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
