Thousands of students walked out of their respective examination centres in the city with the hope of making it to coveted IITs after trying their luck at the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE)- Mains 2013 on Sunday.
In the context of the industrial city, 44,000 students appeared in IIT Mains at 68 designated centres in the city amid tight security. The first exam was conducted from 9.30 am to 12.30 pm. In the post lunch session, Mathematics Part I, Aptitude Test Part-II and Drawing Test Part-III were held from 2 pm to 4 pm. A large number of students had come to Kanpur from Lucknow, Allahabad, Sitapur, Etawah, Barabanki, Unnao and other neighbouring districts. For these students, the exam was especially hectic due to the travel and because it was a warm day.
In order to ensure that no 'Munnabhais' appears in the premier exam, thumb impression of the students was taken to cross-check the identity of the students. The students were also asked to produce the marksheet or the admit card of class 12th exam.
The reaction to the question paper was mixed. Several IIT-JEE aspirants told TOI that questions based on Physics were tough and lengthy, whereas questions pertaining to Maths and Chemistry were not as complex as expected. Dheeraj Jaiswal, a student who had come to appear in the exam from Sitapur said, "There were more theory questions than numericals. There were a total of 90 questions which we were to solve in three hours. Negative marking made the exam tough." He termed the AIEEE paper of last year to be easier than JEE Mains.
Shivam Mathur, a student of St Aloysius school in Cantt, termed the exam easy. "My wish is to study in IIT and hopefully, I will be able to crack the exam," Shivam said.
Anurag Yadav, a CBSE Board student from Etawah who appeared for the exam at Halim Muslim Inter College termed said the physics section of the paper was numerical based and a bit too lengthy. His words were echoed by Awadesh Kumar from Barabanki.
On the other hand, Ashish Ramtri from Lucknow did not like the idea of giving 40% weightage to board marks in the exam, saying that it was not right to consider board marks in a competitive exam like JEE Mains.Deepak, a resident of Deoria said, "The exam was exhaustive but manageable. I am not hundred percent sure that I will be able to crack the exam, but I have done better this time in comparison to last year. I am keeping my fingers crossed." Yash, a resident of Lal Bangla, Kanpur while talking to TOI said, "It was my first attempt but I am hopeful of getting through. The examination was very concept-based and therefore, only those who had their fundamentals clear will sail through."
This year, for the first time, JEE is being conducted in two parts- JEE Mains and JEE Advanced.
While JEE Mains was conducted by CBSE, JEE Advanced will be conducted by Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) on June 2. A total of 1.5 lakh students who crack JEE Mains will be given an opportunity to appear in JEE Advanced. Those figuring in the merit list will subsequently be given an opportunity to seek admission in premier IITs in the country. There are a total of 10,000 seats in the IITs.
