It’s IIT-JEE after CAT Fiasco
|
 | Last Year CAT 2009 was in news for all the wrong reasons and then a debate began how India cannot embrace technology in it’s education policy. Many called CAT 2009 as a disaster and unfair and asked for retake of exam in pen and paper mode. But here again, one of the biggest exam IIT-JEE 2010 witnessed goof up in it’s pen and paper avatar leaving students bewildered. On April 11, 2010 IIT-JEE exam was conducted all over India. In the question paper the order of subjects on the question paper didn’t match the sequence on the answer sheet. As per sources, while the question paper had the first 28 questions from physics, followed by an equal number of questions from chemistry and mathematics, the ORS sheet (objective response sheet) had a different sequence of subjects. | |
"In my center, the invigilator first asked us to mark the answer according to the headings on the ORS sheet. But after an hour, the official communications from the IITs was read out, which was contrary to what the supervisor had instructed," said Siddant Deshpande, who took the exam in Navi Mumbai.
In one of the 10 codes of the Hindi version of paper 1, a question was not printed. But according to JEE Madras, steps would be taken to make sure that the candidates's score does not suffer.
Few students are calling this goof up as testing presence of mind and few are calling it a blunder.
For sure JEE management would take care that students don’t suffer for printing mistakes. |
