Therefore, it means that you will have to secure 27 marks in each section to qualify for JEE advanced. Since each question is worth 4 marks, it is essential for you to get 7 questions correct in each section. So, in total, if you belong to the general category,you will have to answer 7 questions in each section correctly which means overall 21 questions have to be correctly answered in the entire JEE Main paper I.

This will enable you to secure the perfect required score to advance ahead for JEE advanced examination.
