JEE Advanced to contain short answer type questions

/in , , /by

The announcement comes just a day after the JAB said the next IIT-JEE (Advanced) will be conducted online. JEE (Advanced) so far only had MCQs, where the correct answer had to be marked into optical mark reading sheets later evaluated by machines.

“The introduction of a computer-based test will give candidates access to keyboards. So, they will be able to provide correct answers through calculations, if necessary,” said a JAB source. “When the question pattern was multiple-choice, examinees often took refuge in the process of elimination to guess the answer. Now, such opportunities will be limited,” he added.

Since there is no order about framing questions in a particular way, question-setters will be at liberty to introduce a variety of questions that challenge examinees to think harder, and not just rely on techniques or memorization to crack the questions. “Concept-based questions will increase. The question pattern is set to change,” the official explained.

The decision to shift to a computerized testing system had been taken to eliminate printing errors and translation goof-ups that create.

We at Matrix predict that examination would have both MCQ type questions while it may also have short answer type questions. For the short answer type questions, answers would most likely be either ONE WORD ANSWER or in the form of numbers. This is because if the JAB wants to go with subjective questions like board examination, it would be very tough for the JAB to get more than 200,000+ students’ responses checked in a short span.

JOINT ENTRANCE EXAMINATION TO GO ONLINE

/in , , , /by

Joint Entrance Examination which is the doorway to many significant and prestigious institutes like IITs, NITs, will be conducted online from next year. The decision is taken by the Joint Admission Board (JAB) to evaluate the result in a more logistic and easier way.

The joint admission board (JAB), also announced that it will do away with multiple choice questions (MCQ) and instead opt for short answer type questions.

The whole process of getting admission however remains the same i.e. the students need to get through the JEE Main to appear for the JEE Advance. The government decided to introduce the online exam for the JEE Main, but JAB decided to outspread it to JEE Advance.

Every year approximately 13 Lakhs students appear for the JEE Mains where just 10% of them appear online. But now everyone has to appear at the online system. According to the source, the concept of this online system was prevailing for many years but the implementation took some time, as said by a JAB Member. In addition to this, a JAB Member also stated that this move will create a transparency and avoid leaking of paper too.

The government and the JAB team is working hard to make this event a success. So, they have decided to conduct a training facility for the students before the exam where they will be given a hand on experience over the computer and will also be allowed to give mock tests and assessment to get used to the system. Moreover, the schools will also be instructed to allow students to practice on computers to get a good grip before the examination.

The online system however has various benefits within itself. As mentioned earlier it will create a transparency and avoid leaking of papers. In addition to it, preparing question papers online can help judge the difficulty level from low to medium to high. The online exam will even neutralize the problem of misprinting, which is greatly faced by the students appearing for the offline mode of examination.

A recent incident in 2017 examination where some questions being incorrect was raised by some students. To meet the students’ query the council decided to grant 18 marks bonus to all the students whether they have applied for it or not. So, to cope up from all these unwanted circumstances the council have finally decided to bring in the online system.

All the students need to cooperate with the government and the board because all these are done to create a fair environment for the students. The students need to stay focused on their work and concentrate in their study. The mode of examination should not bother the student. These are part and parcel. Moreover, all the necessary steps will be followed by the government, council and the schools to help the student achieve their goal and to get through this new system smoothly. The students just need to cooperate with them all and give their best to get the best results.

At Matrix JEE Academy, we will take care of the students, their problems and difficulties. The students will be provided with proper guidance and they will secure a good grip over the new system. Various new techniques and methodology will be introduced for the betterment of the students.

Happy Learning

Exams in online mode

/in , , , /by

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.
