JEE Advanced (Paper-2) Review:

Total marks for article 2: 198 and duration: 3 hrs. The document had (54) questions in total.

The article had (03) three parts: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Max. The scores for each part were 66.

In each part there are three sections: Sec-1 (Max. Marks-18), Sec-2 (Max. Marks-24) and Sec-3 (Max. Marks-24)

Sec-1 had (06) Six questions. The answer to each question was a single digit numeric (0 to 9)

Marking scheme in this section:

Full points: +3 If only correct numeric value was entered

Zero Marks :: 0 If none of the options is chosen

Negative marks: -2 in all other cases

Sec-2 had (06) Six questions with four choices in which ONE OR MORE THAN ONE (s) choice (s) were correct.

Marking scheme in this section:

Full score: +4 If only (all) the correct options are chosen

Partial marks: +3 If all four options are correct but ONLY three correct options are chosen

Partial marks: +2 If three or more options are correct but only two correct options are chosen

Partial marks: +1 if two or more options are correct but only one correct option is chosen

Zero Marks :: 0 If none of the options is chosen

Negative marks: -2 in all other cases

Sec-3 had (06) Six questions. The answer to each question was a NUMERICAL VALUE. If the numerical value had more than two decimal places, the value was truncated / rounded to TWO decimal places.

Marking scheme in this section:

Full points: +4 If only correct numerical value was entered
