IIT JEE 2013 marking scheme – quite different from JEE 2012

JEE Advanced 2013, IIT entrance exam was held on yesterday June 2nd. Everyone was

expecting exactly same marking pattern as it was in JEE 2012 but it was very different. This time IITs have drastically increased negative marking in entrance examination.
Yesterday JEE Advanced was conducted in two shifts, paper 1 from 9 am to 12 pm and paper 2 from 2 pm to 5 pm, each containing questions from physics, chemistry and mathematics.
In total, paper 1 and paper 2 was of 360 marks as opposed to 408 marks last year and 480 marks in 2011. There was a substantial increase in the number of questions with negative marking. Except for 30 of the 180 questions in paper 1, the rest had negative marking. In paper 2, all questions had varying degree of negative marking.
All students made their strategy to crack JEE Advanced 2013 on basis of last year pattern but they were forced to change their strategy at last moment, only 10 minutes were given to get adjusted to the new marking scheme.
