WBJEEB Joint Entrance For Computer Applications Course (JECA) - Scoring Methodology And Tie Breaking Methodology

•Scoring Methodology
✓Category 1:-
a) Only one option is correct.
b) Correct response will yield 1 (one) mark for each question.
c) Incorrect response will yield -1/4 (25% negative) marks for each question.
d) For any combination of more than one option, even if it contains the correct option, the said answer will be treated as incorrect and will yield -¼ (negative ¼) marks.
e) Not attempting the question will fetch zero mark.

✓Category 2:-
a) One or more options is/are correct.
b) Marking all correct options only will yield 2 (two) marks.
c) For any combination of answers containing one or more incorrect options, the said answer will be treated as incorrect, and it will yield zero (0) mark even if one or more of the chosen options is/are correct.
d) For partially correct answers, i.e., when all correct options are not marked and also no incorrect options are marked, marks awarded = 2 × (no of correct options marked) / (total no of actually correct options).
e) Not attempting the question will fetch 0 marks

•Tie–breaking Methodology in determination of Merit Rank
A. Paper - I
1. Less negative marks in total.
2. More positive marks in Mathematics.
3. Less negative marks in Mathematics.
4. More positive marks in Physics.
5. Less negative marks in Physics.
6. More positive marks in Chemistry.
7. Less negative marks in Chemistry.
8. More positive marks in Fundamentals of Electrical & Electronics Engg.
9. Less negative marks in Fundamentals of Electrical & Electronics Engg.

B. Paper-II:
1. Less negative marks in total.
C. After application of the Tie-breaking Rules as applicable if there be still ties, the same will be broken by the date of birth (DOB) of the candidates, with the older having preference over the younger one. If the tie still remains then it will be decided by the application number in ascending order.
