New Delhi: This year, IIT JEE conducted on Sunday i.e. on April 11, 2010, incorporates major blunder as pointed out by Rajeev Kumar, Professor of Computer Science, IIT Kharagpur. He also claims a clever student can get 93 marks without any preparation.
IIT- Madras, which conducted the JEE this year, however, is dubious about this claim. As per sources, Mr Kumar has been pointing out problems with JEE for the past four years and has even gone to the Delhi High Court.
Mr Kumar pointed out that Paper I had 28 questions each in Maths, Physics and Chemistry, of three marks each, divided into four sections. He has raised concerns about Section II. The section had five questions of three marks each, one or more correct answers (partial marking) and no negative marking for incorrect answers. He further says that if a candidate darkened all the circles then he could deserve full credits.
Kumar, however, points out that the instructions say something else. Further, he argues that nowhere do the instructions say that four choices cannot be correct. Neither the instructions clearly states that one cannot mark all the choices. Further, in order to support his claim, he gives another example from section IV of paper II, with two questions of eight marks each.
