1)Difficulty of the mode of the examination
Pros of online over offline
a.If you are a computer literate , it will save you some time from bubbling or marking OMR. (15 minutes can give lot of head start)
b.You can change your answer at any moment of time .
c. You can see all your answers,no of questions marked .
d. you can see the time remaining , no need to ask the invigilator .
e.They will give you unlimited no of rough sheets :P
f.A/C in summer
g. a college equipped with a computer lab is allotted to you, better chance of getting a good centre ( I got a LKG classroom with tiny tini benches for my boards)
Cons
a.If you don’t practice , it will be consuming , you might panic .
while you have been writing on paper exams for ages
b.You’l keep wavering and won’t confirm some answers , once you’ve marked that question in offline , you dont need to think about it again.
2)Difficulty of level of examination
this purely depends on your luck .
I have read some answers below that on line paper will be tough .
But one thing I don’t like even if online paper is tougher by chance , they dont normalize the marks , just take the average *Facepalm* .
I will just give you the trends .
2013
I was in 11th . All my seniors gave on line , the paper they gave ( 9th) was very easy compared to offline.
Highest in our campus , a whooping 330
2014
following the trend I gave online .
I gave it on the 2nd day , as it was considered a auspicious day *facepalm* .
The paper was very tough compared to off line and other papers according to the Internet and my whole college . I could have scored 50 more marks if I gave the 9th paper .
But the average cut off was mostly decided on offline as 70% people gave offline .
2015
I gave offline this time . Both papers were comparable this time .
