Expert’s take: Cut off to rise

“Maths section was easier in regards previous years' examinations. Aptitude section was also easy as per expectations of students. Some questions were time consuming. Most students have done fairly well in the examination. Hence, cut off for B Plan and B Arch is set to rise.

There were total 100 questions for students attempting JEE for B Plan. For B Arch, students had to attempt two additional questions of drawing. From 100 questions, 25 were from Math, 50 from Aptitude and 25 from Planning.”
