    TISS 2007

    (21st January 2007)

    As always, TISS was the least transparent exam of the season. No student who took
    the test knew the weightage of individual questions, forget about the overall paper.
    According to the prospectus, the written test should have been of 70 marks. But,
    there were 120 Q's. How this gets converted to 70 marks is anybody's guess. For
    the purpose off our evaluation we have assumed that all questions had equal
    weightage and the total marks were indeed 70 as the prospectus mentioned. The
    test-paper said that there would be negative marking for wrong answers, but the
    extent of negative marking was not revealed! The paper was terribly easy. For a
    well prepared student, clearing the cut-off score of 43 should be difficult.
