On 27th January 2018, INJSO
(Indian National Junior Science Olympiad) – 2018 exam was conducted by
the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) at many centers all
over the country. INJSO is the second stage for selection of aspiring
and talented students in the Junior Science Olympiad Program. The
student can move forward to attend the Orientation Cum Selection Camp
(OCSC) after clearing this stage.
Eligibility: Only Indian
citizens born between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2004, (both days
inclusive) and are students studying in Class X or lower as of November
30, 2017, can apply and appear for NSEJS 2017. The student must not
appear any of the senior science Olympiad. The student has to himself
re-assure his eligibility. At any stage if the student is found to be
not eligible for the exam, he/she may be disqualified from the program.
Student satisfying these criterion can apply and appear for INJSO 2018 after clearing NSEJS, 2017.
Syllabus: No detailed syllabus is given for INJSO. There were questions from Physics, Biology and Chemistry.Student satisfying these criterion can apply and appear for INJSO 2018 after clearing NSEJS, 2017.
Question Paper: The
medium of test was English only and it comprised of 42 question (30
objective type questions with 1 marks each and -0.25 negative marking
for incorrect answer and 12 subjective type of total 60 marks) correct.
Merit Clause: Approximately 35 students are to be selected for camp.
Overall Marks Distribution
The medium of test was English only and
it comprised of 42 question (30 objective type questions with 1 marks
each and -0.25 negative marking for incorrect answer and 12 subjective
type of total 60 marks) correct. Subject wise breakup is given below.
| Subject | Class 9 | Class 10 | Class 11 | Class 12 | Total |
| Total Marks | Total Marks | Total Marks | Total Marks | Total Marks | |
| Biology | 15.5 | 13 | 28.5 | ||
| Chemistry | 7.5 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 31.5 |
| Physics | 10 | 10 | 8 | 2 | 30 |
| Grand Total | 17.5 | 19 | 31.5 | 22 | 90 |
Overall Difficulty Level Analysis
In this analysis we have rated every
question on a scale of 1 to 3. The ratings are done by expert faculty
members of Resonance. The individual ratings are then averaged to
calculate overall difficulty level.
- 1: Easy
- 2: Moderate
- 3: Difficult
| Subject | Difficulty Level |
| Biology | 2.14 |
| Chemistry | 2.27 |
| Physics | 2.30 |
| Total | 2.24 |
Difficulty Level Analysis: No of Questions
| Subject | Easy Level | Medium Level | Difficult Level | Total |
| Total Marks | Total Marks | Total Marks | Total Marks | |
| Biology | 1 | 22.5 | 5 | 28.50 |
| Chemistry | 6.5 | 10 | 15 | 31.50 |
| Physics | 7 | 7 | 16 | 30.00 |
| Grand Total | 14.5 | 39.5 | 36 | 90 |
Resonance’s Experts feel that all
subjects were of similar difficulty level, while Biology was on easier
side compared to Chemistry & Physics. While around 14.5 Marks can be
considered easy overall, 39.5 marks are moderately difficulty and 36
marks are considered difficult by Resonance Team.
Overall, it is felt by Resonance Faculty
Team that paper was on easier side compared to last year’s paper and the
cut-off is expected to be higher than that of last year.
