Students are completely confused by differential marking pattern of AIEEE

April 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Nearly 12 lakh students today appeared in All India Engineering Entrance Exam which offered questions with differential marking patterns, creating some confusion among students.

Unlike previous years, the questions carried differential marks. Earlier, the questions in each sections used to carry the same number of marks.

The three-hour paper carried 90 questions for 432 marks. These questions comprised 30 in each of the subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry. Each subject had 24 questions of four marks each and six questions of eight marks each.

“Last year all the questions carried uniform marks. The change in the marking pattern was bit confusing,” said a student.

“Inclusion of differential marking has confused students and those who were able to allocate time properly among the different questions with different marking schemes were able to do well,” said Ajay Antony, Course Director, IIT JEE Training, at TIME institute.
