Mr. Mohit Sardana, Director, FIITJEE said, "This is an exceptional year, as the foundation of most of the students appearing for the JEE advanced exams was laid online. After a deep evaluation and assessment of the situation, we decided to use a three-pronged approach: Concept-wise SWOT analysis of each student, creating exclusive potential groups with just seven students in each group, and using techniques with deep down unit/chapter/concept level analysis.

In addition to the educational aspects, we also strengthened the mental aspects of students by organising yoga sessions for a balanced mind, giving addresses by external dieticians and medical professionals on healthy diet, and hosting motivational talks by the toppers of the past year(s). This helped in overcoming the challenges faced by students and they were benefitted with our 360-degree approach.''

It is a great achievement for us and a matter of immense pride that our students have crafted yet another success story this year too overcoming the situational challenges. "We are proud of all our students, their parents, and mentors," said an elated Mr. Mohit Sardana, Director, FIITJEE

"This year's dip in cut off marks reflects that the exam has become tougher as compared to the earlier year. A closer look at the question paper analysing the Easy, Moderate and Difficulty level of paper reveals that the difficulty level has gone up significantly. To put in perspective the cut off IIT Bombay making paper in 2015 vis a vis this year in 2022, there is seen a dip in cut off at 35%," adds Mr. Mohit Sardana, Director, FIITJEE.

Students were put to stiff test this year, as large number of students scored fewer marks as compared to earlier years, resulting in a dip in the cut-off marks for the JEE advanced exams. Last year AIR topper was 340 out of 360 while this year it is 314/360 for the AIR topper, so there is a dip of around 8 percent vis a vis last year. Some of the reasons for the dip in performance of students in this year includes Multiple exams for students at the same time putting additional pressure, delay in examination schedule resulting in less synchronised preparation calendar for the aspirants, Format of examination viz students finding it the paper lengthier, poor logistics where students faced considerable problems in handling the interface & hardware at Examination centre, lack of social bonding with other students resulting in limited focus for students that is supplemental in harnessing all round development.
