Aspirants must focus heavily on the official distribution blueprint to streamline their ongoing mock test revisions:
Locked Structural Framework: The Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) architecture remains hard-locked at a total of 75 questions divided equally among Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (25 questions each).
Compulsory Numerical Entries: In Section B (Numerical Value Questions), candidates face 5 questions per subject. Unlike older legacy formats, all 5 numerical questions are entirely compulsory with no optional alternatives.
Negative Marking Protocol: The rigorous evaluation scheme enforces a strict +4 marks for a correct response and a deduction of -1 mark for incorrect answers. This negative scoring system applies uniformly to both standard MCQs and numerical entry blanks.
