Commonly asked questions
Q:   Is JMI Entrance Exam tough for an average student?
A: 

JMI Entrance Exam is a pen and paper-based test which is designed to assess a candidate's analytical aptitude, logical reasoning skills, English comprehension and general awareness. It may sound tough, but these are the skills which we are taught in school so there is nothing new to learn. What is required is to learn these subjects at advanced level. Even if you are an average student, you will find a lot of familiar topics in the sections asked in Jamia Millia Entrance Exam.

All you will need is to brush up the basics and practice the concepts on advance level. However, since the competition is high, the preparation for JMI Entrance Exam requires a lot of focus, dedication, discipline and diligence. If you can do that, despite being an average student, you can crack the entrance exam.

Q:   What is the sequence of sections in the JMI question paper?
A: 

The sequence of JMI question paper is - Part A: Written Test (Objective/ MCQs) and Part B: Written Test (Subjective/ Descriptive/ Theory). Candidates will be able to give the descriptive paper only when the objective test is completed.

Q:   Which section of the JMI exam question paper is lengthy?
A: 

The descriptive section of JMI entrance exam is lengthy as it includes reading and understanding the questions and answer them in the prescribed word limit. Candidates need to practice the sample questions well in advance to perform good in exam.

Q:   I marked two answers for a question in JMI Entrance Exam. One of the answers is correct. Will I get full marks for this question?
A: 

According to the JMI Entrance Exam pattern, an MCQ question for which more than one response is marked on the OMR sheet will be considered incorrect. For such questions, one mark would be deducted. Hence, candidates should be careful while answering on the OMR sheet. They should solve the questions separately on the space provided for rough work, and then shade the answer option on the OMR sheet to avoid such errors. Revision after completing the exam is also important.
