One of the concerns expressed by students is the section in which there are multiple correct answers. We are given to understand that the candidate gets to score full 5 marks for each of these questions if he is able to figure out all the correct answers. On the contrary, if he is able to get only part of this answer right that is, he is able to spot say one or two of the correct answers among the multiple correct answers when there are actually three correct options in the choices given he stands not only to lose all the 5 marks on that question but also is given a negative marking of -1.
Any fair system should reward the candidate for the correct answers given by him even if it means part of the answer. It is travesty of justice to nullify the correct answers given by him and also impose negative marking just because the candidate has not identified all the correct answers. For the sake of good order the candidate should be given his due for identifying even one correct answer in case the question has multiple correct answers. Of course the candidate can be penalised for any wrong answer like in earlier system. I appeal to the Joint Admission Board to review this part.-Saumya
