The Joint Admission Test for admissions to Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS)/BBE and BFIA 2021 batch of DU was held today, September 27, 2021, in two time slots. The slots had different papers, which would be evaluated through the process of normalization, to ensure parity.
The exam was conducted by University of Delhi, in collaboration with the National Testing Agency (NTA); and the paper was administered in CBT (Computer-Based Test) mode. A total of 100 questions were to be attempted in the stipulated time period of 2 hours. Each question carried 4 marks; and there was a negative mark (1 mark) for each incorrect answer.
There was no section defined in the paper; and the questions were jumbled. The questions were broadly from four areas: General Awareness, General English, Analytical & Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Aptitude. Overall, the difficulty level of the paper was easy-moderate.
To the surprise of all, General Knowledge questions were quite limited. There were 10-12 questions based on GK unlike 25 questions in the 2020 paper. Overall, the level of difficulty was easy except for the fact that the number of questions was lesser than expected. Close to 5 questions were based on static GK, 3 on current affairs and 2 on business awareness. Few questions are as follows:
Who is the captain of the men’s’ football team, Who is Justice Arun Kumar Mishara, Who is Azim Premji, antibody blood test is conducted to check, who is Om Birla, What is TESLA, IDBI bank is a and what is the capacity of Narender Modi Stadium?
Similar to last year, the questions based on English were easy. The two passages of reading comprehension were on grand slam titles and the caffeine effect. The questions which followed the passage were direct and fact based. Questions on vocabulary and grammar were easy; and helped students save time for the other areas. This section didn’t require any special effort; and could have been completed within 15-20 minutes.
