COMEDK 2027 Exam Pattern
| Subject | Questions | Marks | Time Strategy | Scoring Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physics | 60 | 60 | 55 min | 45-50/60 |
| Chemistry | 60 | 60 | 55 min | 45-50/60 |
| Mathematics | 60 | 60 | 55 min | 45-50/60 |

No Negative Marking — The COMEDK Advantage
Unlike JEE Main where wrong answers cost −1, COMEDK has zero negative marking. This fundamentally changes your exam strategy.
- Attempt all 180 questions — leaving blanks is never optimal
- Random guessing: 25% success rate → 45 marks from 180 guesses. Elimination raises this to 60-80
- Two-pass strategy: First pass for confident answers, second pass for elimination-based attempts
- Time allocation: 55 min per subject, 15 min for review and guessing
- Students who attempt all questions score 20-30 marks more on average
