JEE Advanced uses a unique scoring system that involves evaluating your performance across multiple papers and sections. The score is calculated based on the marks obtained in each subject (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics), factoring in negative marking for incorrect answers.

The total score is the sum of marks earned in all sections of the examination. The exam uses a marking scheme that varies depending on question type—multiple-choice questions (MCQs), numerical answer type (NAT) questions, and integer-type questions all have different scoring patterns.

Additionally, normalization is applied to balance out any variations in difficulty levels across multiple sessions or shifts of the exam. This ensures fairness in ranking students who appeared in different exam slots.

Understanding your score requires reviewing the detailed scorecard, which includes section-wise marks, total marks, and overall rank. Familiarity with the marking scheme and negative marking policies helps candidates analyze their performance accurately.
