The IIT Joint Entrance Examination (IIT JEE) uses a specialized OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheet format that differs from other competitive exams in India.
This distinction comes from the complex question types and examination pattern followed in JEE Main and Advanced exams.
Unlike standard MCQ sheets that feature only single-answer ABCD-type questions, the IIT JEE OMR sheet supports multiple question formats including:
Single or multiple correct answer MCQs
Integer-type (numerical response) questions
Matrix or column-matching type questions
These variations make the IIT JEE OMR sheet unique and more advanced, requiring candidates to understand its structure thoroughly before attempting the exam.
Addmen Group has been a leading provider of OMR formats and software since 2006, when IIT JEE first introduced changes to its question structure.
Our OMR Software is built with flexible sheet designing and reading logic, allowing it to adapt automatically to any new IIT JEE pattern changes—without requiring any programming updates.
We’ve consistently provided accurate and printable IIT JEE OMR sheet layouts that students and institutes use for mock tests and practice sessions.
All sample PDFs since 2006 are available for download in the left-hand menu.
You can print them on a standard laser or inkjet printer for your personal or institutional use.
These are the regular ABCD-type questions found in most objective tests.
However, in the IIT JEE OMR sheet, some questions have only one correct answer, while others may have two or more correct options.
To score marks, candidates must fill all the correct bubbles for a question — partial marking is not considered correct.
This makes careful filling essential for achieving accurate results.
Matrix-type questions involve multiple sub-questions grouped together as a single main question.
Each row in the matrix represents a sub-question with four or five answer options.
This format is used for:
Column matching type problems
Passage comprehension questions with multiple parts
Marking Patterns in Matrix Questions:
In some cases, each correct row earns positive marks and each wrong row attracts negative marks, leading to a cumulative total.
In other cases, marks are awarded only if the entire matrix is correct — even one mistake can result in zero marks.
This makes the matrix format one of the toughest in the IIT JEE paper, emphasizing precision and complete understanding.
In integer-type questions, candidates do not select from printed options.
Instead, they must write or fill in the digits of their computed answer on the OMR sheet.
For example:
If a question’s answer is a single-digit number, the sheet provides one column (0–9), giving 10 possible options.
If the answer can be a two-digit number, the sheet includes two columns (00–99), allowing up to 100 possible values.
This pattern increases the challenge and requires students to be accurate in both calculation and marking.
Practicing with authentic IIT JEE OMR sheets helps students:
Get familiar with the actual exam format
Reduce marking errors and misalignment issues
Develop speed and accuracy in bubble filling
Build confidence before appearing in real JEE Main or Advanced exams
Tip: Always use a dark HB pencil or blue/black pen (as instructed) and fill bubbles completely for best scanner readability.
Q1. Are these OMR sheets identical to IIT JEE’s official sheets?
A: Our sample sheets replicate the format and marking structure of IIT JEE sheets for practice purposes. Actual exam sheets may vary slightly.
Q2. Can I use these OMR sheets for mock tests?
A: Absolutely. These sheets are designed for coaching centers, schools, and students to simulate the real exam environment.
Q3. How do I print these sheets?
A: Simply download the PDF and print it on A4 size paper using a standard laser or inkjet printer.
Q4. Does the sheet support matrix and integer-type questions?
A: Yes. Each sheet includes sections for matrix-based, integer-type, and multiple-answer questions.
