2.5 Scoring Methodology
Category Scoring methodology
1 a) Only one option is correct.
b) Correct response will yield 1 (one) mark for each question.
c) Incorrect response will yield -1/4 (25% negative) marks for each
question.
d) 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.
e) Not attempting the question will fetch zero mark.
2 a) One or more options is/are correct.
b) Marking all correct options only will yield 2 (two) marks.
c) 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 options is/are
correct.
d) For partially correct answers, i.e., when all correct options are not
marked and also no incorrect options are marked, marks awarded =
2 × (no of correct options marked) / (total no of actually correct
options)
e) Not attempting the question will fetch 0 marks
..

2.6 Mode of answering in the examination
a) 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.
b) Candidates will indicate response to the questions by darkening the
appropriate circle/ bubble completely with blue/black ink ball point pen.
c) 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.
d) Response marking cannot be edited/changed/erased/modified.

2.7 Ranking Methodology and Merit Lists
WBJEEB will prepare merit ranks based on the candidates’ score in the Common
Entrance Test. Individual candidates will be able to view and download his/her Rank
Card, which will contain score and rank. WBJEEB does not publish any rank/score
list for public to ensure confidentiality to each individual candidate.
Based on the papers (subjects) appeared for and the marks scored, two separate
Merit Ranks shall be generated in the following method:
a) General Merit Rank: (GMR)
i. A sequence of General Merit Rank (GMR) will be prepared based on the score
in Paper-I.
ii. Ranking shall be done in the descending order of marks scored. In case of
ties, tie-breaking rules as given in 2.8 shall be applicable.
iii. Separate reserved category merit position will also be indicated for
respective category of students e.g., SC Rank, ST Rank, OBC-A Rank, OBC-B
Rank, PWD Rank, etc., as applicable.
iv. Admission into all courses except BHA will be based on GMR.
v. Sequencing order for counselling/allotment of seat/admission will be
based on GMR only (not on category ranks). Category ranks are for
information only to candidates of respective category.
b) BHA Merit Rank: (BMR)
i. A sequence of BHA Merit Rank (BMR) will be prepared based on the score in
paper-II only.
ii. Ranking shall be done in the descending order of marks scored in paper-II. In
case of ties, tie-breaking rules as given in 2.8 shall be applicable.
iii. Separate reserved category merit position will also be indicated for
respective category of students e.g., SC/ ST/ OBC-A/ OBC-B/ PWD/ EWS etc.,
as applicable.
iv. Admission into BHA course will be based on BMR.
v. Sequencing for allotment of seat will be based on BMR only (not on
category ranks). Category ranks are only for information to candidates of
respective category.
c) Category ranks are generated based on the category information given by the
candidates during online application, but documents are verified during
counselling/ admission. Hence, candidate’s certificates/ documents/ proofs must
be valid as on the date of verification. If during verification, any candidate’s claim
is found invalid at that time, his/her category rank will be cancelled, and the
candidate will be considered in general category. Category ranks of other
candidates will not be revised.
