How to Estimate Your Score — Complete Marking Scheme 📊
Apna estimated score calculate karna bahut important hai — isse aapko idea milega ki qualify kar rahe hain ya nahi, aur JoSAA mein kaunsi IITs/branches target kar sakte hain.
🧮 JEE Advanced 2026 — Marking Scheme & Score Formula
MCQ (Multiple Correct): +4 all correct | Partial marks for partial correct | -2 for wrong
Numerical / Integer Type: +4 correct | 0 wrong | 0 unattempted
Match the Column: +3 per correct match | -1 per wrong match
Total Score = Paper 1 Score + Paper 2 Score
• Yeh estimated score hai — final score thoda alag ho sakta hai agar objections ke baad answer key mein changes aayein
• Subject-wise minimum cutoff bhi qualify karna zaroori hai — sirf aggregate se kaam nahi chalega
• Multiple correct MCQs mein partial marking hoti hai — agar 3 correct mein se 2 mark kiye aur koi galat nahi kiya toh partial marks milenge
How to File Objections — Complete Process (₹500/Question) ⚡
Agar aapko lagta hai ki provisional answer key mein kisi question ka answer galat hai, toh aap officially challenge kar sakte hain. Lekin time bahut kam hai — sirf kal (May 26) shaam 5 baje tak!
