Hi there,

Jee mains patterns says

Right answer +4

Wrong answer -1

So if you are giving a wrong answer your 1 marks will be deductes along with the actual 4 marks which you could get if you answered it right it's not -5.

For example total score is 300 that's is 75×4 so if you leave any question you are letting go +4 and if you a doing a wrong question you are letting go+4 along with one minus marking that sums up to -5 from the total of 300 not for the particular question.

Hello aspirant

Hope you are doing great there. For every incorrect question , you loose 5 marks :-

-1 as negative marks

and -4 for incorrect answer

So yes if you give an incorrect answer you will loose 5 marks

For ex- If you have got attempts 10 question then if all 10 are correct then you will get 40 marks

If out of these 10 question, 1 in incorrect then you will get 35 marks

I hope you got your answer

Wish you all the very best!

No

If your answer is correct, you will get +4 marks.

If your answer is incorrect, you will get -1 mark only and not -5.

If you did not attempt any question, you will get 0 mark for that question.

Hope this helps !
