Another engineering aspirant, Bhumika Sharma shared a similar feedback. She said, “ The exam, overall, was good. I found the Mathematics the most difficult followed by the Aptitude Section. The drawing section was the easiest and the best for me”.
A student of Father Agnel School, Noida, Ananya said, “ The mental ability was good. And the Aptitude section was better. The drawing section was the best. I found a little difficulty in solving questions from the Mathematics section. The other two sections covered this loss for me. I could solve over 50 questions while I left some. So, I am hoping for the best”.
Sharing her review of JEE Main 2019 Paper 2, Kashmia Tomar shared, “ My exam went well and the paper was easy overall . I could not attempt Mathematics much as I found it to be tough. The aptitude section was extremely easy. The questions were almost repeated. The pattern was same for most of the questions. If you could answer 1, you could answer all. In the drawing section, I could do two drawing questions out of three”.
