New Delhi: Good news for all AIEEE aspirants who’ve opted for the online version! From 2012, the online mode of All India Engineering Entrance Examination, commonly referred to as AIEEE, will offer a plethora of new features, not offered by the offline version. All those students who’ll be writing the AIEEE online exam will have the choice of changing the language as many times as they desire during the entire duration of the exam. With this, students can attempt the multiple choice questions while switching from one language to another i.e. English to Hindi and vice versa, as per their convenience.
As per sources, this additional and convenient feature will allow the student to switch over Hindi language and answer the question in case he/she is unable to understand the same in English. Further, the format can yet again be switched back to English to continue the rest of the paper. The online version permits the student to switch the language any number of times. To top it all, the switching will not affect the evaluation process of the exam paper in any manner. Upon completion of the online exam, a copy of the question paper will be automatically e-mailed to the students.
Considering the offline mode, this convenient feature of switching the language is only available to students who opt to write the paper in Hindi medium, since the questions come in both the languages - English and Hindi. However, students willing to give the exam in English medium are not offered this advantage. The schedule of the AIEEE 2012 will provide a month’s advantage to prepare for students writing the online version compared to those who’ve chosen the offline mode. The online AIEEE will be conducted from May 7 to May 26, while the offline counterpart is scheduled to be held on April 29, 2012. To add to the advantageous features of online AIEEE, the three-hour long exam paper will be conducted twice a day, the morning session starting at 9 am and afternoon one at 2 pm.
However, many coaching institutes state that the benefits of online AIEEE are not very beneficial and hence, suggest students to take the offline test. According to Abhishek Bansal, owner of private coaching center, the nature of the questions is of utmost importance, rather than the mode of the exam. Furthermore, factors like language medium and frequency of exam are minor issues, which should not affect the results, as long as the students have prepared themselves with the best knowledge, he concluded.
