Dear student,
No, nta doesn't gives bonus marks to all the students. Bonus marks are given when a particular question was incorrect in the examination or any of the options were not right, the students who would have attended these questions would get bonus marks equal to the marks that the question carried. If a student hasn't attempted the question, the he/she will not get any bonus marks.
Hello Aspirant,
See no bonus marks are given by NTA for JEE-Main until and unless there is any wrong question and if the question is wrong then also there are two cases that in integer type questions you have to do only 5 and suppose if you did other 5 then you are not going to get bonus marks for that wrong question because there were choices and as there is no negative marking for Integer type question so the candidates who have attempted it, they will get the bonus marks instead of 0 marks . But if the question is of objective type then if you leave question un attempted then the bonus marks will be awarded to you for that particular wrong question. Exam pattern for JEE-Main 2021 for Paper 1 and Paper 2 is described below :-
