Question Details Header Format Info:
The format Question Details [ #q (r) ] means:
q is the question number, and r is the number of cropped regions/areas/images that are (or will be) assigned to that question.
If r = 1, then (r) is not shown, as most questions requires only one region.
If you see (r = 2), it means the question has (or will have) 2 cropped regions.
Subject Name:
  • Select or enter the subject name for the question (e.g. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, etc.).
  • This helps in grouping sections by subject.
Section Name:
  • Select or enter the section name for that subject (e.g. Physics Section 1, Physics Section 2, etc.).
  • If your test format does not use sections (e.g. COMEDK, BITSAT), then you can leave this blank.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE
    If you enter a section name, make sure it's unique across all sections, even those in other subjects.
    It is recommended to follow the "SubjectName Section 1" format as the subject name keeps it unique across subjects, and the section number ensures uniqueness within the subject.
  • This groups questions by section.
Question Number:
  • This number must be unique within a section.
  • Recommended
    It's recommended to use the same question number as in your source PDF. This helps you map questions easily.
    If you're wondering about following your target exam's numbering style, for example, in JEE Main, the question numbers are continuous across sections (i.e. from Q1 to Q75) but say your source PDF has separate numbering (1-25, 1-25, 1-25) then don't worry as CBT Interface provides an option to reformat how numbering appears during test configuration.
Question Type:
  • MCQ: Multiple Choice Question, only one correct option.
  • MSQ: Multiple Select Question, one or more correct options.
  • NAT: Numerical Answer Type, answer is a number (integer or decimal).
  • MSM: Multiple Select Matrix, this is a question format used by JEE Advanced uptill 2015.
    In this format, you have 2 columns say column A and column B, options in column A can match with one or more options of column B. So it basically is one to many (or one) matching. If you look carefully this basically becomes a matrix, where rows options in column A and columns are options in column B.
Answer Options:
  • Specifies total answer options for MCQ, MSQ, and MSM question types.
    For MCQ and MSQ types, input a number (e.g. 4 for A, B, C, D).
    For MSM type, input total rows (options in column 1) and total columns (options in column 2) in mxn format respectively (e.g. 4x6, which gives A to D as rows and P to U as columns).
    Also in MSM type, for square matrix, while you can use mxn (m = n) format, you can also enter just m (e.g. 4x4 or just 4).
Marking Scheme:
  • Correct: Marks awarded for a correct answer. For MSM type, this is marks awarded per correct row.
  • Incorrect: Marks deducted for an incorrect answer. For MSM type, this is marks deducted per incorrect row.
  • Partial (Only for MSQ): Marks awarded per correct option.
    This applies when the selected options are a subset of the correct ones (i.e. partially correct).
    For example, JEE Advanced uses this logic, awarding +1 per correct option.
    If the correct answers are A, B, and D, and you select A and B, then you'll receive 2 x partial marks. If partial marks = +1, you'll receive +2.
