The approach can be expected to improve the test-taking ability of these candidates.
With the nationwide lockdown, the campus academic activities of coaching institutes as well as regular schools have been disrupted. The HRD ministry launched the practice test mobile application which came in handy for candidates like Lakhan Singh of Rajasthan. "This app is really helpful for JEE aspirants. And mostly for those students who belong to rural area and whose income is not enough," he said.
The test is not just about answering the questions and getting a score. "Concepts are cleared with the question. I think no App can be comparable," said another test-taker, Joshita J. The app offers a practice test on JEE (Main) and NEET-UG every day and a candidate can take as many per choice. At the end of the test, the candidate gets a score card, the questions where she went wrong and an explainer on why it is wrong. The candidate also gets a hand of time management - how much time for a correct and incorrect answer as compared to others.
Based on the first 16 days of data, a total of 9,97,904 candidates have taken the practice tests. Nearly 60% of these are NEET-UG test-takers.
