The JEE man exam paper II was successfully conducted by CBSE on April 2 in second shift which was from 2 pm to 5 pm. The second paper consisted of total 390 questions and this time the exam was bit lengthy and difficult.

Aptitude section

"In aptitude section, there was a change of pattern this time. Some questions (like counting surfaces or counting shapes) were removed and in place certain more easy questions were included. The GK part of aptitude was manageable," says a student, Shronit Jain from Ramjas School.

Math section

He further added, "Math was the toughest section out of the three. The standard of the question paper was kept high by JEE. The questions were not very difficult, if the applicant knew the trick. Some questions were also directly from the CBSE course."

Drawing section

There was nothing very specifically asked in the section. In fact, in question 1 applicants were free to draw in any way as opposed to the last year when there were certain guidelines on drawing. However, the section was lengthy and students may have found it difficult to complete the section in time.
