VTUEEE 2015 :
Scheme of Examination:
COMPUTER BASED TEST(CBT)-VTUEEE 2015
PAPER AND PENCIL TEST(PPT)-VTUEEE 2015
Both online and offline are based on Bloom’s Taxonomy Pattern. We examine the subject knowledge ability, comprehension ability and critical analysis ability. The questions are one tier and two tier multiple choice types.

(A) Develops an appreciation of the importance of testing.
(B) Writes appropriate test questions.
(C) Realizes the importance of validity.
(D) Understands the concepts.

(C) Long-term memory
(D) Mono-auditory memory
Analysis questions
Outcome: Recognizes unstated assumptions.
Question: Which one of the following unstated assumptions is this teacher making?
(A) Students go to school to learn.
(B) Teachers use essay tests primarily.
(C) Tests make no contribution to learning.
(D) Tests do not indicate a student’s absolute level of learning.
Outcome: Identifies the meaning of specific testing instruments.

A. Diagnostic test.
B. Formative test.
C. Pretest.
D. Summative test.
Two-tier MCQs
• Two-Tier MCQs are similar in format to traditional MCQs but as the name suggests, they contain a second tier of questioning associated with the main question
• The aim of the second tier is to promote higher thinking and reasoning skills among students.
• The first tier of the question usually pertains to a knowledge statement while the second element of the question facilitates the testing of the students learning beyond recall and into the higher levels of think
• Two-Tier MCQs increase the validity of MCQs.
Example of Two-tier MCQ-1
Question:Why did the solution finally become colorless?
(A) Copper has formed a precipitate.
(B) Zinc is more reactive than copper (II) sulfate.
(C) The copper (II) sulfate has completely reacted.
(D) Zinc has dissolved, just like sugar dissolves in water.
The reason for the answer is:
1. Zinc ions are soluble in water.
2. Zinc loses electrons more readily than copper.
3. Soluble, blue Cu2+ ions have formed insoluble, reddish-brown copper atoms.
4. In aqueous solution Cu2+ ions produce a blue solution, while Zn2+ ions produce a colorless solution.
Example of Two-tier MCQ-2
Four oranges are squeezed to make six glasses of juice. How much juice can be made from six oranges? (Assume that all the oranges are the same size.)
(A) 7 glasses
(B) 8 glasses
(C) 9 glasses
(D) 10 glasses
The reason for the answer is:
1. The number of glasses compared to the number of oranges will always be in the ratio 3-2.
2. With more oranges, the differences will be less.
3. The difference in the number will always be two.
4. With four oranges the difference was 2. With six oranges the difference would be two more .
5. There is no way to predicting.
Entrance examination paper shall consist of three parts, namely Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry having 50, 25 and 25 multiple choice type questions respectively for all B.Tech. Programmes.
i.All questions are multiple choice type
ii.Each question shall carry one mark.
iii.There shall be no penalty for wrong answer.
iv.The duration of the entrance examination will be2 ½ hours.
