• Paper 1 and Paper 2 are separate 3-hour papers; JEE Advanced Mock N Paper 2 is in the Paper 2 list.
• Matching-list questions: +4 for the correct option, −1 for a wrong one.
• Single correct: +3 for the correct option, −1 for a wrong one.
• One or more correct: +4 only if all correct options (and nothing else) are chosen. If every option you choose is correct but you miss some, you get +1 for each one chosen (so +3, +2 or +1). Choosing any wrong option gives −2.
• Numerical questions have no negative marking. Type the value with the on-screen keypad; where decimals are asked, give two decimal places.
• English only for now; the real paper is also offered in Hindi.

• Paper 2 of each mock goes with Paper 1 of the same number; together they make one full JEE Advanced.
• Single correct: +3 for the correct option, −1 for a wrong one.
• One or more correct: +4 only if all correct options (and nothing else) are chosen. If every option you choose is correct but you miss some, you get +1 for each one chosen (so +3, +2 or +1). Choosing any wrong option gives −2.
