Thus, it is very important to follow the correct method of marking.  Candidates will indicate response to the questions by darkening the appropriate circle/bubble completely with blue/black ink ballpoint pen.  Any other kind of marking e.g., filling the circle/bubble incompletely, filling with pencil, cross mark, tick mark, dot mark, circular mark, over writing, scratching, erasing, white ink, marking outside the circle/bubble etc. may lead to wrong/partial/ambiguous reading of the response. WBJEEB will be, in no way, responsible for such eventuality and this may lead to cancellation of OMR sheet.  Response marking cannot be edited/changed/erased/modified. 2.5 Scoring Methodology A) Questions of Category – 1 i. Only one option is correct. ii. Correct response will yield 1 (one) mark for each question. iii. Incorrect response will yield - ¼ (25% negative) marks for each question. iv. For any combination of more than one option, even if it contains the correct option the said answer will be treated as incorrect and will yield - ¼ (negative ¼) marks. v. Not attempting the question will fetch 0 mark. B) Questions of Category – 2 i. One or more option(s) is/are correct. ii. Marking all correct options only will yield 2 (two) marks for each question. iii. For any combination of answers containing one or more incorrect options, the said answer will be treated as incorrect, and it will yield zero (0) mark even if one or more of the chosen option(s) is/are correct. iv. For partially correct answers, i.e., when all correct options are not marked and also no incorrect options are marked, marks awarded = 2 x (no of correct options marked / total no of actually correct options). v. Not attempting the question will fetch 0 marks. 2.6 Ranking Methodology and publication of Merit Lists a) WBJEEB will prepare merit ranks based on the candidates’ score in the common entrance tests. Individual candidates will be able to view and download his/her Rank Card, which will contain score and rank. WBJEEB does not publish any ranks/score list for public to ensure confidentiality to each individual candidate. b) Two separate ranks will be published for ANM(R) and GNM.
