Viewpoints of aspirants:

Here are some viewpoints of aspirants who have already appeared for the VITEE from different exam centres till now.

1. An aspirant from Nasik, Maharashtra, who has already taken the VITEEE 2015 examination, says that all the papers were easy to answer when compared to that of JEE Main 2015. The questions from subjects like Chemistry and Physics were found to be average, but he found that the questions appearing in the Mathematics paper were the toughest to answer. Overall, the papers were good. The aspirant has tried to attempt all the questions in all the three parts namely Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. He expects a good score and he is hoping for the best.

2. Another student reveals that the question papers were found to be rated as average and Chemistry was easy to answer, which was expected. All the papers carried questions that were conceptually based. The student was strong in Physics as well, hence, he could solve all the topics that was studied for JEE Main 2015. The student assumes that all the questions have been solved and aims to gain a good rank. The only difference that he found between the two examinations of JEE Main and VITEEE of 2015 was that there were a few topics which were not included in JEE Advanced course, but had to be studied for VITEEE 2015.

Difficulty level of Questions:

Some questions in sections I & II were easy and some were of medium difficulty level, but in Mathematics, the questions were tough. Subject wise break up of easy, medium and tough questions in all the parts is reflected in the following table:

Level of Difficulty	Physics-Part-I	Chemistry-Part-II	Mathematics/Biology-Part-III	Total
Number of easy questions	30	20	-	60
Number of Medium Questions	10	20	5	25
Number of Tough Questions	-	-	35	35
Total	40	40	40	120

The above table is based on students’ view point
