subject: Iit Exam [print this page] IIT EXAM, If the feeling of being Proud and the reward for a students hard work were to be personified, then it would be the clearing of the iit exam. Considered the toughest exam amongst all the Engineering entrance exams, the iit exam pattern is surely the uncrowned king of all the exams. It is the primary examination and the basis of a students attempt of getting in to one of the 16 institutions of IIT. Being the most demanding, in all possible ways, be it because of the way the paper is made, the manner it is conducted in or the results that it finally yields. With an astonishing selection ratio of 1 selected out of every 60 appearing, one thing is universally approved- one who has qualified the iit exam with flying colors is an epitome of dedication, hard work and applicable knowledge.
There are reasons why we consider applicable knowledge as an epitome over knowledge, and the reasons are instances like iit exam results 2012 and other results that really proved that if you are ready to work hard, you will get your share of success, no matter which status of society you belong to. Also the iit exam paper 2011 and papers of before were papers that tested the real applied knowledge of a student rather than allowing him / her to adhere to any guess work or wild marking. There is another big reason why students cannot adhere to guess works or other techniques, because all the iit exam papers, including the iit exam 2012, have a positive and negative marks reward system.
The iit exam pattern of marking is based on the +3, -1 marking scheme. The correct answers get a +3, the wrongly marked get a -1 and the unmarked or left questions get a zero. This is a factor in filtering those who go by guessing from those who actually solve and mark answers. The iit exam paper 2011 was a prime example where this negative marking scheme benefitted those who had attempted comparatively lesser questions but had done them all correctly and thereby secured good marks. This effect also reflected in the iit exam 2012 and thus has become a catalyst in ensuring that any IIT aspirant works hard to earn his marks and the deserving one gets the apt rewards and opportunity to fulfill his dreams.
As they say, every year is a fresh beginning. The iit exam 2012 or of any year for that matter, are a symbol of a fresh beginning, a fresh beginning of new dreams, new competitors, new patters of iit exam 2012 question paper, new cut offs and the attachment of innumerable hopes of family and friends on the shoulders of young aspirants.
As any and every science stream student enters his 10+2 studies, the primary and motivating dream is the dream of clearing the entrance exam and taking admission in to one of the 16 IITs. In 2011, the seats available in the IITs were approximately 7000 which made people do a thoughtless argument that may be this entrance exam will lose its tough competition because of more seats being available, but 2011 saw more than 5Lac aspirants appearing for the exam, thereby increasing the selection ratio and putting an end to the arguments. The iit exam 2012 result was awe inspiring when the number of girls getting good ranks doubled and the competition was a very tightly coupled one.
