The questions are in the MCQ part were interesting to answer. Overall I think the entrance exam difficulty level was moderate, wouldn’t say too easy or too tough to answer.
Chirag: Hello, my name is Chirag and I reside in Faridabad, I am appearing for my first JET exam which was conducted on February 15, 2020. I appeared for the Producing for Film and Television paper. The questions asked were from the syllabus and as taught in the bachelor’s as well. Section A was simple. Section B was a bit tough I would say. Also answering the 30 mark question was time-consuming as well. The overall level of the entrance exam I feel is difficult.
