Marking Scheme
- Once candidates have viewed the answer key and OMR sheet, they can also tally their answers by matching the answers marked in their answer sheet and the answers given in answer key. If the answer is correct, the candidate will be awarded 4 marks for each question.
- If the answer marked by the candidate doesn’t match with the answers provided in the answer sheet, it means the candidate has marked an incorrect response. So, the answer will be negatively marked i.e. the ¼ of the marks allotted to that particular question will be deducted.
- If a candidate didn’t attempt a question, that question will not be evaluated and the candidate will secure zero marks for that particular question. Based on this marking scheme and the number of questions attempted correct and incorrect, the candidate can calculate the total marks they will be securing in the JEE Mains.
