Eligibility criteria for IIT JEE 2013 (Advanced)
In respect of those students who passed their Board exam for the first time in 2012, the eligibility criteria for joining any of the IITs or ISM Dhanbad will be 60% marks in their 12th Board or equivalent (55% for SC/ST/PwD candidates). For those candidates who appear in their Board exams for the first time in 2013, the eligibility criteria will remain ‘top 20 percentile of the successful candidates’ in their Boards, category-wise. This will be a one-time exception for JEE (Advanced) 2013 only.
For those students who passed their 12th Board exams in 2012 but are re-appearing in the 2013 Board exams with a view to improve their performance, 60% rule will apply if they use their 2012 Board exam results and ‘top 20 percentile’ rule will apply if they use their 2013 Board exam results. This too will be a one-time exception for JEE (Advanced) 2013 only.
In case the percentile score is not available from testing agencies [such as Pre-University exam conducted by a University, two-year course of the Joint Services Wing of the National Defence Academy, General Certificate Education examination (London/Cambridge/Sri Lanka), High School Certificate Examination of Cambridge University, International Baccalaureate Diploma (Geneva), Senior Secondary School Examination of National Institute of Open Schooling, three year Diploma recognized by AICTE / State Board of Technical Education and any Public School/Board/University examination in India or in any foreign country recognized as equivalent to the 10+2 system by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU)] the CBSE score for top 20 percentile of the successful candidates in the student’s category will be used.
For all Foreign Nationals, the eligibility criteria based on the qualifying examination shall be 60% aggregate marks.

Best Wishes for CBSE Compartment Exam
Hello students,
CBSE is conducting the compartment exam 2012 on 16 July.
We wish all the candidtaes the very best.
Please keep this in mind while you prepare for the exam.
- Don’t have any presumption that the compartment exam will be easier than the main exam
- Attempt all questions
- Ensure that you have attempted all parts of the same question (Even if you don’t know it)
- Attempt the questions whose answers are well known to you and later go on to the less known one.
- Please make sure that you have written the correct question number.
- Draw diagrams using instruments. (Free hand diagrams will not fetch good marks)
- While attempting numericals, write data giving proper symbols first and then write formula. Then you may be able to solve the problem which you thought you may not be able to solve at all!
Once again
BEST WISHES, BE COOL AND JUST ROCK !!!

Why Physics Exams are always reported difficult every year?
It is commonly found that there are maximum complaints after the Physics Exam. What could be the reason?
The fact is that there are students scoring 100% even in this “reportedly toughest ” question papers.
CBSE is also getting the questions prepared by Professors who are actively involved in text book preparations and with many years of experience. CBSE follow a standardized pattern for question papers too.
Even then after the Physics examination there is an uproar and requests are received from various parts regarding the faults and toughness of the question paper. The other subjects are not like this.
(See the posts http://plustwophysics.com/how-was-the-cbse-plustwo-physics-question-paper-aissce-2011/ and http://plustwophysics.com/how-was-the-cbse-physics-exam-2012/ and http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-03-06/board-exams/31126870_1_physics-paper-application-based-questions-bloom-public-school )
- Is this because the Physics is not taught the way it should be?
Many educational institutions are coming up every year. There is a scarcity of teachers, especially in Physics. Some are taking the job just as a means to earn income. Many do not know and follow the pattern of CBSE but some how they manage to complete the portions.
In many schools, other refresher books are followed instead of the NCERT Text book. This creates lot of problems. The CBSE question paper is set based on the data given in NCERT Text book. If there is a confusion, what is given in NCERT text book will get weightage.
- Or is it because the students are more after the competitive exams and they start capsulizing things without understanding the concepts?
Such students solve the numerical problems excellently but fail to solve understanding and skill based questions. The style of presentation is also very important.
Now, it has become important to understand the concept and follow the textbook thoroughly to get admission to IITs and other courses as they have started counting the marks scored in Exams too.
Or, are there some other problems which make Physics exam difficult year after year. Come on let’s discuss…..
