WBJEEM Pattern of Questions & Mode of Answering
Question Pattern:
Questions will be based on the syllabus for WBJEEM-2015 as given in APPENDIX – I.
In every subject, all questions will be Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ-type, with four options against each of the questions) and the answer(s) to each of the questions has to be marked on the OMR.

Questions will be of three categories, divided as per following table.
Subject Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 Total Marks
Mathematics 60 X 1 mark 10 X 2 marks each 10 X 2 marks each 100
Biological Sciences 90 X 1 mark 15 X 2 marks each 15 X 2 marks each 150
Physics & Chemistry 30 X 1 mark 30 X 1 mark 5 X 2 marks 5 X 2 marks 5 X 2 marks 5 X 2 marks 50 + 50 = 100
Category 1:
(a). Only one option is correct, correct response will yield 1 (one) mark.
(b). For incorrect response, 25% of full mark (1/4) would be deducted and
(c). For more than one answer indicated against a particular question in the OMR sheet; the said answer will be treated as incorrect response/answer. Marks will be deducted on the basis of rule enumerated in Clause (b) above.
Category 2:
(a). Only one option is correct, correct response will yield 2 (two) marks.
(b). For incorrect response, 25% of full marks (1/2) would be deducted and
(c). For more than one answer indicated against a particular question in the OMR sheet; the said answer will be treated as incorrect response/answer. Marks will be deducted on the basis of rule enumerated in Clause (b) above.
Category 3:
(a). More than one option may be correct and marking of all correct options will yield 2 (two) marks.
(b). For any combination of answers containing one or more incorrect responses, net mark awarded will be zero (0) and
(c). For partially correct response without any incorrect marking: Marks awarded = 2 X (no of correct responses) / (total no of correct options)
Mode of Answering:
Questions must be answered on specially designed machine readable answer sheets (OMR Answer Sheet). ANSWERS ARE TO BE MARKED (BUBBLED) USING BLUE/BLACK BALL POINT PEN ONLY ON THE ‘OMR ANSWER SHEET.’
N.B. It is to be noted carefully that the candidates must fill in as well as bubble in ALL the relevant information including the “Question Booklet No” at the indicated places on both OMR Answer Sheet and Attendance Sheet during examination.
Ranking methodology and Rules of Tie Breaking:
In WBJEEM-2015, there will be three separate merit lists: (i) Engineering, (ii) Medical and (iii) Pharmacy (for Pharmacy colleges other than Jadavpur University).
The merit list for successful candidates in the Engineering category will be prepared by listing them in the descending order of the total marks scored by them. However, there may be ties and such ties will be broken by sequentially applying the following set of rules:
1. Less negative marks in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry taken together
2. More positive marks in Mathematics and Physics taken together
3. More positive marks in Mathematics and Chemistry taken together
4. Less negative marks in Mathematics and Physics taken together
5. Less negative marks in Mathematics and Chemistry taken together
6. More positive marks in Mathematics for only the 2 marks questions
7. More positive marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
8. More positive marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions
9. Less negative marks in Mathematics for only the 2 marks questions
10. Less negative marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
11. Less negative marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions
The merit list for successful candidates in the Medical category will be prepared by listing them in the descending order of the total marks scored by them. However, there may be ties and such ties will be broken by sequentially applying the following set of rules:
1. Less negative marks in Biology, Physics and Chemistry taken together
2. More positive marks in Biology and Chemistry taken together
3. More positive marks in Biology and Physics taken together
4. Less negative marks in Biology and Chemistry taken together
5. Less negative marks in Biology and Physics taken together
6. More positive marks in Biology for only the 2 marks questions
7. More positive marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions
8. More positive marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
9. Less negative marks in Biology for only the 2 marks questions
10. Less negative marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions
11. Less negative marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
For Pharmacy course at Jadavpur University, the merit list of Engineering will be considered. For Pharmacy (other than Jadavpur University), a separate merit list will be prepared. The list will be prepared as per the descending order of the total marks scored in Physics & Chemistry by candidates from all types (‘E’, ‘M’, ‘C’). However, there may be ties and such ties will be broken by sequentially applying the following set of rules:
1. Less negative marks in Physics & Chemistry
2. More positive marks in Chemistry
3. Less negative marks in Chemistry
4. More positive marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions
5. Less negative marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions
6. More positive marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
7. Less negative marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
In generation of the Engineering, Medical and Pharmacy merit lists, if after applying the specified rules stated above there are still ties, same will be broken by the date of birth (DOB) of the concerned candidates; the older candidate will be given preference over the younger one.
