WBJEE Exam Pattern 2025: Mode of Answering

• The Optical Mark Recognition technique will be used to analyse answers provided on a specifically constructed optical machine-readable response (OMR) sheet. So, it is crucial to use the proper marking technique.
• Applicants will respond to questions by completely darkening the corresponding circle or bubble with a ballpoint pen using blue or black ink.
• Any other type of marking, such as filling the circle/bubble partially with pencil, a cross, a tick, a dot, a circular mark, overwriting, scratching, erasing, white ink, or marking outside the circle/bubble, may cause the response to be interpreted incorrectly, partially, or ambiguously. This might result in the cancellation of the OMR sheet, and WBJEEB shall not be held accountable in any manner for such an occurrence.
• It is unable to edit, amend, delete, or modify response marking.

WBJEE Exam Pattern 2025 - Mode of Answering

• Candidates will have to answer questions on a specially designed optical machine-readable response (OMR) sheet, which will be evaluated by the Optical Mark Recognition method.
• To answer key the question correctly, candidates are required to darken the appropriate circle/bubble entirely with a blue/black ink ballpoint pen.
• The blue pen will be provided by the board.
• Using any other method of marking, such as incomplete filling of the circle/bubble, using a pencil, making cross marks, ticks, dots, circular marks, overwriting, scratching, erasing, using white ink (not allowed), or marking outside the circle/bubble, can result in an incorrect, partial, or unclear reading of your response. WBJEEB will not be responsible for any issues caused by such markings, and it may even lead to the cancellation of your OMR sheet.
