JEE‐2012 had two papers; each had three parts ‐ Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. In both the papers, parts 1, 2, and 3 contained 20 questions each in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, respectively. The questions were numbered consecutively in both the papers.
In Paper‐1, each part had three sections. Section‐1 had 10 multiple choice questions each having one correct answer with maximum of 3 marks; Section‐2 had 5 multiple choice questions each having one or more correct answer(s) with maximum of 4 marks; Section‐3 had 5 integer answer type questions each having maximum of 4 marks. There were negative markings for wrong answers in Section‐1, but no negative marking sin Sections‐2 and 3.
In Paper‐2, each part had three sections. Section‐1 had 8 multiple choice questions each having one correct answer with maximum of 3 marks; Section‐2 had 6 multiple choice questions relating to three questions with 2 questions on each paragraph and having only one correct answer with maximum of 3 marks; Section‐3 had 8 multiple choice questions each having one correct answer with maximum of 4 marks. There were negative markings for wrong answers in Section‐1 and Section‐2, but not in Section 3.
A candidate could have scored anything between −30 to 210 in Paper‐1, and between −42 to 198 in Paper‐2. That is, marks of a candidate might have taken any value between −72 to 408, with the minimum and maximum possible marks in each subject being −24 and 136, respectively. In two questions, one each in Chemistry and Mathematics of Paper 2 worth 3 and 4 marks respectively, all candidates were awarded zero marks. Therefore, the minimum and maximum possible marks in the Chemistry part would be −23 and 133 while that of Mathematics would be −24 and 132 respectively.
Relaxations of 10% and of 50% were given on the average marks in each subject for considering the OBC and SC/ST/PD category candidates for ranking.
The minimum mark scored was −64 (minus sixty four) and the maximum mark was 385.
The rounded off average marks secured in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics by the candidates were 16, 17, and 13, respectively.
The following are a few observations regarding the performance of candidates in JEE‐2012.
1. The highest aggregate marks scored by a candidate in JEE‐2012 were 385, that is, 96.0% of 401 marks.
2. Only 27 candidates scored above 350marks. 275 candidates scored above 300marks.
3. The mark scored by the last ranked candidate in the Common Merit List(CML) was 141. This was the aggregate cut‐off for CML.
4. The maximum marks scored out of 136 in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics were 133, 132, and 132marks.
5. The number of candidates who scored more than 120 in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics were respectively 31, 17, and 38,respectively.
6. The minimum marks scored in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics by candidates in CML were 14, 14, and 14, respectively. In fact, there were many candidates with relatively poor performance in a particular subject despite having high aggregate marks
