Hey there!
The JEE Mains paper 1 (B.E/ B.TECH) consists of two section. Section A and Section B
SECTION A consists of Multiple choice question of subject Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with 20 questions for each subject with +4 marks on correct answer and -1 on incorrect answer, where students can attempt all the questions i.e. 60 questions can be attempted.
SECTION B consists of Numerical value of same subjects as in section A with 10 questions for each subject with +4 marks on correct answer and -1 marks on incorrect one, however number of questions can be attempted is 5 questions for each subject which means, in total 15 questions can be attempted out of 30.
B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN
Hence combining section A and section B, 75 questions can be attempted out of 90.
However it is totally depends on the candidate that how many question he/she is able to attempt out of that 75 question, if the individual has gone through the syllabus very well it is easy for them to attempt most of the questions out of it.
I hope this info will help you!
Hi there.
If you want to score around 100 marks, think about attempting 30-35 questions. For instance, if you attempt 35 questions and 5 of them are incorrect, your score will be (30*4)-5=115 which is decent, you will qualify for advanced, and depending on the difficulty and the number of students, you may get a percentile close to 88 if you have prepared exceptionally. But so far you can even attempt all the questions and aim at 200 + if you feel confident about it.
