My performance on D-Day

Overview:

My BVP-CET Exam(for admission to B.Tech programs of Bharti Vidyapeeth College of Engineering)was scheduled for 11th July 2022. All the preparation I had done for it was the JEE Prep from my coaching institute Allen. My exam center was at TCS iON, Thane, and was scheduled from 9 AM to 12 PM. The exam was initially scheduled to be in hybrid mode, where students could opt for either online or offline mode of exam attendance....

My thoughts:

Being underprepared, I didn’t expect much. Seeing all the Quora reviews where they’re saying that CSE closes at the top 120 ranks and COMPS at the top 150 ranks, I thought it’d take quite an effort to pull it off. Due to its low fees despite being under a private deemed university, many lower middle-class families too wanted to make their children study there....

My performance on D-Day:

Nevertheless, with this array of thoughts, I entered the exam hall, formally dressed, unlike those many candidates who were in normal dress. It was a better experience than the exams I had given so far, scoring 120/200 in a lengthy paper, consisting of 200 1-mark questions within 3 hours from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics(yes, no Logical Reasoning and English, unlike most of the other private entrance exams!). The questions were of Boards-level, comparable with MHT-CET difficulty. I messed up the Chemistry section due to a few silly mistakes and confusing answers. I had no correct options among the given, and were later on marked as 0 for everyone I guess:)...

My Final Result:

Expecting a sub-par rank of around 400-500, I felt dissatisfied, however, when I checked the rank, it turned out to be 157!...

My personal feelings:

Wow!...

Aftermath and branch allotment:

Felt happy,went for counselling,offline(yes,very tedious but no chances of errors),the Principal herself was alloting the seats and branches based on ranks and availability.As expected,missed out on CSE(by just 1 seat) and got alloted COMPS....
