NCHMCT JEE 2015: Difficulty Level

Deepto Choudhary who took NCHMCT JEE 2015 exam from a test centre at Kolkata shared that, “Numerical ability was not good and GK was also not so good. I left many questions from GK and Maths. All the other sections were very good”. Elaborating on the difficulty level of the exam he said, “Service Aptitude and Reasoning was awesome and English was a bit lengthy. But I managed to complete all the questions in English”.

On the same line, Nilesh Vishwakarma who took the test from Bhubaneswara said, “My paper went very well. I was expecting to get a rank among the top 500 but now I feel that I can rank in the top 250 also. My paper went good”. Nilesh also shared that students were not given the NCHMCT JEE question paper after the exam as the centre authorities took the paper also with the answer sheet.

Talking about the questions asked in different sections of the exam, Nilesh informed that “English section had maximum question. In English no other questions were asked just 5-6 passages were there. No questions were asked from idioms, correct the sentence, spelling mistake etc.” He further shared that he aspires to get through to IHM Goa and worked very hard to perform well in this JEE. He also said, “I did not know 5-6 questions so I did not attempt those, my teacher had advised me not to attempt any question I wasn’t sure of as there is negative marking in the exam”.  

But Nilesh totally opposed the claim that the paper was lengthy. “I finished my exam in one and a half hour but the test centre authorities did not allow me to leave the exam hall till 1 pm”, he said.
