The new AIEEE pattern this year sported 120 questions distributed equally among Physics,Chemistry and Mathematics ie. each subject had 40 questions and each question carried 3 marks.Last year there was non-uniform marking with marks of each question ranging from 1.5 marks to 4.5 marks and also there were 150 questions in all..

The uniform marking proved a boon to the students as  the difficulty level of all the questions was more or less the same hence each question took same time to be solved.The reduced number of questions meant that one could attempt all questions in the allotted 3 hours.
