Analysis of the Exam
Question Pattern
It was observed that there were more Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions in comparison to that provided last year. This made the exam slightly tricky as there were lesser number of direct Theoretical questions and Multiple-Choice-Questions(MCQs) which are usually easier to attempt than Fill-in-the-blank questions.
Exam Interface
The exam interface includes a scroll down arrow, Page Up and Down arrow and side scrolling arrow. This maximises the question and removes the question pallete.
Exam Analysis
Mechanical Engg.
(a) Forenoon Slot: The paper involved a lot of logical reasoning and included 28 Numerical Answer Choice Questions and 27 Multiple Choice Questions. There was 1 Match the Following Questions from Manufacturing Technology. 1 Marks questions were all easy level while the 2 Marks questions were lengthy and few of them were difficult. Engineering Maths & Aptitude questions were easy which could be answered within a short time.
Overall difficulty of the paper was Moderate.

(b) Session-2, 2nd Feb, 2019, After Noon Slot, 14:30 AM -17:30 PM:
The number of NAT questions were more than that of the MCQs and had more weightage as well. More questions were from Manufacturing Technology and Theory of Machine. Two to Three questions were completely of new structure against the previous models in Fluid Mechanics. One mark questions were mostly easy and very few were of medium level. The paper on the whole required more logical thinking and conceptual analysis.
Overall the paper was found to be Moderate to Difficult.
