IIT JEE 2009 Solutions, IIT JEE 2009 Answer Keys

Paper 1 did not throw up any “surprise” to a well-prepared student. The four different patterns of questions Straight objective type, Multiple Correct Answer type, Matrix Match type and Linked Comprehension type were all patterns they were familiar with. The only “surprise element” was that there were five options to deal with in the Matrix Match type. To be fair to the increased complexity, the paper awarded two marks for every correct “row” and a total of eight marks for an entire question.

The total marks in Paper 1 of 2008 were 246 from 69 questions. This year, the total marks in Paper 1 were 240 from 60 questions. Comparing the reactions of the students in 2008 and 2009, we felt that Paper 1 was a trifle more challenging when compared to the corresponding Paper in 2008.

Paper 2 of IIT-JEE 2009 was the real “surprise element” since everybody was looking for one. With only 19 questions per paper, it really checked the knowledge level of the students.

Of the 19 questions per subject, 8 questions per subject were devoted to what the students call “numerical problems” or “descriptive problems” etc. These questions required students to work out the numerical answer to a problem and the same had to enter into a grid. Essentially, the students were required to darken four bubbles to get one correct answer. the surprise element, again since everybody was looking for one, was only in the weightage given to this pattern of question. This pattern had appeared in IIT-JEE earlier. With 96 marks out of the possible 240 in Paper 2, no doubt this was the section to crack in Paper 2.

Easy: Easy questions are defined as those questions that can be answered by a student who knows the concept under question. It is a direct application of the concept. A student is expected to have attempted all the Easy category questions.

Medium: Medium difficulty questions are those questions that may involve more than one concept. A well-prepared student should be able to identify at least 75% of these and solve them correctly.

Difficult: Difficult questions are those which will definitely involve multiple concepts and are tricky. The students may be led to think away from the ideal method of problem solving. It will require good effort even from the well prepared student to identify the Difficult ones and categorise them accordingly.

The IIT JEE 2009 exam was bit simpler then the previous year.check here for full information about the paper analyzing . The pattern of the paper was similar to the previous year.The first paper was simpler straightforward.The second paper was bit trickier as usual and was more subjective type.

The subject wise cutoff doesn’t matter much the subject wise cutoff previous year was 5 marks in Mathematics,0 marks in Physics and 3 marks in Chemistry . Individual subject cutoffs is determined on the basis that top 80% candidates qualify in each subject.

The expected cutoff for the last rank in IIT JEE would be somewhere around 170 to 175 as the paper seems to be bit simpler then the previous year.
