JMET 2011 is scheduled on December 12, 2010. It is a 3 hours duration paper-pencil test which consists of 120 objective/multiple choice type questions of one mark each. The JMET paper is divided into four major sections—Verbal Communication, Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation.
It is a 120 mark question paper with 0.25 negative marking for every incorrect response. To qualify JMET one should not only secure minimum marks in the test paper, but should clear the minimum sectional cut-off. However, it is advisable to focus on maximizing the overall score since the sectional cut-off marks are generally do not go very high. One should attempt more questions from sections they are most comfortable with. Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation have been the most scoring sections in JMET over the years. Quantitative Ability has been time consuming with a few difficult questions.
In 2009, the 120 questions were evenly distributed among the four sections, i.e., 30 questions per section.
The Verbal Communication section aims at testing a candidate's understanding of English as a language. Effective decision making is the most challenging task before a potential manager, this section examines a candidate's know-how of common forms of English expression, grammar and usage in business which would enable him to extract information from the available data and arrive at an informed decision. It is an off-beat kind of section which other entrance tests do not have and thus requires dedicated preparations. Regular analysis of business articles and reference articles, besides a firm grasp of communicative English grammar helps in mastering over this section.
The Logical Reasoning section consists of questions on analytical reasoning, argument analysis, and analysis of explanation.
Quantitative Ability section aims to test a candidate's understanding of mathematics.
This section has questions on…
Basic Mathematics: Numbers; Operations; HCF and LCM; Fractions, Decimals and Percentages; Ratio and Proportion; Roots and Power; Logarithms; Progressions; Elementary Geometry and Mensuration; Elementary Trigonometry; Introductory Set Theory
Linear Algebra: Equations and Inequalities; Matrices; Determinants; Simultaneous equations and solutions; Elementary Linear Programming; Elementary differential calculus involving functions of one variable; Elementary integral calculus
Probability and Statistics: Types of Data; Frequency Distributions; Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion; Probability Concepts: Basic Outcomes, Events, Sample Spaces; Probability Calculations: Counting Rules using Permutations and Combinations, Unions and Intersections, Complementary Events, Mutually Exclusive Events, Conditional Probability and Independent Events; Binomial, Poisson and Normal Random Variables; Correlation and Simple Linear Regression
The Data Interpretation section aims to assess a candidate’s ability to make valid interpretations from a given set of data. It also assesses a candidate’s ability to understand different representative forms of data such as simple tables, histograms, pie charts, graphs, scatter diagrams, etc.
The JMET gives an All India Rank (AIR) to the qualified candidates. The ranks till which a General category candidate can expect a call from various Institutes are:
IIT Mumbai: 350 - 400
IIT Delhi: 550 - 650
IIT Kharagpur: 1100 - 1300
IIT Kanpur: 1200 - 1400
IIT Chennai: 1800 - 2000
IIT Roorkee: 2500 - 2700
The data given above is only indicative and the final prerogative of giving calls rests with the Institute.
The AIR-Marks relation in JMET 2010 is given below for some AIRs:
AIR 0385 - Marks 78.25
AIR 0611 - Marks 76.00
AIR 0735 - Marks 75.00
AIR 1158 - Marks 72.25
AIR 1510 - Marks 70.50
AIR 1831 - Marks 69.25
AIR 2418 - Marks 67.25
AIR 2844 - Marks 66.00
