Last Minute Tips for cracking AIEEE

AIEEE 2011

The All India Engineering Entrance Exam is recommended and considered to be a highly competitive exam for those aspiring to get admission to NITs and other top colleges. Therefore students start preparing for it much before the actual entrance examination. AIEEE is conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Therefore the syllabus of AIEEE is from CBSE Class 11 and 12 syllabus.

Exam pattern

BE/ B.Tech: The exam is of three-hour duration with objective questions in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with equal importance given to each subject. Each question will have four options. There is a negative marking of 1/4th marks also for incorrect answers.

B.Arch/B.Planning: The exam is of three-hour duration comprising three parts: Mathematics, Aptitude test and Drawing test. While Mathematics and Aptitude test will have objective questions and the drawing test will have questions to check the drawing aptitude.

Engineering/ Architecture Entrance Examinations (AIEEE) is amongst the most prominent exams for admission in engineering/architecture Bachelor's courses throughout most of the leading engineering/architecture institutes across the country. Hence, AIEEE is the most popular engineering Entrance examination for BE/ B.Tech aspiring students. Every year a huge number of students participate in this exam to get admission in the various reputed NITs and State-level institutes. You must practise a good number of problems in each subject, develop a very good speed in problem solving and be accurate in calculations and marking OMR.

For AIEEE, one will have to learn some tricks to solve all questions in the stipulated time frame.

AIEEE Last-minute tips

There are certain strategies you must follow to maximise your score:

• The examination may have different marking for different questions. One of the earlier versions of AIEEE had questions of this nature. Read the instructions carefully and understand the relative difficulty levels.
• In case all the questions carry equal marks, then the strategy should be based on time management i.e. identify those must do questions initially which you can easily do.
• Make sure that you identify those must do questions from each of the subjects - Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics irrespective of the question paper order.
• Study and analyse the IIT-JEE 2011 paper as accurately as possible so that you are able to answer similar questions if asked in your AIEEE paper.
• While solving the AIEEE paper, you have to be quick. Don't waste more than half- an- hour to 45 minutes in Chemistry. While solving the paper, most of the questions would be theoretical which requires less solving. Don't waste more than one hour in Physics and utilise the time in Mathematics.
• One last thing one should remember before taking this exam is don't get nervous while solving the paper. Even if you have attempted 70 per cent of the paper, it's enough to get a rank in Top 1000.
