Thanks for the information. Can you plz tell from which banks (other than those located on the IIT campuses) can the form be obtained?
Also as I m a newbie I'd like to know how much different is JMET from CAT. I hv heard that the quant section has +2 level maths.

Thank You

Hi rohit,
There is no other place where you can get the forms. They are available only with the special counters of IITs.
So, better you go for online application. It will be hassle free & fast.

Now, coming to your questions,

The way IITs & IIMs test vary. But, the parameters (sections) are the same except for quant. The following analysis might help you. The trend is from analysing the last 2 JMET papers.

VA - Relatively easier to CAT. But it was tricky last year. We consumed more time & scored less. Grammar, Jumbled sentences, Synomyms & Antonyms were asked consistently for the last 4 yrs.

RC - The CAT RC is too logic oriented. JMET does the same but with lesser intensity. Last year, the length of the passages was similar in both the exams.

Reasoning - The JMET like reasoning will not be tested in CAT. JMET reasoning includes puzzles, logical questions, syllogisms. It is a high scoring section. Some times DS will be clubbed with reasoning. The syllogisms were difficult to crack. Take a mock paper & go thru them. U get an idea as how to crack them.

DI - It was always easy. JMET & CAT DI differ in the level of difficulty. While CAT mix DI with reasoning, JMET does not. JMET tests your speed calculation skill like anything. Most of the rankers of JMET scored 20+ in DI by investing 20-25 min.

Coming to your third question,

Yeah, the quant cutoff will be lower. But, let me tell you people struggle to find the easy questions, expecting a higher cutoff, which was not the case. Last year, most of my batch mates spent 20-25 min., identified 7-10 easy questions (from both arithmetic+higher maths), solved them & scored 5-9.
Once your CAT is completed, go through Vectors, Complex nos., Heights & Disctances, Matrices, Definite Integrals, Derivatives, Limits etc.

The online registration will be active on IIT Kharagpur link from 3 sept onwards. I'll be editing the first post giving you the link.

Stay in touch & resolve all the doubts that you have regarding your preparation.

Cheers,

Team MBA, IITK

Could you tell the last rank which was called for the GD/PI for 2007-09 batch?

Hi deep,
under genaral category, the last rank for which a GD/PI call given was around 2500.

My seniors batch has a strength of 32. Our batch got 47 seats. New residence halls are under construction. Once they are completed, they might be a chance to take in more members, subject to the limit decided by IITK.

Please note that the GD-PI calls r further based on ur profile as well (Work-ex etc), so if ur profile is strong enough u might get a call at 2500 rank as compared to somebody who is 300-400 ranks better than u and not having a strong profile.
Also, be aware that the final selection is a combination of ur profile and Written & GD-PI performances.

and with the SOM( School Of Management) thing in progress the number of seats are expected to increase with the each passing year and moreover, the upcoming batches contains a healthy mix of fresh graduates and experienced people.

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Can you give me a link to previous years question papers of JMET, if possible?

[SureThisTime]

Hi rohit..
the papers must be available with ur coaching center. For the last 2 yrs, JMET is allowing to take the papers after the test.
Visit the IIT kgp link tht i have provided in the first post. They have uploaded few questons as models. But they were the actual JMET 2007 questions.
Vist the following link for JMET 2006 questions
JMET: Paper Structure
U can see the sample questions which were actually part of the test.
The level of difficulty more or less maintained throught the respective papers.
Check with ur coaching enter. They must be definitely having the papers.

Cheers,
Team MBA, IITK
