Students found online paper easier than written one

JEE (Mains)2014 first day online mode exam that was conducted on April 9 brought smiles for aspirants. Students found the computer based exam much easier than the offline exam that was held on April 6.

Around 1.72 lakh candidates had appeared for the first day of JEE Main 2014 online examination. Three more online tests will be held on April 11, 12 and 19.

Students even found direct questions from NCERT test books of CBSE board and common questions from previous year question bank. Physics question paper that lengthier and difficult in the written test was comparatively easier in the computer-based exam

Many candidates who took the exam in the online mode found the version better than written examination as the students do not have to bother shading the correct options properly to be considered as their answer.
