Entrance Exam : IIT JEE : Expect Lower cutoff this year
Candidates were in for a few surprises as the IIT Joint Entrance Examination on Sunday puzzled them with a change in the pattern of the question papers.
This year cut-offs are likely to be lower than last year, one of the reasons being that the paper was relatively more difficult. This has been decided by the IIT directors to increase the 40% relaxation in scores to 50% from 2009.
While the end of the first half saw many smiling faces, Mathematics seemed to get the better of students in the second half. Like last year, the pattern of questions in Mathematics was again different.
The IIT-JEE paper had two papers, the first paper consisting 60 questions and 80 marks per subject with total 240 marks. Paper two had 57 questions with total 240 marks.
Most of the students found Maths paper difficult to do.
