I found SSS okay and SIS was a bit tough but easier development and International eco ques compared to last year.

[amoleco2016]

Solved 45 out of 50 in sss and attempted 5 out of 7..i think the Cuttoff will be high dis year

[Kajol]

Was there any negative marking in SSS part A?
Negative marking is always there in JNU but this time nothing was mentioned clearly about it in the instructions.

yes was there negative marking in part A if there was not the cutoff can go really high

[shruti malhotra]

it was announced in our class that there is no negative marking.

[Kajol]

I think so too coz whenever there is negative marking in any paper, they clearly mention it.

Shruti and Amol,

Which centres did you take the test from?

In our class, there was a doubt raised about the negative marking scheme, but nobody cleared that. In fact, one of the invigilators asserted "in a competitive exam, there is negative marking, so we should focus on our work"

Also, was this mentioned in the prospectus, explicitly? :/

ISI's exam clearly mentioned that there won't be a negative marking.

[Eco16]

I attempted 42 out of 50.
And all the 7 questions but last question didn't go that well question 60.
In sis, i did around 40 questions.
I am worried about sss cutoff for section a.

[amoleco2016]

Mine was Nagpur..

[amoleco2016]

Mine was Nagpur..

[shruti malhotra]

mine was in rk puram.
we asked that teacher about this.she said there is no negative marking.
but likewise,in today's exam it was clearly mentioned that there will be a negative marking.

and if any queries  after that emerged,than i think that will be unfair.

[SM]

The negative marking issue emerged in SSS. Today, yes it was given, thankfully. I'm at a loss perhaps wrt SSS.  

[Eco16]

Yep,but it wasn't mentioned clearly whether there will be any negative marking or not.
But no negative marking will make cut off go really high.
How many questions did you guys attempted?

[harshdua]

Yeah but in SIS no question on IS LM or tariffs completely changed the paper

[harshdua]

Are u sure about the cutoff for Sis

[varnika1880]

It isn't necessary that cut off for SSs shall go very high ....firstly part A was very different from the expected pattern and moreover in part B the subjective questions we can't really judge how much marks shall they allot for that essay thing ...

[Akash]

I attempted with the assumption of negative marks being present. Let's see how it turns out. Really hoping that the cutoff for part A doesn't go too high
