NCHM JEE Exam Pattern & High-Yield Section Weightage
| Section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Numerical Ability & Analytical Aptitude | 30 | 30 |
| Reasoning & Logical Deduction | 30 | 30 |
| General Knowledge & Current Affairs | 30 | 30 |

| Aptitude for Service Sector | 50 | 50 |
| Total | 200 | 200 |
High-Yield Areas
English Language and Aptitude for Service Sector carry the heaviest combined weightage, alongside consistently scoring Numerical Ability questions.
Lower-Yield / High-Effort Areas
Highly specific General Knowledge and Current Affairs questions can be unpredictable, requiring ongoing awareness rather than one-time preparation.
Negative Marking Guideline: Each incorrect answer costs -0.25 marks across all sections, making calculated attempts important, particularly in the General Knowledge section where guessing carries more risk.
