Engg entrance exam surprises students
Chandigarh, April 30 However, the paper trend was much different this year. "The trend of the AIEEE has changed drastically as this time the thrust was more on XI syllabus and not on class XII syllabus", said Prof. S. C. Gupta, a physics lecturer. The maths paper too came as a surprise to the students. "The paper was not as per the earlier trend. There used to be 60 questions in mathematics, but this year the number of questions in maths was only 40 that too of unequal marks,'' said Professor Rajni Gupta, a mathematics lecturer. She added that nothing was mentioned about the negative marking though the paper was otherwise well-balanced in terms of syllabus. Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, Varun Singla, a student, who took the exam, said he was a bit unsure about
the composition of the paper, yet he had put equal emphasis on all three subjects. ``I feel that I should qualify with a good rank", said Varun.
