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.
