NCHMCT JEE 2021 v/s Last Year

Until last year NCHMCT JEE was held in CBT mode. However, this year NTA took the exam in online proctored mode, given the pandemic situation. The exam was overall moderate in difficulty level this year. Last year too the students found the paper moderate. However, some students felt the exam was slightly easier as compared to last year. Also like last year, this year too many students said that the Numerical Ability and Analytical Aptitude was difficult.

Most students could complete the exam on time in the last year. However, this year the online mode of the exam gave many students a hard time. Some could not login on time, some faced server errors and thus could not complete the paper on time.

Around 4 to 6 months of regular study is enough for NCHMCT JEE preparation. If basics are strong, even 2–3 months focused preparation can work.

A rank below 5000 is considered very good rank in NCHMCT JEE. Ranks up to 8000–10000 can still get decent colleges depending on category and availability.
