EAMCET 2011 ANALYSIS_EAMCET 2011 WENT IITJEE WAY

Engineering stream
of Eamcet-2011 went the IIT-JEE
way with the questions
demanding an in-depth
understanding of the subjects.
Much like the pattern followed by
IIT paper setters, most questions
were numeric and problem-
based rather than theory-based.
Eamcet-2011 was held on
Sunday across the state with
2,70,022 students appearing for
the engineering exam while
65,315 appeared for the medical
stream.


Experts said students who took
training to crack IIT-Joint
Entrance Examination (JEE) would
have a clear edge over others.
According to them, the MPC
(engineering stream) paper
proved to be a challenging one
even for top ranking students.
"Students expect mostly straight
forward and theory-based
questions in Eamcet. But this
year, the paper setters brought
in an element of surprise with
questions that demanded high
IQ levels to solve. After being put
through an IIT paper that was
full of errors, Eamcet engineering
stream paper came as a whiff of
fresh air," said A Krishna Kumar,
IIT and Eamcet expert, Narayana
Group of Institutions. While in
previous Eamcets the top rankers
used to score 100 per cent
marks, this year it would be
difficult to achieve this, he said.
Among the three subjects for the
engineering stream, Physics was
tough, many students said.
In contrast, the BPC (medical
stream) followed the old pattern
with questions to check the rote
learning ability of the student.
"Botany section was quite
lengthy and students would have
spent over one hour to solve just
this part," said Jaganmohan Rao,
Eamcet medical stream expert,
Narayana Group of Institutions.
The medical paper was set to
judge the time management
ability of the students, officials
said.
As per the initial analysis, experts
said not many questions were
found to be ambiguous.
Nevertheless, in the medical
stream, Question No. 105 (Code
C) confused students as the
answer could not be derived at.
While the answer for this
question was supposed to be
25,000 calories, the options
given were different, they said.
Similarly, the options given in
Question no 91 (Code B) of
Physics did not have the correct
answer. Question No. 57 of the
same code seemed to have
multiple answers (both options
three and four). "In the
engineering stream, Question No.
89 (Code D) in Physics section
was found to be ambiguous as
variables given were not defined
well," said K V Raghunath, an
Eamcet expert.
Eamcet authorities, however,
stated that both the question
papers were without any errors.
M V Ramana Rao, convener,
Eamcet-2011 said that initial
question paper key for the
examination will be released on
May 25 and final key and Eamcet
results will be announced before
June 10.
D N Reddy, chairman,
Eamcet stated that Eamcet ranks
will be announced by July 2.
Councelling will start on July 15.
