WBJEE Exam Pattern 2024: 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.
