JEE Advanced 2020 Marking Scheme
Paper 1 and Paper 2 of JEE Advanced 2020 exam followed a similar pattern. The total number of questions on each paper was 54. In Paper 1, Section 1 for each subject had six questions of the single correct answer type, +3 for every correct answer and -1 in the case of a wrong answer. There were 6 MCQs in Section 2; each correct answer gets +4 marks and a negative mark of -2 for wrong answers. Six questions in Section 3 were of the numerical value kind of +4 marks each, and there was no negative marking.
In Paper 2, only Section 1 differed from Paper 1, in which 6 Integer Value types questions were asked; each correct answer was given +3 marks each, and the wrong response was given a negative mark of -1. Total marks for combined Paper 1 and Paper 2 were 396 marks.
