IIT JEE , AIEEE Forum - Institutes & Courses , Counselling Zone - wahat do u think wuold be the cut off for jee-08....???

asish

wat wud u think bottom 20%be

anpm_dev

what's the differnce btw subject wise cutoffs and overall cutoff

Admin

Guys expected approximate cutoff is coming out to be as follows:

Physics - 51
Chemistry - 45
Maths - 35

Total approx 135.

Lot of cut-off values from many institutions will be pouring in soon.. so will assimilate the same and discuss.

cheers

Sir,out of 180-odd,i am getting 97 in Maths...that means i wont clear P and C cutoff...what does this mean???

budokai_tenkaichi

Well i dont think subject cut off gonna matter
they dint matter last yr atleast
so its gonna b ur overall cutoff which needs to b cleard
ne idea wts dat gonna be?

budokai_tenkaichi

ok guys. here's my take on the matter.

here, in bhilai, we(the students) feel that the overall cutoff will be around 130~140.

now, the big ques. is what abt. the ranks??

for example as far as i've heard, the GOOD students have scored some 215~240 odd. and the TOPPERS are all 250+ ....

so, what rank can a guy expect if he's scored some 180~190 odd; 190~200 odd; 200~210 odd??

cheers!

shwetank.

rohi_pars

chemistry 50 marks or a little higher

IIT-JEE cut-offs likely to be low this year too

NEW DELHI: Under the new procedure for IIT-JEE, the cut-off is the highest scored by the bottom 20% of the candidates in each subject. But since such candidates are mostly non-serious, the cut-offs in mathematics, physics and chemistry worked out to no more than 1, 4 and 3, respectively.

Thus, the 2007 procedure has lowered the bar to the point of rendering the cut-off marks meaningless.

Yet, IIT-Roorkee, which is holding the 2008 JEE next month, said the same procedure would continue to be in force. This means, the cut-off marks this year are likely to be as abysmal as those of last year. Despite being world-renowned centres of excellence, the IITs are still far from fixing the problem that has been brought out in the open by RTI.

IIT-JEE cut-off may fall a bit

KOLKATA: More than 3.2 lakh students across the country, a nearly 30% increase over last year?s 2.5 lakh, appeared for the Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) on Sunday for a shot at one of the most coveted 5,500-plus seats across the IITs, the IT-BHU (Institute of Technology-Banaras Hindu University) and ISMU (Indian School of Mines University), Dhanbad.

This, incidentally, was the first big competitive exam after the 27% OBC quota decision in premier higher education institutes was upheld by the Supreme Court. The examination was conducted against the backdrop of the decision, even as institutes are yet to collectively decide how many seats will be increased and made available to each category of students.

Add to that, the promised new IITs - of the eight pledged by the prime minister last year. At least three of those, located in Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Rajasthan are expected to be operational this year. Each of the new IITs is likely to admit 200 students this year. The total number of seats available, thus, may even cross the 7,000 mark, if the first phase of quota is implemented.

IIT Kharagpur JEE chairman AK Ghosh told ET: ?The directors are still meeting with MHRD and details of the OBC issue are still to be decided on. Our institute wanted to maintain the same number of students as last year, but if the 27% OBC reservation is implemented, obviously the number of seats will go up. However, we are not clear about this yet.?

The cut-offs, this year, are expected to be slightly lower than last year. According to TIME vice-president Ajay Antony, ?the cut-off is likely to be 34% overall for an all-India rank. That means the student needs to score around 167 out of a total of 489. Individual cut-offs don?t have much of a bearing for serious students.

We?ve arrived at the figure by comparing the level of difficulty between the 2006, 2007 and 2008 papers and also taking into account the total number of students appearing for the exam. Sharad Awasthi, president and CEO, Career Launcher agreed. ?I think scoring around 160 is likely to get a student a rank.?

Meanwhile, students concentrated on the objective-type IIT-JEE exam, which like last year, consisted of two papers of three hours each. Both had sections on Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, each divided into four parts. Paper I had four sections: straight objective type; multiple correct MCQs; assertion reasoning type and linked comprehension type, the second section being a departure from last year. In Paper II, that section was replaced by last year?s Matrix Match.

The first paper had 69 questions and 82 marks per subject, totalling 246 marks. Paper II, held between 2 pm and 5 pm, had 66 questions, amounting to 243 marks. Maximum marks in both the papers were 489. Overall, Maths was voted the most difficult section, more so in the second section than in the first. Though the first too, was found to be quite difficult because of its emphasis on co-ordinate geometry and calculus. Chemistry was felt to be the easiest among the three subjects.

Students, on the whole, weren?t complaining too much except for the Maths section. First-time aspirant Arnab Banerjee summed up the overall feeling: ?The Maths section in the second paper was tougher than the first while Physics and Chemistry were easier. I expect that the cut-offs will go down this year,? he said.
