My AIEEE 2009 Experience

Hi guys, I want to share my experience on how it feels when you go for AIEEE, the largest single day exam in the world...and hope you don't
make the mistake which I did...

Morning, 8:45 am:

I headed towards my test center. I was quite nervous, anxious and other tons of useless thoughts running through my head. I had a PRE-DECIDED STRATEGY. I decided to solve 50-55 questions out of 105 questions with more emphasis on chemistry and maths, as my physics knowledge is as much disaster as Bangladesh team against Australia :).

Morning 9:00 a.m:

Wow! What a sight it was, so many students with their parents holding up books and strolling here and there. The atmosphere was much more electric than IIT-JEE.

Morning 9:15 am:

I found my seat, sat there, and suddenly 1 more boy sat next to me!!!

I didn't know AIEEE exam is given like this, and in a moment the whole class was full! NOW, WHO WON'T CHEAT, WHEN YOU’RE GIVEN EXAM SITTING WITH ANOTHER BUDDY?? It soothed my nerves to great extent.

Morning 9:20 a.m:

Question paper and OMR sheets were handed over...

**WORD OF CAUTION to 2010 aspirants**

USE BALL-PEN, many did the mistake. Of using pencil as in JEE.

And do fill the particulars damn carefully.

9:30 a.m. EXAM BEGINS!!!

What? Ye kya hai? Someone shouted, and I soon realized the reason...

AIEEE 2009
432 marks 90 questions, 4 marks questions and 8 MARKS QUESTIONS!!!

All my strategies, plans whitewashed, I didn’t expect such a change.

**WORD OF CAUTION TO 2010 aspirants**

don’t expect the pattern to be the same, AIEEE is known for throwing BIG surprises every year.

Just keep in mind 40-50% of the exam, and you are through.

Morning 9:30 to 10:30 am

I attempted MATHS first and it was the toughest Maths in the history of AIEEE!! My confidence dipped significantly, I just broke down in Tears! I could solve only 7 questions out of 30!

**WORD OF CAUTION**

NEVER attempt Maths first as you would be really EXHAUSTED in the very first hour!

Morning 10:30 to 11:30 am

Chemistry came. THE EASIEST IN THE HISTORY OF AIEEE! Solved 19 out of 30!
Tears gone! Smiles back!

11:30 to 12.30 pm, the LAST HOUR

Physics made me Phy(sick) the level was higher than the last 2 years, but I managed to solve 11/30...(not bad for mediocre student like me)

The last 15 minutes

So in all I solved 37/90 questions, no chance for NIT. Then I did which one shouldn't do, I CHEATED. 11 Questions that too many were 8 marks questions!!!

I thought DO or DIE.

And the results came, I DIED. The person from whom I cheated was just a wild guesser...9 out of 11(7 were 8 marks ones) were wrong

And I got a rank which couldn't fetch me a good college even on Pluto!!!

So AIEEE aspirants, here is my advice for you...

1. Solve as much you know, never ever cheat, blind guess, or waste too much time on a single question.
2. Just aim a sure 40-50%...don't expect any pattern, any difficulty level, you never know how AIEEE 2010 may surprise you!
3. Don't get nervous, or excited by completing one subject, be emotionally balanced.
4. Don't mess with Maths at first go! No matter how strong you are in Maths.
5. Look above 4 points!

Best of luck for AIEEE ...
