Exam pattern:
The question paper, just like previous year, will be of 150 questions, with 50 questions each on physics, chemistry and mathematics. Time allotted for the question paper will be three hours.
Each question will be carrying 4 marks and there will be no negative marking in the paper. Those students who have done serious preparation for JEE mains should find it easy to attempt the exam as the difficulty level is much less than JEE.
However, it is important to note that the UPSEE paper typically repeats the questions on previous years papers which makes it very important for aspirants to thoroughly attempt previous year exam papers before taking the test.
Expected scores
On the basis the examination results of previous years, a candidate needs to score above 500 marks to get a rank in top 500-700 aspirants. And, above 400 to get into top 5000. As there is no negative marking, attempts by aspirants are generally high. But we advise the students to carefully read through the instructions in case the negative marking gets introduced.
