Errors creep in AIEEE too

Errors creep in AIEEE too


HYDERABAD: Much like the IIT-Joint Entrance Examination which had printing mistakes in its Optical Mark Reader sheet, AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Examination) conducted for admissions into National Institutes of Technologies (NITs) and Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) confused students who wrote the examination on Sunday with its printing mistakes.

In the examination which was conducted in over 30 centres in the city, two questions (questions 40 and 59) had the same answer listed as two separate options. In question number 59 of Type A question paper which asked the students to spot the correct mirror image from among the given options, identical figures were given under both the options A and B.

Also in question number 40 two of the options given in the answer section were the same.
“Sans the errors the examination was quiet simple this year with many familiar questions,” said K V Raghunath, vice chairman, Narayana Group of Institutions.

Over 1.2 lakh students appeared for AIEEE examinations from the state here on Sunday with around 60,000 appearing for the B Arch examinations which was held from 2 pm to 5 pm. The B Tech and BE examination of AIEEE was held from 9.30 am to 12.30 pm

Also, several students failed to complete B Tech and BE section of AIEEE on time due to a slight change in the pattern of question paper. With Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), which conducts the exam, introducing differential marking (questions carrying both four marks and eight marks) after a long time, several students were left wondering on how to manage time during the three hour test.

The examination which had 90 questions (30 in each section) carrying 432 marks, 18 questions carried eight marks while the rest carried four marks. According to several students, the eight mark questions which were mostly unexpected, were lengthy and tough to crack.

“Each of the eight mark questions had several levels of reasoning and application and hence they took more time to crack than the usual ones,” said a student who wrote examination from Yasodha College of Engineering.

Several students found the Mathematics section easier than the previous years while the Physics and Chemistry sections did have a few surprises. “Physics required sound conceptual understanding where questions were more difficult. However, Mathematics section of the question paper was easy when compared to the previous year,” said Ajay Anthony, AIEEE course coordinator, TIME.

After chaos at IIT-JEE, relief for students at AIEEE

After chaos at IIT-JEE, relief for students at AIEEE

Mumbai: After the recent IIT-JEE chaos, engineering aspirants across the state were relieved after appearing for the All India Engineering/Architecture Entrance Examination (AIEEE) held on Sunday. The exam, which is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) board, is for securing admissions to BE/Btech and BArch/Bplanning in various institutes.
Majority of the 12 lakh students, who attempted the entrance test, found it difficult but were of the opinion that the test was better than the IIT-JEE. “The test was definitely easier than the IIT-JEE even though it was lengthy. There were no baffling mistakes in AIEEE. The paper was for 432 marks and it went off smoothly without any hiccups,” said Pravin Tyagi, MD, IITian Pace.
However, since the test is based on the NCERT prescribed CBSE syllabus, most students from the state board had a tough time. “I found it difficult and don’t have much hopes of scoring well in the test. I hope my CET score gets me a seat in one of the city’s engineering colleges,” said Monil Shah, a student from Vile Parle, who appeared at the DAV Public School, Nerul.
The results of AIEEE are likely to be declared on, or before June 7. There are over 150 engineering colleges in India that admit students on the basis of AIEEE scores. Apart from the National Institute of Technology (NIT), every engineering college admits nine students under the all-India quota through the AIEEE score.

Now it's time for competitive exams

Now it's time for competitive exams

Concentrating: With hard work, students of all streams can crack the AIEEE, experts note.
Students to take All India Engineering Entrance Examination on Sunday
For class XII students, the end of board examinations marks the beginning of a series of competitive examinations.
This Sunday, students aspiring to make it to professional institutes such as the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) will take the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
“There is a notion that students of the state board tend to find the AIEEE paper difficult. But, it is not all that difficult,” according to T.M. Soundararajan, mathematics teacher, Sri Ahobila Mutt Oriental School.
Observing that the State Board syllabus and the CBSE syllabus have a lot in common, he says: “The CBSE stream has more sums and because students are exposed to them, they may have an edge.”
However, with the trend of preparing for multiple competitive examinations becoming popular among students of all streams, many are well equipped.
Gulsar Ahamed, a student of DAV Matriculation, has just given his class XII examinations. Busy preparing for the AIEEE, he says: “I did not enrol for any coaching class for AIEEE since I have been attending classes for the IIT-JEE for the last two years. I do not find the AIEEE particularly difficult,” he says.
However, some of Gulsar's friends, who did not go for JEE coaching, attended classes for AIEEE. “Many have enrolled for crash courses now,” he added.
Largely based on the CBSE syllabus, the AIEEE has two papers. While paper I (physics, chemistry and mathematics) is for students interested in B.E and B.Tech programmes, Paper II (mathematics, aptitude and drawing) is for students aiming to pursue B. Arch or B. Planning programmes.
However, the AIEEE is more popular among students going to private schools. Some government school students are unaware of the opportunities that they will get if they perform well in such competitive examinations, say teachers. “Most of them think that the only way to make it to engineering colleges is through counselling. They do not know of the JEE, AIEEE or entrance examinations conducted by the deemed universities,” she said.
Also, as a parent points out, the fees that coaching centres charge for competitive examinations runs into several thousand rupees.
Asked if she knew about the AIEEE, class XII student S. Geetha, going to a government-aided school, says: “No. I only know that if I score well, I might get engineering admissions. Otherwise, I will have to take up a B.Sc course.”

AIEEE Test Pattern


CBSE has designed AIEEE exam to assess candidate's awareness, imagination, observation, creativity and architectural awareness. It would consist of two papers. The first paper is divided into three parts of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics of equal weightage with objective type questions ment for BE/B.Tech courses and second paper would consist of Mathematics, Aptitude Test and Drawing for B. Architecture and B. Planning. The objective type question holds four options having single right answer. One fourth (1/4) of the total marks allotted to the question would be subtracted for incorrect answering. The candidates can now answer the paper either in English or in Hindi.

No AIEEE, IIT JEE and other Entrance Exams by 2013

No AIEEE, IIT JEE and other Entrance Exams by 2013



By 2013, there will only be one single examination for entrance to engineering and medical colleges in the country. Said Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal.



The plan to have a common, single examination for all medical and engineering colleges means creating a test on the lines of the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) conducted in the United States.Gradually, such an exam would be extended for entry to colleges of other disciplines, such as law.



Currently, each state holds separate entrance tests for admissions to engineering courses while the IITs and NITs have separate tests. Similarly, there are multiple examinations for admissions into medical colleges held by the centre and states.



The HRD ministry feels that a common entrance test will smoothen the admission process as students will not end up having to write exams repeatedly. A task force to work out the modalities will be set up by the ministry.
