It had been intriguing, all the time, for all the students. But as soon as we understand, “how it is that same syllabus is being asked differently in different exams”, our efforts will be different for different exams and results will be uniformly BRIGHT (Good). In other words, there is absolutely no difference in the concepts involved in the questions asked in the various board and competitive examinations. The difference comes in the way, it is asked in these exams. Wherein the boards, they check the conceptual clarity of a student, in the competitions, it is the application of the concepts which is stressed upon. Further, this application skill may vary from exam to exam.
The same syllabus, same students, the same hard work, but different results !!!
Example I: Projectile motion
What they ask in CBSE ?
(a) What is a Projectile?
(b) Find out the maximum range & maximum height for a given velocity (u) & ratios thereof.
(c) Find the range of a Projectile falling from a horizontal table etc.
What they ask in JEE Main/ NEET ?
(a) What is the minimum Kinetic Energy of the projectile with an initial velocity (u) & angle of projection (j), the mass of the object being (m) ?
(b) How much time it would take to reach a height ‘h’ ?
(c) What should be its velocity at height ‘h’ ?
[HINT: Calculate from basic concepts. No direct formula used.]
What they ask in JEE Advanced ?
Example II : Laws of Motion
What they ask in CBSE?
Example III : Current Electricity
What they ask in CBSE?
From the above examples, we find that – syllabus is same, the topic is same, but there is the level difference in asking & Calculations. Hence we can conclude that:
CBSE asks straight forward Questions to TEST the knowledge.
JEE Main/ NEET asks the application level questions but simple calculations.
JEE Advanced asks analytical ability & depth in the Concepts & some times smart calculations.
