JEE Mains 2018 paper analysis: Experts who have analysed the paper found that it had a moderate difficulty level JEE Mains 2018 paper analysis: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted the Indian Institutes of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT JEE) main exam on Sunday, April 8, 2017.  As per experts, Paper I difficulty level was moderate, however, students have found Physics section tricky and tough and Maths paper lenghty.
The pattern followed this year was quite similar that of the last two years’ papers. This year, close to 11 lakh candidates have appeared for the examinations, as per reports. Out of which, only 2.24 lakh students will be eligible for appearing in the JEE Advanced 2018 exam which is scheduled on the May 20. The answer keys will be uploaded on the official website, jeemain.nic.in, from April 24 to April 27, 2018.

JEE Mains 2018 paper analysis: Experts reactions

While some experts believe that the overall difficulty level was moderate, some find few questions tricky. Here are analysis from top coaching institutes.

Aakash Institute
Overall, the JEE Main 2018 was slightly on the difficult side. A few questions in the paper were straightforward and could be solved by a student who has been preparing sincerely for the exam. But a large numbers of questions required lengthy solutions. A few questions were difficult which will play crucial role to get top scores.

In all the three subjects, 5-6 questions were framed quite differently. However, there was no ambiguous question in the paper this year.

In Physics paper, overall questions were slightly on the difficult side compared to last year. By and large, paper was on the expected lines with few elements of surprise. Almost all the topics were covered as prescribed by CBSE for JEE Main.

The Mathematics paper overall was slightly on the difficult side. There were seven to eight lengthy questions, but a few questions were straightforward as well. Questions were asked from all chapters. Questions asked were conceptual and nearer to the JEE Advanced paper in terms of tricks and approach. Students whose study was confined to NCERT and related text books would find it difficult. Equal weightage was given to Class 11 and 12 syllabus.

In Chemistry, almost equal weightage of Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry was there. Paper has average difficulty level. No question was asked from the topics of Structure of atom, d & f-block, Aldehyde Ketone, s-block, Polymer & Surface Chemistry. Overall paper was balanced and mixture of conceptual and numerical questions.

Rajshekhar Ratrey, VP Educational Content, Toppr.com

“In terms of difficulty level, this year’s paper was similar to the last two years’ papers. The paper was moderately easy. A student should not have had much trouble completing the paper as well. They found similarities between the weightage of marks in this paper, and the 12th standard syllabus. The JEE Main cut off should fall between 95 and 105.

Physics

Surprisingly, Physics was the toughest paper among the three. The questions were a mix of theory based and calculation. This section was not lengthy. There were 17 questions from 12th standard syllabus and 13 questions from 11th standard syllabus. This section had 4 difficult questions, 20 moderate questions and 6 easy questions. Initial assessment fond that none of the options of Q.6 of set B were correct. The question was based on Pulley where minimum mass was to be ascertained.

Chemistry

Chemistry was the moderately easy among the three. This section was lengthy in comparison to the other sections. There were 14 questions asked from 12th standard syllabus and 16 questions from 11th standard syllabus. This section had 3 difficult questions, 17 moderate questions, and 10 easy questions. Initial assessment suspects students may find 2 options of Q.63 of Set B could to be correct. However, we think the answer should be option 1. This was a question from Alcohol phenol and ether, on a reaction of Phenol.

Mathematics

Surprisingly, Mathematics was the easiest paper amongst the three. Most questions were calculative. There were 10 questions asked from 12th standard syllabus and 20 questions from 11th standard syllabus. This section had 3 difficult questions, 14 moderate questions and 13 easy questions.”

Prof Uday Nath Mishra, Chief Academic Officer, BasicFirst

“Expected cut off is 80(+-5%) marks out of 360. The paper was moderate and based on NCERT. Chemistry was the most lengthy. Organic chemistry was found more difficult, Physical chemistry was more numerical based, whereas, Inorganic chemistry was easy. Maths was mostly based on class 12 syllabus and was more formula based. Maximum questions were from Calculus. Physics was based on class 11th syllabus and greater portion of Mechanics & Electrostatics was covered.”
As per BASE institute, Physics was difficult in the overall comparison. It was lenghty as well. Four questions are modified version of those that appeared in the previous years JEE Advanced. This time, equal weightage has been given to first and second year topics

Mr Ajay Antony, National Course director JEE Exam, T.I.M.E

The JEE Main off-line Examination of 2018 was held on 8th April. It was a 3 hour paper, which started at 9:30am. The test paper had 90 questions for 360 marks. There were 3 parts in the question paper consisting of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The order of subjects were different in different versions of the booklets. The options given for the questions were also shuffled in various versions.

Each subject carried 30 questions. All questions were objective in nature with 4 choices and there was only one correct response. Each question carried 4 marks for the correct response and -1 for wrong response. All questions were ‘Single Correct Multiple Choice’ type.

Physics and Chemistry questions were relatively easy in JEE Main 2018. The questions in Mathematics required lengthy calculations in solving them. Hence, many students rated Mathematics section as ‘tough’.

Wrong questions, more than 1 right answer fox JEE students

Mumbai: The 2018 edition of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE-Main) was an easy paper as compared to many in the past. But what left students puzzled were wrong questions in the physics section and other questions which had more than one correct answer.

A total of 10.43 lakh candidates took the exam in 112 cities in 1,621 centres. While 6.5 lakh were boys, 2.7 lakh were girls and three transgenders. Students also appeared for the exam in eight cities abroad.

Most students said the exam was simple, with physics being the toughest and maths being time-consuming. Praveen Tyagi MD of Pace IIT & Medical, said, “In physics, two questions were ambiguous.” Other faculty said chemistry had one question with two correct answers.

In physics, there were 17 questions from class 12 syllabus and 13 from the 11th standard syllabus. “This section had four difficult questions, 20 moderate questions and six easy ones. Initial assessment suggests none of the options of Q6 set B was correct,” said Rajshekhar Ratrey, VP Educational Content, Toppr.com.

In chemistry, experts said there were three difficult questions, 17 moderate and 10 easy ones. Students said there were two correct options in a question on alcohol phenol. Another question on Lewis acid could also have two correct answers, they said.

There were 30 questions each in maths, physics and chemistry with marking scheme of four marks for right answer and for each incorrect response, one-fourth of the total marks allotted to the question would be deducted from the total score.

“The paper is balanced and is set from CBSE syllabus of Std XI and XII. But, as expected, many of the questions were conceptual with some needing analytical skills,” said R L Trikha, director FIITJEE.

Dilip Vaidya, director academics of ICAD, said, “Unlike last year, physics seems to be very lengthy due to involved calculations. It had only couple of questions which required no calculation. Many questions had very close options or close-range options, which required very precise calculation. This made physics further difficult. Only those with high numerical ability will survive in this part.”

Experts at coaching classes pegged the cut-off around 80 of 360. Cut-off for common merit list in 2015, 2016 and2017 was 105,100 ,81respectively. TNN

CBSE paper leak: CBSE won’t go for Class X maths re-test

TNN | Updated: Apr 4, 2018, 08:34 IST

 

CBSE said internal inquiries and analysis based on inputs from the ongoing police probe indicate that the alleged paper leak might be confined to a few beneficiaries

 

 

NEW DELHI: Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Tuesday decided not to hold re-examination for the Class X mathematics paper whose question paper had been leaked earlier. This decision holds good even for candidates in NCR and Haryana, the two regions where the leak allegedly took place. The central government has constituted a high-powered committee to examine the process of conducting the CBSE exams and suggest measures to make it secure.
On Monday, TOI had reported that the Union human resource development ministry and CBSE were of the view that the leak would not significantly impact the examination and the overall result, so there would be no retest.

Anil Swarup, MHRD secretary (school education), tweeted: “Consequent to the preliminary evaluation of the impact of reportedly leaked CBSE Class X maths paper and keeping in mind the paramount interest of students, CBSE has decided not to conduct re-examination even in the states of Delhi, NCR and Haryana.”

Swarup added that the government has constituted a high-powered committee under the chairmanship of ex-secretary, MHRD, VS Oberoi “to examine the process of conducting CBSE exams and suggest measures to make it secure and foolproof through the use of technology. Report to be submitted by May 31.”

A statement issued by CBSE said, “Class X examination is essentially a gateway for Class XI. It, thus, remains largely an internal segment of school education system. It is therefore felt that the Board must address the primary concern of a large section of the students. Keeping in mind the paramount interest of students, the Board has taken the decision to not hold re-examination of Class X maths paper even in Delhi NCR and Haryana…”

CBSE Class 12 Biology Paper Analysis 2018

 

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted the class 12 Biology board exam today, March 27.

Biology deals with the study of life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical composition, function, development, and evolution.

All the students who appeared for the Class 12 Biology Board Exam found the paper a bit tricky but all the questions were asked from NCERT textbook itself.

While speaking to India Today Education, students who had come to appear for the board examination at a Noida school said, "Except for 1-mark questions, the overall paper was easy."

No repeated questions:

Another student said, "The paper was easy but none of the last year questions were repeated in the examination."

Completed paper before time:

Meanwhile, many students said that they completed the paper 15 minutes before.

5-mark questions: Easy

Furthermore, in comparison to other sections of the paper, the 5-mark questions were very easy to solve.

Detailed analysis by board examiner:

In conversation with India Today Education, Piyali Chatterjee Sen, the Head Board examiner of Biology for six years, with 25 years of teaching experience said, "This year's paper is definitely difficult for the average and below average students unlike last year where the paper was totally predictable."

Nothing out of NCERT:

Further, the questions were from intricate corners of NCERT and eveything was asked from prescribed syllabus itself.
"Only NCERT is enough but thorough reading required," said Piyali Chatterjee Sen.

HOT questions:

In comparison to other sections, HOTS questions were more in number and partly tricky.

Indirect questions:

Moreover, the board examiner said that questions were rather indirect than really difficult.

Expected score:

Scoring 90 per cent to 100 per cent marks will be difficult, compared to other years. However, fail percentage should be less.
Easier value based questions:
Moreover, two and three marks questions were mixed bag types whereas value based four marks question was easier compared to other years.

Diagram based questions:

Since past two years, diagram based questions are not coming. "Diagrams are the basic essence of Biology," Piyali Chatterjee Sen added.

Paper pattern and marking scheme:

Total marks: 70 marks (5 sections)

Section A: 5 questions of 1 mark

Section B: 5 questions of 2 marks

Section C: 12 questions of 3 marks

Section D: 1 question for 4 marks (Value based question)

Beating the cheating: CBSE to introduce metal detectors at JEE-Mains exam centres to frisk students

• IndiaToday.in | New Delhi | March 25, 2018

The Central Board of Secondary Education has set up metal detectors for students appearing for the prestigious Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains, which will take place on April 8, 2018 all over India.

According to CBSE coordinator Balvinder Singh, the stringent system is introduced in order to prevent candidates from carrying electronic devices which are being used for cheating and wrong deeds.

What all will the metal detectors detect?

The bug or metal detectors provided for frisking should be able to detect any prohibited metallic or electronics devices, copper, aluminium, silver, wire, cell battery, watch battery, miniature electronic gadget or photovoltaic equipment, etc.
"The banned items include mobile phone, electronic watch and calculators," Balvinder said.
Earlier, several students have been found using Bluetooth devices in different examination centres across the country. Such electronic devices help candidates to stay connected with people outside the exam hall and seek answer for the questions.

Students must carry proper identification documents

CBSE has also directed examinees to carry their admit cards, Aadhar cards, passport or any other identification document in order to be allowed in the examination centres.
Over 1.3 million students have registered their names for JEE Mains 2018.

CBSE Class 12 Maths exam 2018: Balanced paper but lengthy

Nothing was out of the syllabus and there was no surprise element. The paper was mostly based on the concepts given in NCERT. After a long time the question paper was entirely based on the sample paper issued by CBSE.

By: Express Web Desk | New Delhi | Updated: March 21, 2018 6:58 pm

CBSE class 12 students appeared for their maths paper today, on March 21. Considered a challenging but scoring subject, the paper this year was found to be quite easy and straightforward by the students. Some students found the paper a little lengthy, most of the students finished it on time as the questions were mainly NCERT based. Nothing was out of the syllabus and there was no surprise element. The paper was mostly based on the concepts given in NCERT.

This was after a long time that the question paper was entirely based on the sample paper issued by CBSE. Six mark questions in section D were exactly from the NCERT. Difficulty level and applications of concepts in most of the questions were as per expectations of average students.

Section wise review

Section A 

Three questions were direct but question on binary operations was slightly twisted.

Section B

Most of the questions were same or similar as given in NCERT exercises. CBSE has set the paper very carefully keeping all the norms and parameter in minds.

Section C 

Section C was slightly lengthy and students might have faced problem in solving questions on ‘properties of determinants’ and ‘differential equations’. Question based on ‘tangent and normal’ was also slightly twisted to test the students’ knowledge in depth.

Section D

Section D which constitutes long answer questions proved to be the easiest. Questions were asked from the expected topics like equivalence relations, elementary operations, solving linear equation of three variable by matrix methods, application of integrals, limit of sum and linear programming. All these questions were of average difficulty level.

Mr Rajshekhar Ratrey, VP, Educational content, Toppr.com said, “Questions on three-dimensional geometry and different equations were comparatively easy than last year. Marks’ weightage was similar as compared to that of last year. Maximum number of questions were from vector algebra, determinants and probability. Achieving 70-80 marks out of 100 is easy”.

Most students are satisfied with their performance. An average student who would have prepared well, with his concepts cleared, can easily score above 90 and bright students can obtain full 100 marks.

Ranjhum Goel, student of Manav Rachna International School said, ”If students have gone through NCERT and exemplar, it would be very easy to score 90 plus marks in this paper. Those who have studied NCERT thoroughly and have practiced the last 10 years question papers, they would have found the paper easy”.

Overall analysis

The paper was very balanced and smartly designed to test all the basic understanding of the concepts. Overall, the  question paper tested the students on every skill like knowledge, understanding and application of concepts.

CBSE schools to have daily physical education class for Std IX-XII pupils

CBSE board has directed all its schools to reserve one period daily from 2018-19 academic year for physical education for Std IX-XII. It wants to ‘mainstream’ the subject for holistic development of students.

Health and physical education (HPE) will be a mandatory for all schools and CBSE will release curriculum details.

CBSE’s chairperson Anita Karwal wrote to schools: “CBSE has decided to mainstream HPE with the aim of holistic development of the child, leading to a well-balanced individual in all walks of life”.

Principals of CBSE schools in the city aren’t happy with the last-minute change. “Students will enjoy more time for sports, but not if the curriculum has theory about physical education,” said the principal of a school in the western suburbs.

“In Mumbai, we might not have enough space to have a PE class for everyone everyday..” Principals also worry this will eat into academic time. “Especially for classes X and XII which are board-exam years, it will disrupt their regular lessons,” said Kalpana Diwedi, principal, St Joseph High School, Panvel.
