There is negative marking system, each correct ans will fetch 4 mrks while each wrong ans will deduct 1/4th marks fron the total alloted marks. The paper will consist of three sections that is physics, chemistry and mathematics. Each subject will have 30 questions and each question will have 4 marks. The exam will be of 360 marks.
Phase 2: The duration will be same for phase 2 as that of phase 1. Negative marking is also there. The paper will consist of 50 question of aptitude test, 2 questions of the drawing test and 30 questions of mathematics. The paper will be of 390 marks.

- Health is equally important in achieving our goals as it plays a vital role in our Success.
- A healthy mind will be more productive than the tired one, so a healthy diet and a sound sleep is equally needed.
- Eating a balanced meal is crucial during exams.
- .
- Avoid junk foods as they slow you down.
- 20 minutes of yoga and medidation can prove to be a great stress-buster.
- Take breaks. This might sound blasphemous at this crucial juncture, when you are possibly cramming answers even in your sleep. But this is crucial. Your brain anyway is going to reach a saturation point in about two to three hours of constant study. To ensure your brain is able to absorb and process new information, you need to give yourself breaks regularly.
- Remember, while these exams are a significant and you must strive hard to score well, they don’t determine the success or failure life has in store for you. And to make most of this life’s journey you have to stay healthy forever. So eat well, study well, score well. All the best!
