The process of allotment of seat to the JEE (main) meritorious students for 2015-15 will be facilitated by NIT Patna. The joint seat allocation process for admissions to IITs and NITs had to be postponed twice, increasing the agony of over 11 lakh students who are eligible for counselling to 85 technical institutes including 18 IITs and 31 NITs.

According to the Joint Seat Allocation Authority 2015, registration and filling in of choices in their portal can begin at least two to three hours after CBSE announces the ranks. "The announcement of the all-India ranks were delayed due to failure of six-seven school board to furnish the particulars and weightage of the individual students. Although they were asked to submit the details by June 25, they could not do so which led to the delay in releasing the ranking list," officials in CBSE said earlier this evening.

However, they added since the particulars have been received from the state, CBSE is in the process of finalising the list. As per the revised schedule, online registration and choices of seats would continue up to July 3 and the first round of seat allocation would be declared on July 5. The joint seat allocation process was to start on June 25, as per the original schedule.

"The candidate may see their result on the website www.jeemain.nic.in and cbseresults.nic.in after 12 noon," CBSE said in statement released on Tuesday night.

Cut-offs for IIT Admissions this year likely to Slide

PUNE: An extremely harsh marking system with two negative marks for wrong answers for over 50% of the questions in the joint entrance examination (JEE) advanced paper on Sunday may see an all-time low in the cut-offs for this year's entrance to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).

Overall, students who took the exam found the maths paper tougher than chemistry and physics, while both papers were reported to be lengthy.

Over 800 candidates from Pune appeared for this examination which was conducted in two sessions for two papers on Sunday. Candidates who clear this test will get a seat in one of the 17 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). The results will be declared on June 18.

The advanced exam had two papers conducted in two sessions, in the morning and at noon. Each paper had 60 questions with 264 marks for Paper I and 240 marks for Paper II. The total marks for the advanced exam was 504 and open category students scoring 176 marks (35%) would be awarded a rank.

Education expert Durgesh Mangeshkar while analysing the paper said the marking system was extremely tough this year and it will surely reflect on the final results. Mangeshkar said, "Out of the 120 questions, 66 had negative marking. These 66 questions were multiple-answer questions and usually, for such questions the IIT would cut either one mark or nothing. However, cutting two marks for every wrong answer is a bit harsh on students."

The 66 multiple answer questions had more than one right answer, so if a student ticks just one or two right answers for a question that has three right answers among the options, then he/she would get two negative marks. In the past, for these questions, the IIT either gave zero negative marks or cut just one mark for a wrong answer. However, the two negative marks cut this year was unsettling.

Sarvesh Shah, a student who attempted the exam, said, "While the questions other than negative marks were easier, they were subjective. I am banking on them. I had to attempt the paper more cautiously than I thought."

Karthik Mahesh, another student who scored 317 marks in the mains examination, said, "I attempted the easier questions first. Some questions in maths were tough, but I attempted all the questions that did not have negative marking."

Vaibhav Bakliwal, who runs a coaching institute for IIT preparation, said, "The marking scheme was very strange this time and it will sharply reflect on the final results. The total marks also increased from 360 last year to 504 this year. Due to this type of marking, the scoring will be low and students who score 380 marks and above will be in top 100 ranks."

Aakash Chaudhry, director of Aakash Educational Services, said, "Overall, the paper was of moderate difficulty as compared to previous years. Out of the three subjects, mathematics portion had lengthier calculations. Paper I was more theoretical as is the case usually. An average student would have been able to attempt the questions with reasonable effort. Paper I did see some drift in the question pattern."

Nasty JEE surprise: Negative marks of 2 with 50% questions

MUMBAI: JEE (Advanced), conducted on Sunday, had a surprise in store. Half the questions in papers I and II put together carried negative marking of two. It applied on section II of paper I and sections II and III of paper II. Negative marking is a feature of JEE, but it has never exceeded one mark in recent years.

On Sunday, students said most multiple-choice questions had negative marking. Also, the paper was tougher than last year. Teachers said it was conceptually strong and well-balanced, though not very student-friendly. They said many students may not have attempted some questions, fearing negative marks. Considering all factors, cut-offs may dip this year. Over 1.2 lakh students took the test.

Devansh Shah, a student of PACE Junior College, said, "Though there was no major change in the pattern, the marking scheme made the paper tougher." An IIT-Bombay official said, "Ranks are relative, so the difficulty level of the question paper will not have a negative impact."

VVN Acharya, the physics HOD of a coaching institute, said the IITs rarely deduct two marks for a wrong answer. "I remember that one of the years the IITs had similar negative marking pattern was 2006."

Aakash Chaudhry, director of a national coaching institute, said, "Paper II was much easier than paper I and all questions were straightforward, involving less calculations in the physics section. But passage-based questions had multiple correct answers with negative marking."

Ramesh Batlish, from another coaching institute, said, "Because of negative marking in multiple choice questions, students found the paper to be lengthy."

Negative marks in IIT-JEE for aspirants

Chennai: Students who appeared for the IIT joint entrance examination this year, conducted on Sunday, were disappointed as there was 50 per cent negative marking and the total marks for the examination conducted was 504, against the 360 that is awarded every year.

According to some students, last year, there was no negative marking for paper-I, which was for 180 marks. But, this year, except for the first eight questions, there was negative marking for every other question.

Most of them found Mathematics in paper-I to be tough and lengthy, compared to Chemistry and Physics. Students found paper-II to be relatively easier than paper-I but Physics was tough. Paper-I and II taken together were given total marks of 360 till last year. But, this time, the division of marks was 264 for paper-I and 240 for paper-II, totaling 504.

The marking pattern was such that plus four marks are awarded for correct answers and minus two for incorrect answers. Therefore, if there is a mistake, one goes down by six marks.

S. Abhiram, a student of Modern senior secondary school in Velachery, said it is because of the drastic change in pattern this year that he found the exam difficult — especially Maths.

"There was no single answer but all multiple choices and there was negative marking. Therefore, it means a person has to know all the answers - only then can he attempt it. The multiple choices required more time," he said. Yet, he is confident of getting through. For Abhik Biswas, a student from Chennai public school in Anna Nagar, the question paper was unexpected.

"I went through the question papers for 2008 and 2009 which were tough. But this year’s paper was the toughest. For 10 minutes I went blank. On top of it, negative marking was worrisome," he said. His mother, Ratna Biswas, said he had been working hard for the past two years for IIT but is really disappointed with this year’s paper.

K.K. Anand, founder of a training centre called Smart (Science and Mathematics of Academy for Real Talents) said, “IIT has the habit of changing patterns every year but 50 per cent negative marking is unheard-of which kind of panicked the students. But the students should also be psychologically prepared to face the surprise. They should have the capability to accept the challenge.”

Aakash Chaudhry, director of Aakash Institute, said of the three subjects in paper-I, Mathematics had long calculations. It was more theoretical rather than application based.
