paper 1 especially was a bit more lengthy and difficult is there anyone who has a score of
400+ here?
posted 16 hours ago by Harsg

Yes, there are students with score above 400.

Is there any chance cut off for obc fall to about 117. Because question was difficult and
negative marking was high. 62% ques are negative marks category with -2 marks compared
to 50% in 2014 with -1 negative mark. Can 31.5% rule can be removed out due to lesser no
eligible candidate ??

Cut-off should remain at 31.5% (159 marks for OBC) as decided by JEE
authority, Any changes, if required, will be decided by them only.
