Strange questions in ICET - Disadvantage For Students Without Mathematics Background

Posted On: 19/05/2012 Updated On:

The Integrated Common Entrance Examination (ICET) for admission to MBA and MCA courses held at variouscentresin the state came as a shock for several students who had to tackleunfamiliar questions.While in the analytical ability section certain questions which were never asked in earlier ICETs surfaced,in the mathematics section questions were based on two or more concepts making them time consuming and difficult to crack.Around three errors had also crept into the question paper while one question was found to be out of syllabus,experts said.The test was conducted by Kakatiya University,Warangal.
However,there was no change in the question paper pattern and the marking scheme.Like last year 150 minutes were given to candidates to answer 200 questions.Analytical ability and mathematics had 75 questions each while communication ability had 50 questions.While analytical ability and English sections were not that difficult,the mathematics paper floored students,coaching experts from the city said.
As per analysis of city coaching centres,in booklet code A,question number 42 (reasoning section ),the correct answer was not given among the options.Similarly,the question numbers 82 and 143 in the same booklet,the right answers were not given among the options.Question No 137 was out of syllabus.

Experts said that the question paper was different from any in the past one decade.Till last year the paper used to be very simple compared to those in other states including Maharashtra CET.Students who do not have a mathematics background might have difficulty in cracking the examination, said Manoj Sethi,course director,TIME coaching institute.Students from all academic backgrounds excluding those from bachelor of law and bachelor of fine arts are eligible to take ICET.For two questions under data sufficiency,the data given was inconsistent and this would have had the students in a fix in choosing the right answers, explained Sethi.
Experts said that since the ranks are declared as per relative marking,students might not be affected.The difficulty level would be almost the same for all students and,hence,there is no need for worry, an expert said.
