Mode of answering in the examination: In the examination conducted by WBJEEB, candidates are required to answer questions on a specially designed Optical Machine-Readable Response (OMR) sheet, which is evaluated using the Optical Mark Recognition method. Therefore, it is crucial for candidates to follow the correct method of marking their responses. The answers must be indicated by completely darkening the appropriate circle or bubble using a blue or black ink ballpoint pen. Any other form of marking—such as incomplete shading, use of pencil, cross or tick marks, dots, circular marks, overwriting, scratching, erasing, use of white ink, or marking outside the designated area—may result in the response being read incorrectly or not being read at all. Such discrepancies may lead to wrong, partial, or ambiguous evaluation of the answer, for which WBJEEB will not hold any responsibility. Additionally, once a response is marked, it cannot be edited, changed, erased, or modified under any circumstances.
Ranking Methodology and Merit Lists: WBJEEB will prepare merit ranks based on the candidates’ score in the Common Entrance Test. Individual candidates will be able to view and download his/her Rank Card, which will contain score and rank.

Pattern of Question Papers: The paper will contain 100 questions. All questions will be of Multiple- Choice Question (MCQ) type, with four answer options each, of which only one option is correct. Time for the paper is 90 minutes. The questions will be in English language only.
For the Master of Physiotherapy (MPT) entrance examination under JEMAS(PG)-2024, the question paper will consist of two sections. The first section will include 50 questions from General Biological Science, assessing the candidate's foundational knowledge in biology relevant to medical sciences. The second section will have 50 questions based on the Standard BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) curriculum or an equivalent course, evaluating the candidate’s subject-specific understanding and professional competence. Each section is designed to comprehensively test the academic preparedness of the applicants seeking admission into MPT programs.
Scoring Methodology: Correct response will yield 1 (one) mark for each question. For any combination of more than one option, even if it contains the correct option, the said answer will be treated as incorrect and zero marks will be awarded for that question. Not attempting the question will fetch zero mark.
Mode of answering in the examination: Questions are to be answered on specially designed optical machine-readable response (OMR) sheet, which will be evaluated by Optical Mark Recognition method. Thus, it is very important to follow the correct method of marking. Candidates will indicate response to the questions by darkening the appropriate circle completely with blue/black ink ball point pen. Any other kind of marking e.g., filling the bubble incompletely, filling with pencil, cross mark, tick mark, dot mark, circular mark, over writing, scratching, erasing, white ink, marking outside the bubble etc. may lead to wrong/partial/ambiguous reading of the response. WBJEEB will be, in no way, responsible for such eventuality and this may lead to cancellation of OMR sheet. Response marking cannot be edited/changed/erased/modified.
Ranking Methodology and Merit Lists: WBJEEB will prepare the merit ranks for candidates based on their scores in the Common Entrance Test, and each candidate will be able to view and download their individual Rank Card, which will display both score and rank. To maintain confidentiality, no public rank or score list will be published. The ranks will be referred to as ‘GMR’ (General Merit Rank) and will be arranged in descending order of total marks obtained. In case of a tie, tie-breaking rules as outlined in the official guidelines will apply. Alongside the GMR, separate merit positions will also be indicated for reserved categories such as SC, ST, OBC-A, OBC-B, EWS, and PWD, wherever applicable. However, the sequencing for counselling, seat allotment, and admission will be strictly based on GMR, not on category ranks. The category ranks are provided only for informational purposes to candidates belonging to respective categories and are based on the information submitted during the online application. Verification of supporting documents for category claims is carried out by the allotted institutes during the counselling or admission process. If any claim is found invalid during verification, the candidate’s category rank will be cancelled and the individual will be treated as a general category candidate. Importantly, the category ranks of other candidates will not be revised.
Note: The Admission Process is written as per the ordinance of the official Counselling Agency.
