WBJEE held peacefully across Bengal, maths paper called lengthy

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) was conducted peacefully across Bengal on Sunday, the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) said. The board reported no untoward incident or malpractice from any of the 267 centres, including 264 in Bengal, two in Tripura and one in Assam. A total of 1,20,856 candidates had registered for the exam.

Several candidates found the mathematics paper lengthy and difficult to finish in the allotted two hours. Candidates outside Bethune College said the 75-question paper required lengthy calculations. One examinee from Khardah said the calculations took too much time, though the questions were manageable. Another candidate said the mathematics section was tougher than this year's JEE Main examination.
