The JEE Advanced, 2019 will be conducted in a Computer Based Test (CBT) mode. It consists of 2 papers, each of 3 hours. It will have questions from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Though the official format has not been revealed, we will list down the various types of questions asked in previous years-
- All questions are objective. They are of two types- MCQ’s or Numerical Value Answer type. No marks are deducted for unattempted questions.
- In MCQ’s, there are two varieties. The first one is where only a single option is correct. In this case, full marks are awarded for choosing the right option while marks are deducted for a wrong option.
- The second one is where multiple options are correct. A candidate gets full marks for choosing all the right options and partial marks for choosing some of the right options. However, if any of the options chosen is wrong, then marks are ONLY deducted.
- For Numerical Value Answer type questions, full marks are given for the right answer. There is no negative marking for a wrong answer.
