NSEJS 2019-20 Question Paper Analysis:
The question paper of NSEJS 2019 was easier when compared to the 2018 paper. Math was very easy, most of the questions were from the class 10 syllabus. Physics was somewhat difficult, although not more than 2018. The chemistry was very easy and scorable. Biology was difficult, many questions were out of the syllabus.
As the paper of 2019 was easy, the cutoff was high. The MAS was 99 while the MI was 159.
The trend has been that the alternate year question papers have been easy. Hence, the 2018 paper was difficult but the 2019 paper was easy. The same thing can be said for the 2020 paper, most probably it would be difficult.
