eight questions wrong in NTSE stage 2 MAT paper

NTSE Stage 2 MAT Paper

13.        The dart does not follow any logical sequence in the outermost region of the square.

33.        The question should be - How many angles are there above the straight line ? According to the given question the answer can be 15.

34.        The number of triangles are more than 28 (approximately 40).

54.        Answer of the given question should be South-East which is not given in the option.

The explanation is as under –

           

61.        Since option 1, 2 & 4 cannot be the correct answer. Hence, the most appropriate ans is option 3. But again option 3 can not be the right explanation because the position of the given triangles in the given figure should be interchanged.

74.        In this question the logic is not common in all the figures. In 1st and 3rd figure the logic is (22 + 32) – (2 + 3) = 8 and (62 + 72) – (6 + 7) = 72 but in 4th figure if it follows the same logic then the result is (82 + 92) – (8 + 9) = 128 but in the fourth figure the result is given 129.

NTSE stage 2 MAT Papers errors

There are three questions which seem to be wrong in MAT paper
Q. No 33   Angles will be much more than 10 or 11 however if you calculate angle above the base line only then the answer is coming 10. so what NCERT decides in this question is still not clear.
Q. No 34  No of triangles are asked but if we calculate the triangles it is coming much more than 28  so really speaking none of the option seems to be correct, however in the best case scenario 28 could be the right answer
Q. No 45   Direction test question the correct answer is coming SOUTH- EAST which is not there in the options , answers could be EAST or SOUTH
this should go for bonus
Q. No 91 there could be two answers 5 or 6, so this should also go for bonus
Q. No 93 none of the option seems to be correct


We will soon put the analysis of SAT paper too on the blog

NTSE Stage -1 result fiasco

SIERT has forgot to check the SAT OMRs of hundreds of unfortunate students even second time and now not ready to accept the fault , the matter has come to notice after an application was put under RTI ( Right to Information ) Act
I will write the complete story about blatant misuse of authority by SIERT Udaipur soon on my blog

SIERT forgets to process the SAT OMR sheets of students

SIERT forgets to process the SAT OMR sheets of students 

 SIERT has provided the zerox copy of the OMR sheet of NTSE stage -1 appeared student under right to information (RTI) act, However SIERT HAS SPOILED THE CAREER OF STUDENTS .It seems that SIERT has misplaced the OMRs of these unfortunate students .In a case which has come into notice under RTI , Kushal Babel ( NTSE Roll No. 130103201347) is a brilliant student and was very confident of clearing stage -1 examination ,however he was shocked to see his roll number missing from the list. He used RTI to access his OMR sheet , he and his family ran from pillar to post to get access to OMR sheet and when they finally got the OMR of kushal ,they saw OMR sheet of the students has been tempered with .In order to prove that Kushal is not selected, SIERT has changed 13 right bubbles to wrong one and 10 bubbles were doubles marked . I am attaching the scanned copy of the OMR.

You can see your self SIERT people first tried to erase the right one but when they saw that bubbles are getting erased they started filling the double bubbles. So Kushal who was supposed to score 143 marks got only 120 marks only.

Sub: Complain regarding the NTSE stage 1 result of Rajasthan state declared on 04 and 20 Mar 10


Dear Sir,

SIERT has come out with the revised results on 20 Mar 10. This has put the big question marks on the credibility of how SIERT operates. SIERT in its earlier statements denied of any error in its results, however when faced with the pressure from the parents, SIERT has rechecked the results and declared the result once again.


It the end though it satisfies some of the parents but it still leaves lot of questions still unanswered such as : Why the papers and the answer keys are not provided to students? Why the marks and ranks are not told to students?


I would like your intervention in this matter and ask the SIERT to disclose the marks of all the selected and not selected students and at the same time copy of the mark sheet should be made available for inspection. Till these measures are not taken in its true spirit people will not have confidence in SIERT and NCERT.


We look forward to your intervention in this matter to restore the confidence of the people in the system.


Thanking you

NTSE Battle is still not won

SIERT has come out with revised results and it has satisfied some of us since our wards have been selected however this was never been the objective of this crusade. Personally I was looking forward to more transparency in this issue. At the end though it satisfies some of the parents but it still leaves lot of questions still unanswered such as : Why the papers and the answer keys are not provided to students? Why the marks and ranks are not told to students? Till the time we address fundamental issue here which is transparency, the battle is still not won.

This time we were lucky that SIERT has admitted its blunder since it affected many students just imagine what if SIERT misses two or three OMRs of deserving students and their name are not appeared in the selected list, students will assume that they are not selected, however they will never come to know they have been scapegoat of reckless behavior of SIERT. My experience of dealing with NCERT and KVPY makes me confident enough to say that any thing is possible here.

I would like parents to take initiative and seek information about zerox copy of the mark sheet, paper and answer key to believe on this result. Our collective effort will ensure that SIERT dare not repeat such act in future.

Students who are not selected should not loose heart and seek the information till they are not satisfied with it. You can write to me further in case of any query at nileshgupt@yahoo.com

SIERT has declared the corrected NTSE stage 1 results today

Results will be soo uploaded on the blog

NSO messed up this year

I have come to know that NSO exam conducted by SOF on 19 Nov was totally messed up. I can quote incidents where this exam's crediblity is at stake. Jaipur was closed on this day because of the swine flu, however this examination was conducted at few locations in Jaipur and in the rest of the India. when the school opened up few schools conducted this exam on 23 nov and the same exam paper was administerd to the students and at few location the exam was conducted on 24 Nov too. Looking at this it is understood the SOF Mgmt doesn't have any stand by arrangements to keep the sanctity of such a National Level Examination.
It seems it has become more a money making business with out any seriousness attached. gonig by this way it makes more sense to appear for Govt based exams who are ot very strong in marketing but the crebility is very high such as NTSE, Olympiads condcuted by HBCSE
