(3) Overall, the Papers were of Moderate Level as per students.

Analysis of B. Arch Paper(2A):

• Part-I- Mathematics had total 30*questions – Sec-I had 20 Multiple choice questions with Single correct answers & Sec-II had 10 Numerical based questions out which only 5 had to be attempted. Marking scheme for both multiple choice questions and numerical based questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 if not attempted.

(* 5 out of 10 Numerical based questions in Mathematics had to be attempted)

• Part-II- Aptitude Section had total 50 questions – There were 50 Multiple choice questions with Single correct answers. Marking scheme for multiple choice questions was +4 for correct response, -1 for incorrect response, 0 if not attempted. Total marks of this section were 200.

• Part-III- Drawing Section had 2 questions each of 50 marks. Total marks of this section were 100.

• The level of difficultly of JEE Main Paper-2 (B. Arch) was Moderate as per feedback from students

  • Mathematics – Moderate to Difficult level. Students reported that Numerical based had few lengthy questions involving calculations. More weightage given to Chapter of 3 D Geometry.
