• In case a question is left unanswered or marked for review, no mark (0) will be given.
• In case, more than one option is found to be correct then four marks (+4) will be awarded to only those who have marked any of the correct options.
• Also, Four marks (+4) will be awarded to all those who have attempted the question in which all options are found to be correct.
• If none of the options is found correct or a question is found to be wrong or a question is dropped then full marks will be awarded to all candidates who have appeared irrespective of the fact whether the question has been attempted or not attempted by the candidate.

JEE Main 2023 marking scheme for questions for which the answer is a Numerical value will be the following:

• Candidates will be awarded four marks (+4) for each correct answer.
