22,600 appear for MHT-CET, Most Students Find Physics Paper `A Bit Lengthy'By Sumit Kumar, Section Education
After the Class XII board exams, more than 22,600 students took the crucial step of appearing in the MHT-CET 2008, the combined entrance exam for medical, engineering and pharmacy seats in colleges across the state, which was held at 50 exam centres in Pune district on Thursday.
While, most students rated the CET papers - physics, chemistry, maths and biology - as good, some labelled them difficult as compared to last year's entrance test and this was mainly because of the physics paper. A majority of the students found this exam "a bit lengthy". "The physics paper had a few conceptual questions that were different from those posed last year," said Anuj Jagtap, who appeared in the test from the Huzurpaga high school centre, off Laxmi road. "The problems also required more calculations as compared to last year's exam," he said. Anuj attempted the physics, chemistry and maths (PCM) part of the test in his quest for an engineering seat. Anjana Nair, who attempted the physics, chemistry and biology (PCB) part was also of the same opinion. Click on "Full Story" for more...
Vaibhav Naik, who appeared from the Abeda Inamdar School centre, said that 90-minutes, the time given for the physics and chemistry paper, was insufficient. "We had to hurry with our answers," he said and added that the mathematics paper was relatively easier.
Anand Malik, dean of B. J. Medical College and co-ordinator for MHTCET in Pune, Ahmednagar, Satara and Solapur told TOI that 23,139 students had enrolled for the exam from Pune district. Of these, 507 students did not turn up at the exam centres for various reasons. The exam passed off smoothly with no untoward incident reported from any centre across Pune division, he added. "Elaborate bandobust was made by the city police to ward off any trouble during the exam," joint commissioner of police Rajendra Sonawane said. A policewoman and two male police constables were posted at each of the 50 exam centres falling under 12 police station areas of the district. The police had already invoked Section 144 Cr PC, banning assembly of five or more people at one place, in the vicinity of the exam centres. The exam was held in two sessions of 90-minutes each. The physics and chemistry papers were held in the 10 am to 11.30 am slot and the mathematics and biology papers in the 3 pm to 4.30 pm slot. The exam pattern allows the student to make a choice between PCB and PCM group or even appear in both the groups. Source: Times Of India, May09-2008
