JMET-2011 Analysis

JMET 2011 (for admission into IITs’batch starting 2011) was conducted on Sunday, 12th Dec, 2010. Like last years’ papers there was no surprise in the paper. It was a mix of easy to moderate difficulty level questions, hence maximizing the number of attempts was important. Sectional cut-offs were also set to be quite low, so it was important to spend more time with one’s comfort zone. Out of total 120questions, one should have attempted 90-95 in order to be at a safe score of around 80, which ideally should be the cut-off for admission into IITs this year. One change, however, which could be noticed in this year’s JMET was, good number of moderate difficulty level questions.

Total Number of Questions: 120
Total Number of Sections: 4
