How does it feel when you earn first penny of your life?

Finally, at the age of 22, I started to earn in my life.I have started teaching Hindi to a German lady.The first day of my job was a fun.I made an assignment for my student and she praised my expertise in Hindi.There was a lot of fun going around with the pronunciation and I enjoyed it throughly.

JMET 2009 V/S JMET 2010

What a shot it was from JMET this year!For first 15 minutes, I couldn't understand what the paper was and ended up with just 4 questions.It was a U-turn from the last year's paper.Last year people attempted 105-110 questions easily, but this year 100 seems to be an insurmountable figure.

I attempted 85 questions in all.

VA/RC:The passages were difficult to comprehend as well as the options were damn closer as compared to the last year.Vocabulary questions were least used words.Overall the VA section was 50% difficult than last year's.

My attempts: 24

LEVEL:Moderate to Difficult

LR:This section was a bit tougher than last year's.But it was manageable.20-25 is a good attempt this section.Verbal Reasoning questions were trickier.LR questions were a life saver in this section with some printing mistakes, but that was manageable

My Attempts:22

LEVEL:Moderate

QA:This section was full of sitters as well as some speed breakers.The Calculus and Geometry were not there.

My Attempts:17

LEVEL:Moderate

DI:This section was the same as QA with few speed breakers like the one based on scatter chart.

My Attempts: 22

LEVEL:Moderate

OA: The paper was horrible as compared to the last year.The cut-offs are going to take a huge dive.

My Grand Total:85

Cut-off for IIT-B should be around 65-70

Another debacle!!!!!!!!!

I was really happy when I took IIFT-2009, but I was little apprehensive too about DI's cut-off.Today IIFT results have been declared and I missed the bus again.I have not got my name in the list of 1029 guys who made it into the next round.I felt shocked for a moment, but I regained my composure very soon and I am ready to take on the JMET challenge with all my might.

**FAILURES ARE JUST THE MILESTONES IN YOUR JOURNEY TO THE ULTIMATE GLORY.

***FIGHT IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

JMET 2009 Analysis

The paper has 4 sections having 30 questions each.The time allotted for doing these 120 questions was 180 minutes.Around 25000 thousand candidates take this exam every year.The paper has Verbal Communication, Logical Reasoning, quantitative ability and data interpretation as it's four sections.

Overall Analysis: I found the paper really easy.It has see and mark questions.

Verbal Communication: It has following splits:

1.RC: It has three RCs, each contains four questions.RCs are small, easy to read and direct.

2.Vocab Related questions:There are 8 questions based on vocabulary.The words are common.

3.Parajumble: There are 2 parajumbles in this section.These are real sitters.

4.Sentence Correction/grammar: There are 8 questions in this variety.

Optimum attempt-24-28

Logical Reasoning:It has following splits:

1.If-else type:There is a chapter called Logical Connectives in TIME's logical reasoning book.There are 4 questions based on this variety.Quite simple, if one is well equipped with its fundamentals

2.Parajumbles: This section, too, has three parajumbles.These are also sitters.

3.Venn diagram: Just one question.Simple.........

4.Parallel reasoning: One question.

5.Arrangement questions: There are 9 questions on this variety.Some mistakes were there in the data provided.But the questions were a real cake walk.

9.What has author assumed while making this statement-1 question

10.Three-four line paragraph and two questions are to be answered on the basis of this paragraph.Really Easy.....

11.Other variety: four questions were there in this category.

Optimal attempt:22-26

Quantitative Aptitude: 75% of the questions are sitters.They don't need more than one minute of thinking.Just see and answer.The topics covered are:

1.Integration

2.Percentage

3.Probability

4.Maxima-Minima

5.Venn Diagram etc. etc.

Optimal attempt-24-28

Data Interpretation:There are questions based on Tables, Pie-Charts, Percentage and blah-blah.

The questions are straight forward and require a cool approach.

Optimal attempt-26-28

In nut-shell, the paper is on the easier side and moreover time allotted is also astronomical.Hence the cut-offs are also on astronomical side.

Last year's Cut-off for getting a rank:67/120

How I approached the paper:

1.QA-29 minutes. Attempt-29,C-24,W-5,OA-22.75

2.reasoning-33 minutes.A-25,C-19,W-6,OA-17.50

3.English-30 minutes.A-28,C-24,W-4,OA-23.00

4.DI-37 minutes.A-29,C-26,W-3,OA-25.25

5.Buffer-51 minutes

Overall score-88.50/120
