JEE Advanced 2026: Marking scheme
The marking scheme varies depending on the type of question. Single-correct MCQs typically carry +3 marks for the correct answer and a negative mark for incorrect responses, while multiple-correct questions offer +4 marks for fully correct answers along with partial marking in some cases and negative marking for wrong choices. Numerical answer type questions usually award full marks for the correct response without any negative marking.
Tie-breaking rule
In case of a tie in total marks, the ranking is decided through a tie-breaking process where candidates with higher positive marks are given preference. If the tie still persists, higher marks in Mathematics are considered first, followed by Physics. If all criteria remain equal, the candidates are assigned the same rank.
