JEE mains, will now be conducted by NTA (National Testing Academy) instead of CBSE. Yet, most of the Syllabus is common for JEE and your board exam.

¼ is the probability, if I’m correct I’ll get 4 marks, but if I’m wrong it ends up just being 1 mark less!
It sure sounds persuasive and thus many of the students have the propensity of going for a guesswork for questions they don’t know. Be it 1 mark, but too many negative marks and you end up losing a great deal. It is suggested that you leave the question that you don’t know the respective answer. This is among the most important tips to crack JEE mains that one can give!
But, it’s not the same case in JEE Advanced! Some of the sections in a JEE advanced question paper do not contain negative marks, by any means you are not supposed to leave these sections.

It is suggested you got through every kind of problem and practice only the difficult ones.
