Category 1:
- Only one option is correct, correct response will yield one mark.
- For each incorrect response, 25% of full mark (1/4) would be deducted and
- For more than one answer indicated against a particular question in the OMR sheet; the said answer will be treated as incorrect response/answer. 1/4 mark will be deducted.
Category 2:
- Only one option is correct, correct response will yield two marks.
- For each incorrect response, 25% of full marks (1/4) would be deducted
- For more than one answer indicated ,1/4 rd mark will be cut.
Category 3:
- More than one option may be correct and marking of all correct options only will yield two marks.
- For any combination of answers containing one or more incorrect responses, net mark awarded will be zero (0)
- For partially correct response without any incorrect marking:
Marks awarded = 2 X (no of correct responses) / (total no of correct options)
Ranking methodology & Rules of Tie Breaking:
For WBJEE-2013, the merit list for successful candidates in the Engineering category will be prepared by listing them in the descending order of the total marks scored by them. However, in case of a tie,it will be broken by sequentially applying the following set of rules:
- Less negative marks in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry taken together
- More positive marks in Mathematics and Physics taken together
- More positive marks in Mathematics and Chemistry taken together
- Less negative marks in Mathematics and Physics taken together
- Less negative marks in Mathematics and Chemistry taken together
- More positive marks in Mathematics for only the 2 marks questions
- More positive marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
- More positive marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions
- Less negative marks in Mathematics for only the 2 marks questions
- Less negative marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
- Less negative marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions
If after applying the 11 rules stated above there are still ties, same will be broken by the date of birth (DOB) of the concerned candidates; the older candidate will be given preference over the younger one.
