot play around with. A challenging paper where intrinsic abilities of logical thinking and language aptitude stood out stark and clear. For a committed candidate with his sights set on the IITs, today’s test has just laid the foundations of a stimulating rendezvous with a career in management.
The JMET 2009-10 did not spring any surprises. This multiple choice objective paper was straightforward in its approach and tackling the questions was not a demanding task.
Fortified with a strategy this JMET paper with its fair distribution of questions in all the four sections gave the candidate approximately 40-45 minutes per section which was a luxury no other MBA Entrance exam offered!
 STRUCTURE OF THE PAPER
Time: 3 Hr.
Total number of questions: 120
Marks per question: 1
Negative marking: 0.25
 HIGHLIGHTS:
1. The Verbal Communication section was visually appealing but bordering on the tougher side. The
vocabulary questions were wicked and simply astounded the wits of a student
2. The LR section was above average, but again very similar, to the earlier two years. It had strong
emphasis on verbal reasoning as on classic analytical reasoning.
3. Many sitters in QA. Overall a similar section as the JMET 2008.
4. The DI section was lengthy and calculation intensive
TIME ALLOCATION STRATEGY
Considering the fact that a balanced score has to be maintained for all sections, the smartest strategy would have been an allocation of 45 minutes for each section.
