Bandaru and Rana were not alone. Hundreds of students echoed a similar sentiment with regard to the physics section, which carries 20-25 per cent theory-based questions and, with the rest numerical-based.
An employee of FIITJEE, a coaching institute, Ramesh Batlish, said, ‘Based on the level of questions, the cut-offs are expected to go high’.
Batlish also added ‘JEE(Main)’s paper-I had three sections – chemistry, mathematics and physics – with 30 questions in each section (single correct answer from four options). The marking scheme was +4 for a correct response and -1 for an incorrect response and no marks will be deducted if unattempted. The test was held on an optical reader sheet.’
