Everything About Entrance Examinations and How to Prepare For it

It is a Common Practice nowadays where children are being sent to either Engineering or Medical Field without their own interest.Be it Engineering or Medicine,inorder to perform well in Entrance Examinations One Should prepare From the very first day when he chooses his career.It's important for one to be ready to face the examinations as this is the most important turning point in your life.You should take this opportunity as your Future depends on it.There are a lot of Engineering and Medical Entrance Examinations being conducted every year in India.Each of them has its own criteria and one should know about it before appearing for the exam.

AIEEE

The All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE), is an examination organized by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India. Introduced in the year 2002, this national level competitive test is for admission to various under-graduate engineering and architecture courses in institutes accepting the AIEEE score, including 20 prestigious NITs. Students opting for B.Tech. are tested in physics, mathematics and chemistry. The test duration is 3 hours but maximum marks and the number of questions vary every year. However equal weightage is given to all the three sections. Students opting for B.Arch. are tested in mathematics and an aptitude test. It is held in the final Sunday of April and results are announced near the end of May. Candidates are ranked on an all India basis and also according to their position in state. Thus, they have an All India Rank (AIR) and a state rank (SR).

Entrance examination would consist of two papers i.e. 1st paper consisting of three parts of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics of equal weightage with objective type questions for BE/B.Tech courses and 2nd paper – consisting of Mathematics,Aptitude Test and Drawing for B. Architecture and B. Planning. The Aptitude Test is designed to evaluate candidate’s perception, imagination, observation, creativity and architectural awareness.

Scoring and Negative Marking

There will be objective type questions with four options having single correct answer. For each incorrect response one fourth (1/4) of the total marks allotted to the question would be deducted. No deduction from the total score will, however, be made if no response is indicated for an item in the answer sheet. The candidates are advised not to attempt such item in the answer sheet if they are not sure of the correct response. More than one answer indicated against a question will be deemed as incorrect response and will be negatively marked. All objective type questions are required to be answered on specially designed machine gradable answer sheets. Answers are to be marked using ball point pen (black/blue) only. For the purpose of evaluation, Test Booklet Code as printed in the Answer Sheet on Side-2 will be accepted as final.

Subject combination for each paper & type of questions in each paper are given in the table below :

	SUBJECTS	TYPE OF QUESTIONS
Paper 1	Physics,Chemistry & Mathematics	Objective type questions with equal weightage to Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics
Paper 2	Mathematics-Part I Aptitude Test-Part II & Drawing test-Part III	Objective type Question Objective Type Question Questions to test drawing aptitude
