AUTHOR-J.P.Sinha. Delhi based Teacher for IIT-JEE/PMT

IIT-JEE-2009 consisted of two question papers of three hours duration each. Each question paper carried 240 marks. Thus the total maximum marks for IIT-JEE-2009 was 480. Questions from all the three subjects- chemistry, physics and mathematics- were present in each of the paper.

PAPER-1

Paper-1 contained 60 questions in total - 20 of chemistry, 20 of maths and 20 of physics. Paper-1 consisted of 3 Parts. Part-1 contained 20 questions of chemistry. Part-2 contained 20 questions of maths, and similarly Part-3 contained 20 questions of physics.

Questions in each PART were grouped into four sections.

SECTION-1 of each PART cotained 8 multiple choice questions(MCQs). In these, each question had 4 choices (A), (B), (C) and (D) for its answer, out of which only one was correct. Marking Scheme was : Three(3) marks for each correct attempt. Zero(0) Marks for not attempting a question, and, minus one (-1) for wrong attempt of a question.

SECTION-2 of each PART contained 4 MCQs. Each question had 4 choices (A), (B), (C) and (D) for its answer, out of which ONE or MORE could be correct. And to get marks a student was required to identify all the correct choices in a question. Marking Scheme was : Four(4) marks for each correct attempt. Zero(0) Marks for not attempting a question, and, minus one (-1) for wrong attempt of a question.

SECTION-3 of each PART consisted of two groups of questions. Each group was based of a paragraph and contained 3 questions. Thus there were 6 questions in this section. In these, each question had 4 choices (A), (B), (C) and (D) for its answer, out of which only one was correct. Marking Scheme was : Four(4) marks for each correct attempt. Zero(0) Marks for not attempting a question, and, minus one (-1) for wrong attempt of a question.

SECTION-4 of each PART contained 2 questions. Each question was Matching Type. There were two columns in each question. Column 1 had four statements ( A,B,C and D) and Column 2 had five statements ( p,q,r,s and t ). Any statement  in Column 1 can have correct matching with one or more statements of Column 2. Marking Scheme: Two (2) marks were awarded for identifying all the correct matches of a statement in Column 1 with those  of statements in Column-2. Thus for 4 statements in Column 1, each question allowed an opportunity to score upto a maximum of 8 marks. There were no negative marking for incorrect matchings in this section. For getteing marks, however, a student was required to identify all the correct matches of a statement in Column-1 with those in Column-2 to get 2 marks for that statement.
