Exams in online mode

In the past few years there have been some significant changes not only in the paper pattern of the various competitive exams such as JEE Advanced but also the mode in which the examinations are conducted. A decade earlier, online examination was not as mainstream as it is now. This has been the result of rapid information technology boost in the past few years in our country. Surprisingly, the student community was the first to acclimatize to this change. This made the online examination more preferable than the offline version for many students.

We believe that online examination definitely has an edge when compared with its offline version. A lot of overheads are reduced not only for the students but also for the conducting authority. Paper correction becomes easy and there is absolutely no chance of errors to creep in. The candidate can evaluate or re-answer any question at any point of time during the examination. The candidate can change the answers during the exam duration which to my mind is the most striking feature of online process. The candidate also has an option to mark any answer for review at a later stage during the examination. A panel on the screen shows all the question numbers in different color scheme which indicates the questions that are answered, left unanswered and marked for review. The only pitfall is that many students from rural background are not accustomed to stare a computer screen for 3 hours straight. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to keep certain things in mind before attempting the exam in online mode.

It’s better to come prepared in every aspect for the examination for which you have prepared so rigorously for the past 1-2 years. Few points that you might want to keep track off-

1. First of all, train yourselves to take the exam on a computer and the best practice is take many demo exams through online mode before the actual examination.
2. Rough sheets are provided separately, so you don’t need to worry about rough space.
3. Try to reach examination center at least 30 minutes before the examination. This is because in some cases the computers can turn out to be faulty.
4. There are buffer computers and IT professionals at the center to deal with such emergencies. Take there help if necessary.
5. Keep track of time while solving the paper.
6. The paper will automatically be submitted and you won’t be able to mark the answers once the time is over. However, you will be given many warnings when the time is about to get over so this is hardly a worry factor.

Now let’s get to some of the myths related to the online examination mode. The most common one being that you need a thorough knowledge of computers to attempt them. Literally speaking, all you need to know is how to use a mouse on a computer to take the examination. The exams are designed in a way that requires minimal computer knowledge. Another myth is that this examination is not secure. The online JEE examination is one of the most secure examinations conducted in our country. So rest assured, no one will be able to access your answers except you. The paper also allows you to see the answers in Hindi. This allows you to have a further level of clarification. Yet another myth is that candidates don’t get question paper for future reference unlike the offline mode. The question paper along with the options marked is mailed to each and every candidate after the exam schedule is over.

Online exam is extremely easy and helpful if you understand all the rules properly and abide by all the instructions. You will face no problems on the technical side during the examination. If you have some other doubts you can always visit the JEE website and clarify them. There is also a call center support facility available for the appearing candidates.
