What Happens When a Question Is Dropped?
This is an important policy that every student must understand clearly.
For MCQ Questions — If an MCQ question is dropped, NTA awards full marks to all candidates who appeared for that particular shift — regardless of whether they attempted the question or not, and regardless of what answer they marked.
For Numerical Value Questions — If a numerical value-based question is dropped, NTA awards +4 marks to all candidates who appeared for that particular shift.
So every student who appeared in the April 4 First Shift will get full marks for both dropped Physics questions automatically. Your score will be updated accordingly in the final result.
