The Story in Brief
The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE) was conducted peacefully across the state on Sunday with tight security, reported millenniumpost.in. The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board confirmed no untoward incidents or malpractice at any of the 267 centres, which included venues in Tripura and Assam. A total of 1,20,856 candidates registered for the test.
Several candidates, however, complained that the mathematics paper was lengthy and time-consuming. One examinee outside Bethune College said answering 75 questions in two hours required lengthy calculations. Another from Khardah found the problems manageable but the arithmetic too long. Some compared it unfavourably with this year's JEE Main, calling the maths section tougher.
The Indian Opinion
Every year, entrance exam rumour mills churn out tales of paper leaks and mass cheating. This year’s peaceful conduct of the WBJEE should quiet those lazy narratives for now. Yet the genuine grievance about a lengthy maths paper risks being drowned out. The real test will be whether the counselling process remains transparent and on schedule, or if delays and seat-allocation disputes give cynics fresh material.
