There will be 50 (fifty) questions in each paper with full marks 100 and the duration of test will be 90 minutes. 2.5 Mode of answering in the examination Questions are to be answered on specially designed optical machine-readable response (OMR) sheet, which will be evaluated by Optical Mark Recognition method. 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 ball point 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. Hence it is advised that candidate should be sure about the answer before marking and should not put any stray mark on which he/she does not want to attempt. 2.6 Scoring Methodology a) All questions will have four answer options. b) Only one option is correct. c) Correct response will yield 2 (two) marks. d) Incorrect response will yield -1/2 (25% negative) marks. e) For any combination of response with more than one option, the said answer will be treated as incorrect and will yield -1/2 (25% negative) marks f) No response will yield zero mark.
