a re exam is impossible it seems.we can reply on this thread till jee 2011 but the only re exam they will give will be jee 2011 itself.
its very unfortunate for those who sufferred due to the ors error,but i dont think we can blame the q paper.maths was tough,but i think our intimidation at that caused us to miss quite a few solvable questions in the tensionatleast with me and even make some silly mistakes.

How to file a petition??

@ arka
what can be conceived can be achieved. Though the authorities deny its possibility completely. If the judiciary feels that the errors cannot be provided for, re-exam will not be a far away possibility.

Visit

and click on e-filing. You just need to register, no advocates and no huge sum of money involved. Rs. 1.50 per page of the petition.

Alternatively, your letter to supremecourt@nic.in can be considered as a petition as well. But I would say that the first option is more viable.

the biggest question is that iit should be fair

i think everyone should be given an equal chance
even if we don't get into iit it should be because of our own mistakes
not those done by iitjab

so re exam is must

No one can ever understand the stress of a person who had aimed JEE since his childhood. And now when the saga is about to complete, there's the anti-climax of a re-exam.That hard work is being stalked upon a sword tip !

No one can ever bring that 11 April back to those sudents scoring 220+ despite of the nonsense .That perfection , that commitment , that methodology ,that continuum, that balance can never be brought again .Those who wan't to give themselves one more chance ,Let me tell you , it will end worse than what had you thought.

And yeah being baby is an easier task .

hey guys...
yes those who have succeeded in scoring 250+ have full right to shout in case of re exam...but do u think all of them cant get the same thing again ???

tell me frankly..have all of u compeltely forgotten syllabus ??
u wont forget it all even in next 10yrs........

we all ahve worked for 2-3 yrs......and we need a fair exam....

even a short notice of 2-3 weeks shouldnt affect a lot....becoz we only need to revise...

or maybe for some paranoids....JEE can conduct re exam,..and take best out of two score....so in thsi way all those who scored high on 11apr wont be affected...

Akshay Pamnani ·

take the best out of 2 scores??
take would be the worst thing they can do

ABHI ·

eureka, its nt d syllabus....but mental condition...i also support a re-examination.........

Eureka guys like me...or rather the ones who have passed 12 n r expecting a 190...score.....will not get in if best scores r taken brother :)

eureka123 ·

@akshay,
reexam,if it happens is going to eb tuffest exam in history of iit....

so all those who get high in 1st exam are obviously in advantage postion...but still i am saying for best of two ,becoz i am arguing for peace of mind and not selection/rejection

only a fair chance can give peace of mind

@rohit,
dont underestimate urself dude.....

GUYS ONE EXPLANATION THAT I HAVE!!!

WHO SAID THE PHYSICS CHEM N MATHS ON THE TOP WERE HEADINGS TO MARK THE ANSWERS>...IT WAS JUST STATED wht the subjects were...!!! they never wrote in instructons to fill according to the subject..!!1

the numbering was NOT like 1-28 for physci....then 1-28 for chem!!!dat it should really confuse........ it was 1-84!!!

so u r tellin me...d so called smart ppl who filled according to the subject heading r so careless...not to see the 28 times serially ordered quetion numbers....???????

I Say the heading in the ORS sheet was just the subjects in the question paper....as nowhere it was mentiaoned that there will be subject heading according to which we fill.........in all exams we do it according to serial order...!!!

hope u get my point!!!


[read it as a third party...not as a student who wants a reexam so dat he gets another try {no offence}]

@rohit
OMR sheet is not the only thing For ur benifit I summarise hereunder:

IIT should take a retest of IIT JEE 2010 due to following:

1.WRONG SUBJECT HEADINGS IN IIT PAPER

The subject headings on OMR sheet did not match with question nos. given below. The IIT authorities quite some time after the exam had started advised to ignore the subject headings and answer according to the serial numbers in the question paper

Students who had started to mark based on subject headings then had to rub off the markings (this has to be done very neatly as any residual markings can be picked while checking). This lead to waste of time, a precious commodity in an exam as competitive as IIT. Besides, students came under undue stress affecting their composure.

2.PARTIAL MARKING

For some questions (of total 45 marks) instructions mentioned that partial marks shall be given for partially correct answer, with no negative marking.

An extreme view put forward is that as there is no negative mark for any wrong answers, if all options are marked full marks should be given. Thus a student can get 45 marks without solving the questions.

IITs clarification is that to avail partial mark the number of choices shaded should not exceed the number of correct choices and must include at least one of the correct choices.

This is an assumption given after the exam is over. In no way could the instruction be interpreted like this by the students. I do not see how IIT marking scheme can take care of how students interpreted the unclear instructions and what effect it had.

3.MISTAKES IN HINDI PAPER

I have not seen the paper but as per reports in English version 6 questions were for 8 marks each ,whereas the Hindi version said 3 marks each. A JEE examinee who has to do a trade-off between time and gains (in terms of scored marks) may have made the wrong choice. In addition, certain questions were not printed.

IITs response is that all these are minor mistakes and will be taken care of during evaluation of papers. IIT IS NOT SAYING WHAT
EXACTLY IT INTENDS TO DO. I am sure they also do not know.
Clearly no amount of moderation can take care of all these BLUNDERS (not minor mistakes) as these have affects that may vary from student to student and can not be quantified.

IIT would need divine intervention to know how to take care of marks a student lost due to lost time/composure/making the wrong choices due to unclear/wrong instructions.

RETEST IS THE ONLY FAIR WAY OUT.

vietnemm...i gave an explanation for ur first doubt only brother!! how stupid of sum1..to IGNORE THE SERIAL NUMBER AND MARK ACC TO THE SUBJECT HEADING!! IT WASNT 1-28,1-28..it was 1-84...a person with normal IQ would knw this!!!

i agree with the 2nd and 3 rd points..but 1st point is bogus !!

1
rick ·

@ROHIT
No dear! The first point is the most important! If only you knew there were some centres where the invigilators had advised to go by subject headings until the instructions arrived.

No one would choose to do it by oneself, if they are mentally sound :)

@vineetm...
who r u 2 take responsibiilty of d hindi version candidates..,,they r der to fight on their own.....! I think u r just creating a ruckus here,....(i don't know y but i feel that perhaps your paper went too bad nd that's y u r urging 4 a re-exam....)..nd as far as ur 2nd point is concerned i think it was thier best strategy to flush out all those candidates(O-IQ ones) who had marked all d options simply assuming that by doing this they will get full marks in each.....ofc they don't fit into the IIT atmosphere,....nd i wonder y ur showoing concern for them/??

@jabbujabbujabbu
Everyone is concerned for those who are getting good marks. Its only those people who are afraid of a retest are expressing their fears. Sorry, if I am being harsh (I do not intend to) but IIT's are places for innovators not for those who kissed Lady Luck on the 11th. Skills do not weather but are built over time.
A good student will definitely score much more if given a chance!
Moreover, if you are not a dropper- how much time did you get to attain that perfection , that commitment , that methodology ,that continuum, that balance after your 12th boards?
If at all there is a re-exam you would get at least 4 weeks notice. See it this way, even the administration would need more time to arrange for the exam.
So if you are not one of those who just got lucky on the 11th instance of April, you should be prepared enough to revise things in 2-3 weeks. After all you must have given AIEEE on the 25th where the syllabus is exactly the same as JEE +some extra stuff.
Dont tell you got off guard in 6 days.
All I want to say is that "Be prepared for everything that comes ur way"
A good student will score better the next time- I am quite sure of that. Muggers wont! So dont be scared!

@rick
so acc. 2 u those scoring 400+ or 410+ scored that much wid only luck??...,.,?

@rajatjain.ix
You are right about the partial marking stuff! But vineet did not write dis article down. He copied it. So why blame him?

Moreover, we should be concern about the Hindi zone candidates. They deserve to be at the IITs if they have knowledge.

Think of those who cant afford to sit and surf the internet, those great minds who do not have resources to raise their opinion. Something needs to be done for them. Please dont be a jerk. Imagine what it feels like to be on the other side of the situation.
BTW, are you satisfied with your performance at JEE 2010? If yes, cant you prove yourself once again?
Think about it.
