Total Questions: 100
Maximum Marks: 115
Paper II: Specifically for BHA (Bachelor in Hospital Administration)
Subjects: Physical Science, Mathematics, General Knowledge, Basic English, Logical Reasoning
Total Questions: 100
Maximum Marks: 115
Candidates may choose to appear for either one or both papers as per course requirements during registration.
Duration & Language
Time Allowed: 90 minutes per paper
Medium: English and Bengali Marking Scheme
Each paper splits questions into two categories:
| Category | Marks per Question | Negative Marking |
|---|---|---|
| Category I | 1 mark | –0.25 for wrong |
| Category II | 2 marks | No negative marks |
Paper-wise breakdown:
Paper I
Physics, Chemistry, Biology: each – 20 questions (15 in Cat I + 5 in Cat II) = 25 marks each
Basic English: 20 questions (Cat I only) = 20 marks
Logical Reasoning: 20 questions (Cat I only) = 20 marks
Total: 100 questions, 115 marks
Paper II
Physical Science: 30 questions (25 Cat I + 5 Cat II) = 35 marks
Mathematics: 15 questions (10 Cat I + 5 Cat II) = 20 marks
General Knowledge: 15 questions (10 Cat I + 5 Cat II) = 20 marks
Basic English: 20 (Cat I) = 20 marks
Logical Reasoning: 20 (Cat I) = 20 marks
Total: 100 questions, 115 marks

Why Understanding the Pattern Matters
Strategize preparation: Knowing the exact weightage per subject (especially Cat I vs Cat II) allows effective prioritization.
Time management: With only 90 minutes to tackle heavy content, understanding question formats is critical.
Minimize negative marking: Awareness of penalty rules helps in making educated guesses.
Final Thoughts
The JENPAS UG 2025 exam is divided into two distinct papers tailored to different course categories, each covering a range of subjects from core sciences to analytical reasoning and language skills. The exam format rewards precision, emphasizes depth of knowledge, and mirrors Class 11–12 syllabus standards.
