JMET 2007 did manage to spring a few surprises, but
they were well approached by Career Forum students
who had anticipated much of it and prepared for the
same through the PreJMET papers. The overall difficulty
level of the paper was almost the same as that of
last year. There were some new question types here
and there, but overall, the pattern was also very
similar to Career Forum PreJMETs.

SECTIONAL BREAK - UP
Verbal Communication:
This section was moderately difficult and saw question
patterns repeating from the previous years. RCs were
short and the questions, mostly direct. The difficulty
level is the same as that of last year.

Comment: A score of 14+ is possible in this section,
while a score of 18+ would be considered good.
Cut-off for this section would be around 10-12 marks.
Logical Reasoning:
As in last year, in this section, more weightage
was given to CR and LR. Overall, the difficulty level
is also the same as that of last year’s JMET.
There were some new question types added- like deducing
facts from the given facts, assumptions, monologues
etc. This was the easiest section among all the four
sections.

Comment: A score of 14+ is possible
in this section, while a score of 20+ would be considered
good.
Cut-off for this section would be around 10-12 marks.
Quantitative Ability:
The difficulty level of this section is the same
as that of last year. In Higher Maths, the questions
were from Linear Programming and there were a couple
of questions on matrices. All questions were in the
form of caselets drawn from real life situations and
were given specific titles. These could be solved
using graphs and functions.

Comment: A score of 8+ is possible in this section,
while a score of 10+ would be considered good.
Cut-off for this section would be around 5-6 marks.
Data Interpretation:
This section was more calculation intensive. This
section had caselets based on real life situations.
As compared to last year, the number of caselets was
lower, but the number of questions per caselets increased,
thus making it tougher than last year’s paper.

Calls from IITD depend on how many people ranked
between 1 and 350 apply to IITD. Generally, IITD gives
350 - 400 calls. So if the first 350 rankers do not
apply to IITD, then calls may come to ranks up to
800 also.
Last year, IITD gave calls up to the approximately
400th rank.
