Around 10 lakh students appeared in the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE 2012) at 1,735 centres across the country. Another 164,000 candidates more would take the online exam on May 7, 12, 19 and 26 at 221 centres.
The AIEEE 2012, conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education, was a three-hour long examination with four versions of question papers, each having 90 questions.
The exam had 30 multiple choice questions each from physics, chemistry and mathematics for total of 360.
According to overall reactions of students and coaching centres, the paper was relatively easier than last year. The physics section was tougher than the rest, but there too overall difficulty level was not set high..........
Mostly, everythng went smoothly, but there were some problems encountered in the smaller cities. Like lack of amenities at the centres located in Guntur, Warangal and Tirupati. While some of the centres had no power supply during the examination, others did not have enough space to accommodate all students. An estimated 7,000 students and their accompanying parents made overnight stay under the open sky at all available public places like railway station, bus stations and public garden after their arrival in the city on Saturday evening. This was the first time that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted the examination in small cities instead of major ones. The intention was to draw students from Tier-1 cities to take the newly introduced online examinations which will be conducted on weekends starting May 7 and ending with May 24...................
