WBJEE 2018 (West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination) is offline mode (OMR based examination) which is being conducted by WBJEEB for admission to Under graduate and Post graduate Professional and Vocational Courses both in the Undergraduate and Post graduate level.

Mode of answering in the examination
a) Questions are to be answered on specially designed optical machine readable response (OMR) sheet, which will be evaluated by the method of Optical Mark Recognition. Thus it is very important to follow the correct method of marking.
b) There will be four alternative answers for each question. Candidate will indicate response to the questions by darkening the appropriate circle completely with blue/black ball point pen.
c) Any other kind of marking e.g. filling the bubble incompletely, filling with pencil, cross mark, tick mark, dot mark, circular mark, over writing, scratching, erasing, white ink, marking outside the bubble etc. may lead to wrong/partial/ambiguous reading of the response. WBJEEB will be, in no way, responsible for such eventuality.
d) Response marking cannot be edited/changed/erased/modified. Hence it is advised that the candidate should be sure about the answer before marking and should not put any stray mark on which he/she does not want to attempt
Scoring Methodology
Question type: Scoring methodology
Category–I :
a) Only one option is correct.
b) Correct response will yield 1 (one) mark.
c) Incorrect response will yield -1/4 (25% negative) marks.
d) For any combination of response with more than one
option, the said answer will be treated as incorrect
and will yield -1/4 (25% negative) marks.
e) Not attempting the question will fetch zero mark.
Category–II :
a) Only one option is correct.
b) Correct response will yield 2(two) marks.
c) Incorrect response will yield -1/2 (25% negative) marks.
d) For any combination of response with more than one option, the said answer will be treated as incorrect and will yield -1/2 (25% negative) marks.
e) Not attempting the question will fetch zero mark.
Category–III :
a) One or more options may be correct.
b) Only all Correct response will yield 2(two) marks.
c) Any combination of correct and wrong response
will be treated as incorrect and will yield 0 (zero) mark.
d) For partially correct response, marks awarded will be = 2 x (no. of correct options marked total no. of correct options).
e) Not attempting the question will fetch zero mark.
Ranking Methodology and publication of Merit Lists
Based on the papers (subjects) appeared in the WBJEE-2018 followed by marks scored there-of, two separate Merit Rank Lists shall be published by the Board as per the following details:
A. General Merit Rank: (GMR)
a. This list shall be prepared based on the total score obtained in paper-I and paper-II.
b. GMR shall be applicable for admission to all Engineering / Technology / Architecture Courses and to the Pharmacy Course in Jadavpur University.
c. Ranking shall be done in the descending order of total marks scored in all the subjects. In case of ties, tie-breaking rules as given in 2.9 shall be applicable.
d. Counselling and admission will be done on the basis of GMR only.
e. Separate reserved category merit position will also be indicated for information for respective category of students e.g. SC Rank, ST Rank, OBC-A Rank, OBC-B Rank, PwD Rank, TFW Rank. But category ranks are prepared only for sequencing the deserving candidates within the respective category
B. Pharmacy Merit Rank: (PMR)
a. This list shall be prepared based on the score in paper-II only.
b. PMR shall be applicable for admission to all Pharmacy Courses except in Jadavpur University.
c. Ranking shall be done in the descending order of marks scored in paper-II. In case of ties, tie-breaking rules as given in 2.9 shall be applicable.
d. Counselling and admission will be done on the basis of PMR only.
e. Separate reserved category merit position will also be indicated for information for respective category of students e.g. SC Rank, ST Rank, OBC-A Rank, OBC-B Rank, PwD Rank, TFW Rank. But category ranks are prepared only for sequencing the deserving candidates within the respective category
C. Papers and ranks:
Tie breaking Rule for GMR
a) Less negative marks in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry taken together
b) More positive marks in Mathematics and Physics taken together
c) More positive marks in Mathematics and Chemistry taken together d) Less negative marks in Mathematics and Physics taken together
e) Less negative marks in Mathematics and Chemistry taken together f) More positive marks in Mathematics for only the 2 marks questions g) More positive marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
h) More positive marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions
i) Less negative marks in Mathematics for only the 2 marks questions j) Less negative marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
Tie breaking Rule for PMR
a) Less negative marks in Physics & Chemistry b) More positive marks in Chemistry
c) Less negative marks in Chemistry
d) More positive marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions e) Less negative marks in Chemistry for only the 2 marks questions f) More positive marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
g) Less negative marks in Physics for only the 2 marks questions
Final Tie-breaking rule for GMR and PMR
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 candidate having preference over the younger one.
