The JMET had already been declared to be of 120 questions length and of 3 hours duration – a deviation from the previous years when the paper was of 150 questions and 2 hours duration. There were 4 sections each – of Verbal Ability, Quantitative Ability, Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation – having 30 question each. Considering, that the paper was of 180 minutes that meant that one could allocate 45 minutes per section.

According to Mr. Shubhashish Mitra, VP- Acadamics, PT Education, "the paper was along expected lines with the pattern previously declared. Consensus says that the paper was easier (relatively speaking) than the one given last year."

The Verbal ability section had with 12 Reading Comprehension questions, 9 questions based on Vocabulary and rest on Grammar.

On the verbal ability section, IMS Learning says, "This section comprised questions on verbal ability as well as reading comprehension. There were 12 questions on reading comprehension and 18 on verbal ability. The passages were of medium length with mostly direct questions and a few inferential questions. But even for direct questions, the options were quite deceptive; so negating the options could take some time and careful consideration of the passage. Understanding the passages was not a major hindrance while answering the questions. The questions required you to understand and interpret the passages. There was also one word-based question based on the passage."

The Logical reasoning section had questions based on verbal reasoning as well as logical reasoning. Says IMS Learning, "In verbal reasoning, there were the usual constructs like syllogisms, jumbled paragraphs, critical reasoning (with a focus on fallacies in reasoning), course of action and statement conclusion type. Some of the questions were similar to logical reasoning in that they required a passing knowledge of mathematical concepts. The questions in this set were time consuming, as they required sound understanding of the question. Overall the level of difficulty of the LR questions was comparatively higher than the other sections."

On the Data Interpretation and Quantitative ability sections, PT education says, "DI section was of standard level – pure Data Inference. No "reasoning based" DI as in the CAT. 3 sets could have been managed comfortably in the given time – that means 12-15 questions could have been attempted. Quantitative Ability, as expected, was mainly Higher Maths. It was quite apparently, a paper framed for engineers and by engineers. Questions were challenging and 8-10 attempts in the given time were possible."

What are the cut-offs that test prep companies anticipate of JMET 09. IMS Learning says that a good overall score in JMET 09 will be in the range of 65-71 marks. PT Education says that on the whole, the cut-offs for the paper should be in the range of 45-50 with the sectional cut-offs as mentioned above. For a call from the two top IITs – IIT Mumbai and IIT Delhi, the student is expected to score in the range of 70+.
