New Delhi: In order to ease their exam blues, the students taking the entrance examinations to the elite, Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) will be required to appear for two papers and not three.
The IIT has decided to restructure the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) to be held on April 8, and the test will now comprise two papers and not three, as was the case last year.
Each paper will be of three hours' duration and will consist of questions of subjects including Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, official sources said.
Earlier, the students had to appear for three papers, one each dealing with the subjects of physics, chemistry and mathematics. The papers were of two hour's duration.
The questions however, will continue to be of objective type and there will be negative marking for incorrect answers, sources said.
The JEE structure has been undergoing changes since last year.
Till 2005, there were two stages of tests in the IIT-JEE. First, the students appeared for a screening test and those qualifying this test were allowed to sit for the main exam.
However, a one-stage examination was introduced last year in which three lakh students appeared.
There are over 4,000 seats in seven IITs that are expected to increase to about 5,500 to implement reservation for OBC students.
